Rod Taylor on Radio Lancashire...

"Jim's budget is meagre" "our playing budget is a third of Notts County's and they are bottom of the League".

Rod spoke positively that a lot will be happening over the summer to attract more support, both in terms of fans & businesses. He also spoke about the value that having a Football League club brings to the town.

Stuart & a couple of others from the Trust were interviewed too. All good stuff.

I think we all understand the clubs budget situation,but if more adventurous tactics were employed by the manager more fans would come to games.And as a result the budget would increase!

Whilst I tend to agree with this the fact is that 'more fans' would only come if the 'more adventurous tactics' resulted in more wins ;)

What are “ more adventurous tactics?” Do they win or draw us more games? What happens if they don’t?

Tactics at present....some very tidy football played, and another year in league football.

Only 8 home wins and 4 draws at home from22 games,not including cup games and that is part of the reason we can not build the crowd up!
