Isn't this the crux of the problem? Our meteoric rise up the non-league pyramid was not only due to Messrs Coleman and Bell, but also due to the club being bankrolled.
If we didn't have the core support to attract enough revenue streams through the gate and the success on the football pitch was insufficient to attract the revenue streams from advertising/hospitality, etc. during the Eric Whalley years, why should we expect it to be so different under ASSF control?
