Duh! Of course our squad is thin and bulked out with loanees. What do you expect on our crowds?
Perhaps if half the "extra" thousand or so fans that have appeared out of the woodwork for the last couple of games had attended through the cold winter months, our squad could have less reliance on loanees.
Times are hard all round though and if people have to pick and choose when to attend, then so be it. Im sure the club realise it and it just goes to highlight what an excellent job is being done with limited resources
Apart from midweek games our crowds have not been much lower than they have allways been in the last 10 seasons or so,apart from our first conference season.
Must be careful want i say here,otherwise i might get another Duh!
,as we all know :na: our club in the past made money from the youth set up,Sharpe.Monk,Williamson,Moore etc,etc,i expect the club to work harder with the current youth set up,which is lightyears behind the previous one,Halpin maybe the only player we see from it,for some time as our centre of exellence under 12's are the only squad who are competative in terms of results.
Also must send the scout to look in the right area's,the club as we all know does not have £50k to spend on players,however can not rely on the loan market it will catch up with us,look at Hereford a prime example,loanee's unless you have them season long can be recalled ,and are not with out cost,it also does not help with a settled squad.
Dagenham were promoted last season with half there team signed from the Essex county league,the link to Ross Hannah was the first sign the club is begining to look in the right areas,hopefully our scout has taken a look at fc Halifax who have just won the northern premier by some distance,there are so many undiscovered gems out there who we can afford,just got to look.
