No surprise to see Margate installed as title favourites but we're 3rd favourites with the bookies who have released odds so far, with Kingstonian in as 2nd faves. They have Lewes up there as well.

BetVictor have these odds:
Margate 5/1
Maidstone 8/1
Kingstonian 8/1
Bognor 10/1
Tonbridge 10/1
League title certainly not a foregone conclusion.

Guarantee you won't be able to get 5s on Margate for long

Look at it as being money you want to lose, but being able to drown your sorrows with the winnings

Guarantee you won't be able to get 5s on Margate for long Don't like to say I told you so (well, that's a lie)... 3/1 now (11/8 with 365 who have us at 10s) Each way is 3 places at quarter the odds...very generous |

Looks like Margate just got to turn up to win the league then think people are getting far too carried away lets wait an see how they break down teams with nine men behind the ball at home and teams raising their game against them every week on the mud heaps of Essex and the general poor standard of refs in our league first.

Darn that pesky Margate signing all those players and walking the league in July.
It's a bit like when we could only assemble the seventh best squad in the league last season.
It happens all the time though in football...Liverpool smashed Wimbledon in the FA Cup final, as did Leeds with Sunderland and Arsenal with West Ham. As for what the far superior England did to USA in 1950...well. I'm also glad I never bothered to see Maidstone get thumped by Gillingham or Tonbridge in the FA Cup in the past or by Chelmsford in the cup. It would also have been foolhardy to have turned up see us gubbed at Newport (IOW). As for doing well in a league...just look at how Burnley suffered on a low budget last season...disaster city of what!
Let's hope there ain't another 5 Margate's out there or we are done for

You've already told us we're finishing 6th...so surely we are "done for" anyway?

With a wage bill of £17k a week it's hard to look past Margate. They paid a £24k signing on fee for a recent signing (£1.7k pw)! Having said that it's not just them. The Greenwich Borough manager has gone full time on £30k a year with their goalkeeper on £250 pw with a £25 pw clean sheet bonus on top of that. How they can pay that on crowds of approximately 6 people is beyond me. Not forgetting all that is on top of what must be a considerable sum for the groundshare at PP. It's all very well having a sugar daddy but you're up a certain creek without a paddle when he gets fed up. |

I find it strange that on this forum we have people who know the exact budgets of other clubs.
