Anecdotally I hear that quite a few are on £100+ per week. In my view that’s an unsustainable business model and it doesn’t take Einstein to work that out. There are numerous examples that sadly demonstrate the folly of going down that route.

Incredible attendance at this level (and some envious clubs at higher levels). Well done Hastings.

Tight match at Lancing today, home side losing 0-1 to Cray Valley who are 2nd in the table and maintained their 100% away record. Lancing matched them throughout and came close to equalising. Hopefully they will stay in touch in the promotion chase.

Don’t think they’ll be relegated as one of the teams in Div 2 has already dropped out.

Whitehawk match went ahead v Lewes. Home side won comfortably 3-1 in the end. Crowd of more than 700 - probably could have been greater had they given more publicity to the match being on

Difficult to replace people like that. They give a huge amount of their time, usually for little thanks.

Good game at Lancing today saw the home side comfortably winning against previously unbeaten league leaders Three Bridges. Off pitch entertainment provided by the Lancing supporter in shorts, goggles and snorkel

Fort Road has always been a great place for fan banter - almost worth the admission fee alone.

Likewise prefer grass. I went to Lancing today (lost 0-1 to B.Hill). Nice 3G pitch but I know quite a few players who don’t like that it takes the edge off the physical side of the game as you lose several layers of skin in a slide tackle.

Definitely no relation to previous owner, is my understanding - just nice local people with a long association to the club and local area.

Like you I’d be interested to see any sensible business case for ‘investing’ in clubs at this level! But I’m told that in Saltdean’s case, there are a couple of genuinely honest local wealthy people who want to leave a lasting legacy. Good luck to them.
