a regular expense payment and that includes our players. We do not
have one or more large sponsors ... we have many sponsors who
contribute a bit, all of which covers our running costs in order to
keep the club afloat. This in itself presents all kinds of challenges
with attracting or retaining players because at the end of the
day, just like in the professional game, money talks now.
FF: What are the clubs ambitions for the next 5 years?
MT: In an ideal world we would like to see some
significant ground improvements which will help to
attract more supporters and more sponsors all of which
will enable us to generate more revenue to fund further
improvements. Once we can maintain that we hope to
have recruited more committee members and possibly
start to see the establishment of some sort of youth set up.
If we can do that, then we can try and set our sights
on attracting better players, developing our own youth
players and trying to push up the league pyramid. It’s
ambitious, but believe me, if you had spoken to me 12
months ago I would have told you I was worried about the
future of the club – we have come a long way in that short time,
and although only very small steps have been taken, there is an
opportunity to move forward now.
