That was quite the hobby: the club was “self-sustainable”, the accounts showing a loss of just £16,000.
“We now have a club, virtually debt-free, playing in the Championship League for the first time in almost 50 years. Season ticket sales are at a record level of 4,000, double the 06/07 season and revenue from the Football League will increase by at least £1.3 million. It is your directors’ intention to increase the players’ budget by a further million pounds and to support Nigel as much as is prudently possible to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window.”
