I think anyone who went there last game of the season and saw how basic the ground was must have been surprised at the level of players that went there in pre season. With crowds still below 100 even sitting second in the league it wasn’t for that reason either. Clearly it’s about the money and they must have been throwing it about quite considerably. Never going to be sustainable and only a matter of time, just surprised it’s this soon.!!

It'll be interesting whether they complete the season, limp on with a new manager and vastly reduced squad, or fold altogether - looking at twitter - their owner is on an extended 'holiday' and being radio silent on paying players etc. isnit reallt worth gambling with the clubs future for 1 or 2 months of success

Blyth Spartans in a lot of trouble also, their chairman has decided to sell up, and they've been unable to fulfill their fixtures against Gainsborough Trinity and FC United this week.

Looks almost likely that they're not going to complete the season
