If anyone does have any genuine information with regard to the Unibond Northern Premier League clubs resources, please feel free to post accordingly! :thumbsup:
So basically, you're only justification for your statement that FCUM have vastly greater resources than everyone else in their league, is attendance, the community shares (to buy and build a stadium everyone else has but them...) and an active membership list, and to compare this you've used...
You first mentioned attendances in your post #49 as your only justification so far to back up your claim that they have 'vastly greater' resources than everyone else in their league. This is the only point I've picked you up on regarding evidence that they have greater resources, and you've...
Just your inability to accept you got something wrong. To now argue Worthing are a comparison for the resources for a league above, a tier they've been in about 6 seasons of their entire history, simply based on attendance, was amusing.
I think you'd argue red was blue just for the hell of it...
Worthing are a step below FCUM who are in the Northern Premier, which is the same tier as Lewes and Bognor. Lewes being a similar model to FCUM of course as others have stated on this thread.
edit: I see this has already been pointed out.
FCUM average attendance is 1600, Chorley 700 2nd for...
Shall we just agree neither of us actually knows (otherwise you wouldn't be asking questions would you...). The only advantage to them currently over the rest of their league would be if they had a far greater playing resource given they don't have their own ground. I don't believe their playing...
I agree, this isn't grassroots football, it's semi-professional nonleague football, which in a lot of cases is run in a professional manner.
I don't agree on their resources being vastly greater than others in their league. That is not true. They don't have a ground and have a share scheme for...
Within the non-league scene, having a club photographer is seen as an advantage, so you let their photographer in, they let yours in. I doubt any non-league can afford to retain a photographer on staff.
With regard to costs, as I understood it, FCUM pay a large game by game fee to use Bury's...
They're raising community to shares to build and own their own ground aren't they? Where is this evidence for vastly superior resources you seem to think they have?
How do you know what resources they have compared to others? How do you know out of that list who is paid? At that level, photographers mostly work for free, then sell their shots to fans or the media. Most match reports and radio commentary is done by fan volunteers. Havant & Waterlooville do...
