Do I detect a hint of sarcasm
Yes the CSH is working well,.... unfortunately having more money doesnt guarantee better players when you have the wrong manager spending it, ie NY.
is that the reason we got relegated then? We were comfortable mid table when in conference national when the CSH opened.
Since it opened the football side of the club has quickly declined, and now we staring at a second straight relegation
Yes the CSH is working well as long as your only interested in off field legacy

All clubs go through ups and downs on the playing side and we are no exception. But tieing the recent down with the building of the CSH is quite a leap.
You could argue that it diverted attention, I get that, but I was involved and I know it didnt affect the playing side at all in a negative way.
The real reason was, that like it or not, Alty are financially in the bottom few of the National league, we were never mid table after promotion as you suggest, we just about kept our necks above water.
Second season syndrome was always going to be a big concern but the CSH and the income from it was the biggest hope we had of begiining to compete better financially with the money other clubs are paying for the quality of players we need.
The off field legacy, as you put it, is actually the greatest reason for optimism for the clubs future success.
The fact was Sinnott did NOT strengthen the team when we needed to, then he lost his mojo and went, and the club couldnt afford to throw money, that we didnt and dont have, at trying to dig ourselves out. Unpalatable, but true.
Then compounded by the appointment of someone who turned out to be utterly incompetent as a manager, who many, including you approved of.
Please stop all this negative backwards looking stuff and try and accept we need to move forward now, with Jim Harvey and our better club infrastruture, and start climbing back up where we think we should be, ie bottom half of the National League
