easy - go pro.
i know when u look at fgr this season being pro and all it doesn't look in terms of league position that it has helped but it has. jim harvey has during the season since he took over built a squad that will definetly possibily be up with the lower play off positions next season. we wouldn't be able to sign big names such as danny carey-bertram, simon clist, paul wanless before. the problem is you need a bit of money and big sponsorship and backers and i don't know whether you have it at altrincham.
we don't want that!
'Big' backers pull out when thigs aren't going the right way and money is not being made, do you seriously think DCB is affordable on your crowd figures do you seriously think you have the money? what were your end of year books like? if they are anything like the rest of the pro clubs with crowds of 1200 thee red vrey vrey red. i'd rather wait till the rest of the clubs realise full time in this league is a joke and join us part timmers again and go up then, do it the old way where part of the brilliance of being promoted for the players was spending a year (or more)as a full time footballer signing that contract and turning up @ work on a monday morning only to realise you are going to play football for a living, as it is now dropping out of the football league for many players is not a worry they will still get paid play full time and its the club who will suffer when books don't balance like they used to.
all in all as has been said time and time before part-time is the way forward not full-time oh and on another noteto be 'proffesional' means the job gets done well and its done within the correct financial constraints, ask lancaster fans if it worked for tham, or horchurch, or canvey, or weymouth, or (add as appropriate, i cant be arsed)
