The lack of home games, as has been mentioned before, has severely damaged income through the turnstiles and, consequently, cash flow. Again as mentioned before the directors have worked miracles to meet the costs.
MISA have continued to help where they can; I am now pleased to advise that since the beginning of the financial year last May we have donated over £20,000 to the club that figure being breached this week. Of the sum, £20,865, £17,750 has derived from the lottery. That shows just how important the lottery is without which our fund-raising would be pretty sparse indeed! For those not yet a member of the scheme please give it your consideration; details may be found on the club's web-site.
Of course 'bums on seats' are equally important. The attendance against Ashford was disappointing and that's an understatement. Please do all you can to attend both Saturday and Tuesday matches and encourage others to do so. We really should be attracting around 400; it can be done.
Thankyou.
