If your saying that the club hasn't invested a penny on the East Stand and everything is pure profit.
How by the same token are you saying the club is skint because of the East stand?'"
Simples.
Because the East stand isn’t open yet so it’s not making money yet, whilst the stand it replaced is also gone. The main money earner simply isn’t there.
It’s not just the East stand, or the general disturbance with the ground renovations but I’d say they have tipped us over the edge this season. No other club is currently struggling with such disruption.
I can give you an even better example. The deal with Wakefield AFC is worth one extra quality player a season. Problem is that deal kicked in this September not now. It has no impact on this years budget.
