Ruba Mustafa Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Chorley just beat Peterborough 2-1 to get into the third round of the fa cup! A trademark opening goal by Connor hall as he nipped in behind Mark beavers to score from an angle. lets hope they get a great draw in the next round.

athywhite1958 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We need summat like £1500 per week to put a game on, some teams need at least double that due to high players wages, the government will not pay it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2020 People’s budgets are thrown about and you hear all sorts of figures, there’s a team in our league that we beat (and who were awful) I was told were spending 7K a week. South Shields can pay enough for lads to stay up there a few days a week, Jason Gilchrist is a Scouser for example. Random stab in the dark is he’s on a grand a week, possibly more. On the other hand, many clubs have ongoing financial issues but can attract people because of their stature, Hyde United, FC United etc. I’d say 5 grand a week isn’t far off the average wage bill in the Northern Prem. Colls can’t see that from where they are. There’s a lot of deluded folk who think they should be in the league, ask them which league club they think they are bigger than, you’d have a very short list!

Them figures are embarrassing for jumpers for goalposts. How are they sustainable even in normal times. I know had lad who was playing regional conference on £900 a week 10 years plus ago. Left Brentford for it as it was more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) You have to look at each club individually, South Shields are (or were!) getting crowd of 2k+, they can well afford it, not a problem. They aren't walking the league so brought in Jack Hindle from Barrow. All of Colls frontline came from clubs in the North West Counties! If you are hell bent on getting out of the league, this would appear to be the most cost effective year to do it. Most clubs have multi-millionaires at the helm, but still lack of revenue will be hurting. I think that this lockdown will cause a massive overhaul myself, I'm on the outside of the club, haven't got a scooby doo what's going on, the league haven't communicated anything whatsoever. It's a shambles.They are busy wanking over Marine's success (and well done to them), you can't keep the punters entirely in the dark, feeding them shit. I'd rather watch Bolton on iFollow than watch a league that may or not get played to completion. I suspect I'm not alone on that front.

Moderators Horwich Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2020 I had an email this morning off the west lancs league saying if the rules dont change about the travelling between tiers, they wont be able to finish another season. We dont have floodlights, so we can only play at weekend during this time of year. I can see it being knocked on the head very soon. At a higher level where players get paid, they need to have a look at themselves. Especially in the counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2020 Obviously everyone has fixed costs, doubt there's many under contract in the Counties so it's pay as you play. Once you go up a league, there's contracts, £x per week, if there's no get out clauses then clubs are spunking money out with zero coming in.

Moderators Carlos Posted December 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2020 Laburnum have only played 2 league games, if it's a bad winter, even if it isn't, pitches won't handle being cut up twice a week then a shorter summer break to recover. You aren't getting all them games in, end of. Play the games and stream them, you may get some new fans, who knows. Knocking it on the head whilst Prem games are on tele is suicidal imo. It's a massive challenge, some clubs will come out of it better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
