It wasn't the only reason, but it certainly did not help the cause. Also discounted season tickets would not of helped too, and neither would outsourcing catering.They owed us a lot of money, which, at the time could have paid off a few creditors, especially bearing in mind, the cleaning company that came on board with sponsorship afterwards, didn't start until part way through the 2013 season.
Could have saved the club from some of the outstanding debts from 2012, that ran into 2013, which would have also saved on some late payment fees.
One thing during this time, that looking back now, although I liked him as a player, and a person, as, at the time we had no major income from our main sponsor, and there was no relegation the following season, if it were me, I would have pulled out of the Justin Poore signing, to offset some of the financial shortfalls, and then maybe strengthened the front row, once a new sponsor had been agreed.
