Cause for a sliver of optimism as the Chairman bends over backwards to get us back into the league next year?
Out of interest, what would that look like to you? Because obviously “big spending” isn’t the answer, given a) we’ve tried that before and b) there are some other pretty big spending clubs in the Conference already.
So what can we do? Well, make better use of what we have, that’s for certain. Over-achieving against your budget is possible with the right plans and the right minds, as we’re seeing this season with teams like Exeter or Sutton. Accrington & Morecambe could both be two division above us next season and neither gets much bigger crowds than what we’re getting this season.
Then there are all the off the field aspects which help to get fans excited, we could do a lot worse than look at our fishy friends down the M180 for some ideas there.
