I think we all know what the main restriction is increasing revenue...

Do we though? The BOD apologists point to the stadium issue and I accept that the two relegations will have impacted massively but I can't recall much in the way of aggressive/speculative recruitment activity since the early 90s. Whatever the reasons I think we've reached the point where it would be in the club's best interests for the BOD to either sacrifice or vindicate themselves by expressing a willingness to consider buy-out proposals. If no-one comes forward we might not like the continuation of the current regime but we'd have to lump it.....and hopefully move forward together (without the Wakey-type motto)

If I'm missing the point Bonzo perhaps you could give us a clue as to where else the revenue flow is blocked.

I think you have made some very good points there

Lottery needs re-vamping - £2 per week maybe ?

I would also look at getting rid of the contractors who pay a yearly rent for the Burger vans, Coffee stall, Pie & Peas stall excetera. There is more money to be made by doing this "in-house".

Ive never understood why we dont do that.

Whilst I think you make some good points I still think the biggest restrictor on our revenue is the stadium, or lack of.

Sounds familiar - almost exactly what Richardson ended up having to do with WTW, although our club ended up having to go into administration before it could be rescued; that will stay with us for a while, both in our ability to attract and retain staff and in the snide comments from fans of other clubs.

On the revenue from catering issue - our previous BoD had that all sewn up by one of their own; I gather that since we took it back in-house, it's become a significant revenue stream, so there is a precedent for that working much more in the clubs favour.

Nope. Nothing like that.

You really are desperate. If you take away the administration issue which as has been pointed out more times than even a dobbin like you requires no longer counts. Then there is no difference between the two clubs as far as any open minded person could detect.

Our stadium situation remains the same as your, uncertain.

So it would appear we were both saved from having to slug it out by Halifax inability to make SL standard and Crusaders failing.

That is how it is and no amount of one eyed spin can change that - both got grade C licences with reservations regarding the stadiums. Anything else is speculation and if that hurts your macho and blinkered pride so be it.

If you want me to speculate, tough I won't. Follow Cecils advise and stop indulging in willy measuring contests. Games both clubs remain ill equipped to indulge in - or in other word grow up.

Sound exactly like it to me. I am not privvy to knowing what sort of a state Cas are in right now, but I shouldn't think many SL clubs are more than 8 weeks from going under at the moment. So do tell why Cas are any different - I've read last year accounts by the way and I see nothing to suggest you are.

If you say so.
