I'm with Tash & Oxo, as I posted earlier I see relegation as a disaster for the club.
Consequences:
Reduced season ticket sales + expected lower home gates; along with possible withdrawn/stagnation in sponsorship.
A struggle to recruit quality players due to smaller playing budget with players unwilling to travel here on evostik wages.
Our better players leave to join other CN teams
Difficulty to challenge in the Evo Stik league due to the above.
Also where would lower league football leave BUFC re the proposed new stadium?
Plenty of games left to keep us in CN. Hope Craig Elliot is the man to do it !
My statement was relegation is a better option than promotion .
Relegation to the Evo in recent history didn't do us any harm , remember S&H winning games in front of bigger gates than we are getting at the moment and bigger S/T sales ?. The vast majority of fans seemed happier then than they do now . Sponsors seemed happy . That's a short summary to cover my relegation argument .
Where will we find a backer to fund F/T football to finance promotion ,and if promotion is achieved will the sponsor sink even more money in to sustain NC football without financial disaster ? Idea's please .
Re: new ground , a lower grading ground would be acceptable resulting in lower initial costs .
