Bit of a hot shot for us 1 every 142 minutes

well I admit to my maths being very dodgy but put it another way 'about' 28 league goals over the course of the season if only he was selected regularly (46 matches = 3940 minutes play) clearly Jay thinks we have more prolific natural goal-scoring talent in the squad

Bit of a hot shot for us 1 every 142 minutes That's roughly 2 goals per 3 games, so yes he should be playing. As someone else has posted it's around 30 goals per season. On the subject of experienced Central Midfielders I believe that there are a couple of ex-England players who are currently unattached & might like a game just to keep fit plus they don't really need the money.

Its still probably 50/50 on us staying up and it would be Jays finest achievement if we can. It will probably come down to weather Jay is able to recruit only a couple of established national league players. Maybe a center back but definitely a central midfielder where we have badly struggled it might break our budget but it better then relegation I for one think Jay will save the day COYS. Sorry, can't agree that breaking the budget is better than relegation. We have a sensibly run club that lives within its means and I suspect the vast majority of us would prefer it to remain that way. It really depends on how much a relegation would cost the club. If the increase in the playing budget is less then it's is worth that risk imo.

Crowds have held up pretty well and probably wouldn't be affected by relegation, and might even increase if we do well on the pitch with improved capability to cater for more people in comfort. With no need for further investment in the ground for a few years and with reduced travelling costs we could probably increase the playing budget. Only speculation obviously but my gut feeling is the club would actually be better off financially. While I obviously want us to stay at this level it seems to me that relegation would be far from a financial disaster for the club and may even be beneficial.

I'm inclined to agree with this but would still rather that we stayed up if possible. I have a couple of questions that maybe someone can answer; a) Is there any prize money at the end of the season based based on a club's finishing position in the National League? b) If relegated are there any parachute payments at this level?

There is no doubt that a financial budget has been allocated for bringing in players if need be,but that button probably doesn't need to be pressed until the new year.

I imagened playing at a higher level would give more financial benefits other then being able to charge a couple of extra. pounds for entry plus the probability of larger gates.

Get relegated and increase the playing budget ..what a chump ... So chuck money at in in conference south is what your saying ......well its certainly worked for Webbsfeet and Shitehawk...haha. If we have a few seasons back down there it will affect gates . I'd doubt it will be as easy again . Increase the budget now or in Jan ...A few good uns will be available soon .

Yeah fine, let's spend ourselves into oblivion again. I tell you what. If you decide not to come anymore if we get relegated no one would miss you.

Personally if we're there or thereabouts come Jan I'd hope we loosen the strings for a couple of players to take the punt on staying up / pushing on.

No one is suggesting we should be spending our self's into oblivion nor should we put the long term future of the club at risk. But only to find enough cash to bring in a couple of seasoned national league players on short term contracts to ensure another season at this level. Simply a suggestion there's no need to overreact my friend simply a view.

relegation probably means 10% lower attendances and another 10% lower ticket prices and another 10% reduction on other match day revenue how this results in more money for the playing budget is daveu 'realistic type thinking' at its most optimistic (bonkers) fact is Jay, the owners and the fans all know that the spine of the team needs strengthening sooner the better - but in order to import we need to export - Jay and Bill must be working overtime

So, in a nutshell, we have two problems re relegation:
1) We can't afford to stay up.
2) We can't afford to go down.
