Basically saying they have sunk a fortune and don't want to lose anymore. A testimony to how difficult and expensive it is to compete in the National League. And bearing in mind they basically have a EFL ground and infrastructure unlike ourselves. It is unfair on our owners / investors that they will follow suit but they need to have deep pockets!!

Very deep pockets to get to the Champions League. :roll: This is why I wish their target was a sustainable local club rather than pie in the sky.

I watched Bracknell town beat Dagenham 1.0 in the Fa cup. Dagenham were terrible.

Sad and worrying for the players, employees, volunteers, supporters and local community. Too many clubs like this.

I think we all share some fear if at some stage the owners/investors realise they have hit a wall and their ambition is not realistic

Same for any owner. They all run out of money in the end, just a question of how long and whether they leave the house tidy or in a mess.

Nuneaton Borough resign from Southern League this season and considering liquidation. Sad for all involved.

This is why owners need holding to account on sustainability above all else.
