lovely stuff Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Don't think many of us are that bothered about the 'coming's-and-going's' of players at the moment. With a club (and league) that seemily do not want to resume until the start of next season,it will have to be a complete rebuild of the squad anyway.(With only those who couldn't get into/got rejected by a conference south side left standing. I'd be more worried about retaining our core supporter base rather than retaining transient playing staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can blame a player for leaving if he is offered a position at a club at step 2 or above, who is playing. All clubs step 3 and lower will be in re-build mode once we re-start (which I don't see being before July). For us, as a supporters' owned and run club, the equation is very simple. If we lose our supporter base, we lose our club. I am NOT concerned that we will lose our supporter base. I think our supporter base is one of the most loyal at this level and will continue to demonstrate that loyalty through the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not privy to the numbers but suspect that we need both gate money and takings from the clubhouse/bar/club shop to cover our costs. Sponsorship (understandably) has dried up. So until fans are allowed back to watch all teams in our league and use the clubhouse/bar, it makes little difference if a club wants to re-start or not. I’m sure we want to re-start - just can’t afford to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fans owned football club we will be as good as we want to make it ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwilf Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Completely get it with the players having dual registration....if they have the chance to play then so be it...not good for us at all but then again no player is bigger than the club and as has been pointed out previously the cream of the crop will always be sought after by clubs playing at a higher step. If a player wants to play then there's no reason they can't and won't move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll also now be losing faith with any Conference South/North Club too. some comments are outrageous, the country/world are currently living with a pandemic and we have supporters saying ‘losing faith with a club that doesn’t want to play football’, Barmy. only averaging 200k new infections and 10k deaths a week , all our clubs fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
