That's interesting Saughall Robin. I was monitoring them during the Covid seasons. They were pleading poverty and applied for a a grant rather than a loan during the second round of handouts.
Maybe the local money men have come on board since then.
Looking at The Shay, you would think that the infrastructure is there to do well. We are doing well despite the infrastructure!
They had a local money man in Dave Allen....ex Sheff Weds owner....he is a multi millionaire who runs casinos and dog tracks.....hmmmm. He withdrew his backing after a fall out and the club went from the L1 playoffs to almost ConfN as a result.The club is now owned by a Community Trust and run by committee.
They did well during covid....they won an insurance claim having been seemingly insured against any losses during a pandemic.
No idea if they in a good or dire financial position. I have a friend within the club who insists the former. What I do know is they will challenge for a second promotion next season
