Re: October 3rd

The banning (for want of a better word) of away supporters from travel is the only limitation that to me might work. Not only would this keep crowd numbers down a bit but it would hopefully stop any virus moving from one area to another for footballing reasons. That's a very, VERY good point - so o...

Chester have announced that theirs has now beaten the £80'000 barrier. That's not a bar effort in all fairness.

It's mandatory to produce a programme - what constitutes a programme and how many you produce is the loophole.

Re: The Team 20/21 season

When do people think the season will start? does anybody even think there will be a 20/21 season? Could be a 21 season... Clubs at our level aren’t viable without paying crowds.

Naturally the momentum of BTB has stalled after a fabulous start. Hoping the showing of FA Trophy victory will give it a bit of boost today.
with the current situation anything extra is an added bonus especially once the recession kicks in

Maybe an element of it having been pay day yesterday/recently for most and a lot of people sat around at home less busy than usual so they've just got on with it.

Re: Raj Singh

I've just read the Hartlepool Mail article where he states that he's had to put 2.2 million pounds in over 2 seasons. So that's supposedly on top of parachute payments and gate money. So if he's speaking the truth, if, then the club must have spent between 3 and 4 million in total in 2 years. What ...

Rather than slag Ra, off when most managers are looking to take a pay drop perhaps we need to look at managers looking for a salary increase for next season!!
which managers are looking for a salary increase?
