Maybe Geoff believes the club should create it's own revenue rather than spend money it hasn't got. Maybe he feels that funding the team coach travel is a significant contribution in it's own right. It's funny how we are too good for the BSN yet have (probably) been relelgated from the Conference three years on the run. There's some very short memories around here. It's not that long since the crown debt that threatened to shut down the club was cleared. The club was never ready financially for a promotion no one ever expected so soon. Trips to Oxford, Cambridge, Exeter and Torquay don't automatically and magically fund full-time Conference level wages. Unless someone steps in with a bag of gold then the BSN is Altrincham's natural level. Get used to it.
