If companies like my own could chip in with a grand the 45k would be met, and Stanley would have a superb 45 name long stadium name ( 46 if you count the word stadium at the end )

I'm afraid that would need a benefactor not a sponsor in this age of commercialism. :(

Two interesting examples of how clubs at our level survive with limited budgets. Admittedly Fleetwood have had massive investment (which I don't begrudge them at all), but it's still an example of how they are maximising their assets.

It's not easy, though, when you lose your league status and the significant funding that goes with it as Hereford are discovering: BBC Sport - Hereford United facing administration - David Keyte

No idea if they stick to it but a sentiment long forgotten in the greedy world of football

Loving the supporters is the key element for small clubs.

We (or any other) can't afford to lose any percentage of a small gate but when you are looking to superced gate turnover with other revenue, such as advertising, you have to be providing an audience for that advertising.

For far too long clubs have felt that they should only do something if it provides an immediate financial profit - there doesn't seem to be such thing as loss leaders or morale boosters anymore.
