It's been reported that the Woking players won't get any win bonuses unless then finish in the top five position. Good tactic to make them try harder or likely to peeve them off and not bother?

Also reported to have lost £437,000 last year. How the hell can clubs carry on like that?

I thought bonuses HAD to be decided before the season started?

How much debt do we have?


My Town supporting mate who is a number cruncher in the world of finance (no, not a banker!) is forever reminding me that "debt" isn't a problem per se. The problem comes when those owed the money lose confidence in the ability of the business to service the debt.
Doesn't and won't ever stop me from being worried about the true level of Town's debts-an amount that seems to be shrouded in mystery...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

We've had a few years with that kind of loss so I wouldn't be too critical. As ever there are loads of clubs (us included) over-stretching themselves trying to compete for a handful of prizes. If we actually tried to live within our means we'd be a lot further down the league table I suspect.

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

If everyone in the division lived within their means do you think we would be much lower in league position?
