Surely, the good thing about Stanley's lease on the Crown, is that is will open up two new income streams to the club. Firstly, the profits from the pub itself (and don't forget, this won't just be on matchdays, it'll be all through the week). And secondly, the fact that the clubhouse can now be used for corporate hospitality. Bagpuss may sneeringly refer to them as the "prawn sandwich brigade", but the fact is, they could be a valuable source of income to the club. So, it seems to me that, yes, it might at least help us to get a roof on the Clayton End!
