FA Cup - Financial Loss

Sun Jan 06, 2013 2:45 pm

There is no doubt that our PRIORITY is to get promotion however the inability to see off Macclesfield yesterday could have an impact on income for the club particularly if a home draw against one of the 'big clubs' was handed out. A sell out at CCS would have generated a good income.

No disrespect to Macclesfield and good on them to progress but it wouldn't have been so bad to go out against a top team. Financial loss and the break in fixtures I don't think will help. 2 games in 4 weeks max with some players not getting a game. The winning rhythm is lost. Let's hope that our Championship results don't take a turn for the worse. :ayatollah:

We've got four plus players with knocks, it will give them a rest and time for us to have an almost full team to select from for the next game :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
