Although at 1st I was like most fans,who started to think"here we go again" and "back to the bad old days"when the begging began on monday but after thinking about the situation I am only 2 happy to do what I can.
The sale of Bobby Zamora and I presume the play-off money has been used to compensate for the losses that the club incur by playing at withdean.We are losing say 25 grand a game at withdean,which we can do nothing about as well as funds being spent on the Falmer application,which again in effect are losses which,if we want a new stadium,we have to do!!.
With only having a capacity of 7000 at withdean it is inevitable that most of the gate receipts are already spoken for.
Therefore,wages etc,etc,for players,manager and backroom staff are very limited and to continue playing in the championship,and players deservedly earning more,then it does not surprise me that the club needs help.I only hope that the club is not asking for help to pay Inland Revenue,Vat etc,and that the players wages are being paid because if that is the case then we would be back to the days of Bellotti and Archer!!!.
I am sure that this is not the case and to prevent possible problems like these arising then the club is asking for our help.
