They must be paying very good money.

Silly amounts of money on crowds of 250, not going to end well. Good luck to big Tom, great defender but too injury prone.

They'll be getting crowds similar to us next season to be fair to them

Very easy to say but think would be impossible to achieve.

Our attendances will be 3 figures next season.

Is kind of irrelevant what our attendances will be when talking about Maldon’s?? Maldon are likely to be the next club to go pop when the money runs out and they’re left with a load of contracts they can’t afford. They may get more than 250 for a few games when they are winning, but it won’t last.

Is also a lot of numbers which have three figures in. 101 has three figures in as does 999, but the different in income between 101 paying customers and 999 paying customers would be quite substantial!!

They had 1600 Easter Monday, only 100 less than Braintree against us.

That was a made up figure to make some noise, check out the videos from the game barely 3-400 in the ground, 1600 present that ground would look packed.

It’s £11 per match for a season ticket in terrace or SDS stand, if they charge £18 entry on the day you would have to go to 14 games for the season ticket to be value for money. My concern is the on the day price, if it’s anywhere near £20 any floating fans will just say no thanks and even if we managed to have a good season people would still not come. As pointed out the club need to release on the day prices to show how much of a deal this is. A new manager and some signings will also help but pretty much impossible given the 2 week deadline to renew.

It’s really not difficult to manage the basics of a football club at this level but somehow we manage to balls it up every single time.
