It never gets mentioned but we used to take about 500-600 odd to Grimsby and once took a disappointing following to Port Vale about 15 years ago.

When we were good, playing in the second tier, and used the Kop to away fans I used to look to see it packed out with away fans from proper big clubs. No small club 'Big Day Outs', big home support clubs taking big numbers away. Amazing scenes when they scored tbf, and great for little old...

I wouldn't imagine foreign ownership groups looking to invest in English clubs will be interested in many, if any, clubs that have to spend millions and millions on the stadium be it a new one or upgrading the existing one. No matter how good the support levels are or can be. Americans view...

They were my sentiments too, it's a very ambitious aim but looks like we are heading in the right direction which is always important. Obviously I'd much rather be running at sizeable (albeit reducing) loss each year with millions being pumped into the club and in particular the infrastructure...

It's all basically guess work from fans when it comes to financial matters, players wages, squad budgets, undisclosed fees, release clauses.

For lower league clubs that have talented young players that sign good length contacts commonly insert agreed release clauses into the contract. Not guaranteed but I suspect this could be the case with Chesterfield and Dobra. It's not a bad thing it's a good thing.

We aren't a tough game for anyone recently but happy to be involved.

No need to try and be so condescending. Most likely? Thank you for kinda recognising the assumed vast spending difference. High earners - not available - all well over 30. Big brains and small brains have worked that out. Happy to stop, as you clearly have about your club's injury crisis...

You are looking far too deeply into it. After surviving our game today and seeing that almost everyone at that top won I checked the league table and was surprised how far I had to scroll down to see chesterfield FC that's all. Far from it I acknowledged the ongoing injury crisis at Saltegate...

It's not about Notts we were shit, horrific, lucky. I ain't worrying about you, I'd be worrying if you were top 7. Don't be afraid to respond regarding new to league and squad budgets and how they compare.

That's the Dan Crowley effect

Ignore all your points? What about the 'being new to this league' point? Wa that not valid ? I also introduced the money spent by the two promoted clubs. That's quite important mate, and shouldn't be ignored. Injuries have hurt Chesterfield like they have Vale, Notts and others but you can't...

It's a new division to Bromley as well right? Like a really new division on a limited budget.

Don't you think it's a little surprising that at the end of February you are below Bromley in the league. A team that finished just the 17 points behind you last season after you took your foot off the pedal and cruised to the title? You comfortably outspend your promotion buddies based on...

It's been a surprising decline. I expected more from the NL champs this season.

True. So if you go more direct do you change formation and personnel or just style? What does Grant do? What is he? Jones and McGoldrick are a huge loss if you don't have tricks up your sleeve.

Agree with all that but would change the end but to Maynard just doesn't have a y tricks up his sleeve when his key players are out. Worrying performances without doubt a miracle we have only lost once in a long time. Undeserved victory. Expected most top teams to win today so we had the...

Which clubs regularly break even? Would love to join them and we are certainly heading that way thanks to a lot of capital expenditure.

Impressive indeed but I just can't see it happening. Just feels impossible for lower league teams / football clubs in general. But nowt wrong with being ambitious and we are certainly ambitious.

We and others know the feeling. Tis what it is no point getting upset about it however frustrating.
