Happy days, if any club warrants a very good budget it is us.

Most of that has been happening for years. It’s the step changes last season and this that I’m interested in. Monthly '500 club' membership has greatly increased in last 12 months, directors input I would hazard a guess has increased in last 18 months, profitability from our OWN catering facility likely only started to pay dividends in last 12 months or so. Coupled with current management team who came to the club at the start of last season.....makes for a perfect storm if you like. Given you’ve mentioned generous directors twice then it’s probably safe to assume that’s the reason. Which is fine as it’s about time bishops directors backed the club after years of, well, being shit at that. If you really want everyone else to give up and hand you the trophy, you should sign Sparky. Just left Spenny after 8 years and what an amazing player he is. It was only last season in the DCC that I was chuckling out loud watching him run rings around Gotty (who is a very good player) and he left him on his arse a couple of times just with the quality of his first touch. Your midfield and defence were left so dizzy after that night you ended up blowing promotion.

I am sure our Directors have given what they can at various times. Remember personnel on the board can change and so can the amount in which Directors can invest.

Never a good idea to rely on Directors/Chairmen to pump money in.

Don't underestimate the amount of money I'm spending in the bar these days. That's definitely increased the budget...

Probably helps that the chairman bleeds two blues, and has been an outstanding member of the community over the years. Friendship alone will bring in plenty sponsorship for the club.
