I'm afraid I just can't get my head round this idea that 50000 people can take over a football club. That's 50000 people with no real interest in our future. Ok they might claim that they've got an interest but £35 is obviously nothing to the kind of people who are prepared to put their money down before a clubs been found which means that they'll not be that bothered if they lose the £35 when the club goes titsup.

It's our club not some fantasy football game. Eric's investment may have been little compared to some of the money that's being pumped in elsewhere but at least we're financially sound and wouldn't pack up if the worst came to the worst.

Things have been far from perfect so far this season but I've got every confidence that we'll do ok. We've just got to be prepared for slow, steady growth. We've been spoilt in recent years with constant success - but it wasn't always like that - remember the mid-nineties, we were struggling in the NPL (and then got relegated).
