I see Woking are screwed. A proper non league club we have crossed paths with at various times throughout our history. Up for sale for a quid. Don't tell Tommy!

Given we're a stand short, any of theirs any good, for a quid like.

I looked at Luke’s figures and also thought in general he had clubs grouped appropriately. Variations could be Kiddy as full time I’d have thought spent more but that’s just a feeling. Darlo despite close to £175k Squadbuilder looked high given 1500 average attendances and a significant rental cost for the ground plus being unlikely to make anything from matchday hospitality. Southport from their signings and new investment have probably increased their budget. For us the board should be congratulated on finally realistically planning finances. Where to pitch the playing budget is tough. Yes a good start and keeping up the top end in touch of the single automatic promotion place and you could see 3,000 as realistic. But so is 1800 if things go poorly. Looking at last season the last 12 home fixtures averaged out at just over 2800. Another season of that and hopefully the board will have created the cash reserve from the desperate £5k remaining which the current chairman inherited. Darlo's £605k is public from their accounts (overview here) so is one of the real figures we have to go on (£400k player wages, £185k management & coaching wages, £20k transfer fees) - they raised £125k squad builder that year, got £48k of player sales and spent £20k from their reserves. So probably similar now given the higher squad builder. If you were a Darlo fan you'd hope they are spending less on the manager too! I probably underestimated Kiddy in hindsight, yeah (had them at around £650k). Southport a decent spot, probably slightly higher too but not materially so. The main ways other than the many sugar daddies it seems that clubs are making money are renting out 3G/4G pitches and venue hire.
