GHM I remember this time last year we had a great debate on the future of BUFC, predominantly concerning you making a valid case for the club to be relegated? I'm sure u will revisit those posts, and you will find that you regularly posted on here; that our club would cope better financially in the Evo Stik Premier, than in the Conference? More often than not u come up with hypothetical assessments of some future club accounts that in actual fact are totally irrelevant as only the Chestnuts would have any say in. How ever any of us fans dress it up, The Chairman & Manager are doing their up most to get us back in the Division above!
Regarding the financial hypothesis that we would come straight back down, it's nonsense. GHM u state most of the club's I listed in the Conference are so much better off than us logistically & financially....seriously? Let's go with Solihull Moors, Gateshead & Maidstone.
We don't need to discuss Solihull crowds, sponsorship etc, ok Midlands catchment area, no money though....6/7th in league? Gateshead: good catchment area, in the recent Wembley play off season home crowds under 600?? Always sniffing around play offs. No major investment ?? Maidstone, Phoenix club, starting from scratch after FL not easy, worked with some of their fans, they were split on climbing Kent league's 2 quick?? They are holding their own though on a shoestring!
Only DN knows what sort of investment would go into the coffers if we were promoted. Finally if the Chairman didn't want to take us Up he would have been gone by now, not building us a New Stadium.
