It certainly does RTD and emphasises the predicament that many clubs at our level find themselves in.

 

Looking at that though it forecasts that their average playing budget for the current season is around £ 3 200 per week with around another £ 1 600 spent on the managment team and other paid employees. That surely has to be one of the highest budgets in the league by miles (except Hornchurch maybe ) and just further demonstrates what a fantastic job Craig has done to get us in our current position when that is what we are competing against.

 

I admire Lewes for their transparency - but the first thing I'd be doing is cutting the wage bill!!

[Eastside Urchin]

I bet our budget is no more than yours,we just have a harder manager than you who threatens the players and makes them play for fck all

[PAUL B]

........or not as the case may be !

Yes must be about the same. Carl Rook and Leon McKenzie bench-warming - they must only be on 50 quid between them.....

[blue pilgrim]

What a waste of money then ................. surprised they haven't also got a certain Mr Knight as well. Where is he by the way?

[Barry Proudfoot]

Thurrock, who incidentally are relegated.

[blue pilgrim]

He'll be taking a pay cut then ?

[Barry Proudfoot]

Probably be looking for another club I'd have thought

[Eastside Urchin]

As much as you got the result you wanted there is nothing between the teams.For me,both sides are better than anything else in this league,although I thought we didn't play to our best.Still 2 points in it,nice enough gap for you but not impassable.

To be fair I spent a good hour talking to TC and CE etc and found it thouroughly entertaining and while they are obviously quietly confident,they are a long way from clinching the title.

Like last weekend,you are only a defeat or draw from handing the initiative to us.

[blue pilgrim]

And likewise you are only a defeat or draw from confirming your place in the play-offs.

 

Banter aside, its a shame it isn't a two up system as both clubs have led the division for the best part of the season. It could go to the final games and what a finish that would be !!

 

I hope both of us get promotion, if only to reduce the travelling costs !!!!!!
