NLP apologies to Wallace

Today's Non-League Paper carries an apology to Stevenage Borough chairman, Phil Wallace, for any embarrassment caused in an article last week which reported on the wages being paid at the club.

In the piece the paper reported that two League Two managers had said they were unable to compete with the high level of wages being paid at a few top-level Conference clubs and went on to mention the possible pay packets of Stevenage players including Anthony Elding and Darryn Stamp.

During the last week the NLP contacted Bulls News about an article we published about the accounts at Stevenage in early May.

The article mentioned differences between the level of wages at Hereford and Stevenage and questioned the support that chairman Wallace could be giving to the club.

On the expenditure side, the wages paid at Stevenage are twice that at Hereford. Figures say that wages are £1,013,979 for the Hertfordshire club whereas only £543,780 was spent at Edgar Street. The Stevenage squad is currently five or six players bigger than Hereford's.

The apology from the NLP came after rumours of action against the paper from Wallace.
