There was the Craney transfer, for example, which didn't come from gate money.

Don't understand, TM. Are you saying we've survived on such pathetic gates, because we've another source of income coming from somewhere else? And if that's true, why should "the budget for playing staff be more reflective of the gates" next season...is this source suddenly going to dry up?
Sorry, can't agree with you. Apart from income streams from draw tickets, bar takings etc, which all clubs have to a greater or lesser extent, I reckon that there's an almost umbilical link between gates and money available for players. And I STILL say that Coley is performing a miracle here at Stanley. I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but name me one other manager who has kept a club in the football league on 1,500-1,600 gates? I certainly can't think of one!
