I’m sure there’s a low bridge somewhere on the way to Gainsborough 🤣🤣


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

I don’t know where he is getting his information from but one of the posters claims that the playing budget will be cut from £1.2m to 700k.

Not sure why that should be the case as I doubt attendances will drop that steeply. Even so, I imagine they will still have one of the largest budgets in the division.

It’s the debts that are crippling them also no parachute payments

I think they had quite a few players on Monopoly money contracts organised by Hilton last summer. I’d imagine £700k is something close to break even point for Scunny at that level, which should still be larger than most of their rivals. I’d also imagine it’s just about the bare minimum at which you can scrape by on a full-time basis, which they really have to do, by hook or by crook (although they’ve had their fair share of those in recent years).


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I've heard the same figure from a scunny fan.

I think they'd have had to make the same massive cuts if they went up wouldn't they, there is barely any more payments from the NL than the NLN. So in relative terms they are probably better off staying down, they'll still probably be competitive

On that level of budget it’s unlikely they can afford to pay many players £1,000 a week. So the quality of players they will attract is going to be pretty poor.
