Exactly, not as if we're playing at a decent level is it!

99.9% of company's in the county I bet didn't know about the raffle. Needed to let them know about it. But how would of we done that without much money?

Driver and Starmer have made the youth team profitable, when 5 years ago it was costing 170k a year to run.

Thats a brilliant turnaround, fair play to them!

Well not entirely true, as many local companies as possible were contacted by the club, but for me there wasn't enough incentive to enter the draw for £300 or whatever it was, if you didn't win it, I think you got a brief mention in the programme, a meal and a pair of tickets, hardly worth it for the companies tbh.

Gillingham owe us money for Jackson.

Any money that comes in is automatically been distributed to HMRC or Cloverdale Catering and those that back them. Bank account frozen.

That's only fair. Hopefully the Jackson money's enough to halve at least one of those debts.

Re: the team that want us chucked, i don't think they were actually named, but everyone was left in no uncertain terms who it was.

I expect they say that Norwich still owe them money
