500 attendance. Such a round figure seems suspicious. They're now 9 points from safety. I think they'll see the season through.

I think that attendance may have been swelled by quite a few who said they wouldn't attend but changed their mind to pay their respects to Dylan Cecil.
Talking of attendances just 384 at Steel Park today. I can see their attendances dropping to around 250.

I don't think the attendance at Corby will drop much more to be honest Trek.Corby's defending is shocking and has to be put right.Sammo won't be missed I hope Crowe follows him,he is bloody useless and was responsible for at least 2 of the goals today.Congrats to Afc R&D on another win today.

What makes you think that? Not even the biggest attendance in the Southern League, fans turning up for Dylan Cecil so it'll probably drop again, 3 players already moving on & the majority of their squad non-contract, GR reported budgeting on 700 before getting banned and reports that no corporate hospitality taking place. IL has stated he's there cos they're still losing money hand-over-fist. Just a gut feeling Rob?

I really can't see them surviving the season either, their best hope was a good, winning team to get the crowds in and they haven't been able to do that and seemingly little success in 'sweating the facilities', how on earth they'll survive past Christmas I do not know. No chance I imagine without someone putting money into the club.

Oh, and I guess they're not on the 20k a month GR budget if they're all NC :lol:

Just a gut feeling. They're like someone who's brain-dead but being kept alive on a life-support machine. For all intents and purposes they're dead at NP, but the machine is plugged in and someone is that machine - Cousins and Hill/Ladak/Rolls...

Gary Graham, the guy who signed their CVA, has resigned as director. I think that leaves Ladak as the sole director.
