Is promotion important ? In light of near extinction stability is first priority and the bigger gates will be helping deal with the debts left by the deserting owner that was. But then up a league and we would receive a bigger cash input from the higher league and larger away followings.
But then at the end of this season many players will have a shock in what is on the table financially should they be offered a new contract. Suspect there will be a bigger clearout than promotion would normally yield. Then of course recruitment will be based on a new budget although as some say season ticket sales will increase hopefully giving the club a boost.
The issue is not just dropping points it is the attitude supporters see when it happens. Give everything and the supporters will be proud of their team, look less than interested then gates will drop.
