Two sides with differing fortunes held Fans Forums tonight.
Over at Macclesfield, former Directors Andy Scott and Mike Rance told fans that the club had amassed a debt of £460,000, had 42 players on it's books under 'expensive' manager Steve King, and Iraqi owner Amar Alkhadi had been 'difficult to get hold of' with a string of bills, final demands, and County Court Judgements piling up against the club.
They reiterated the need for more funds to get through the summer, warning that if they reached only half of their £90,000 target they would have to drop to part-time status. They hope to sell enough extra season tickets raise £40,000 of the sum, having already sold 475 this summer after clearing 580 last term.
The club faces a make-or-break EGM tomorrow to vote through proposals to hand ownership to a new Community Interest Company.
Meanwhile at Conference champions Mansfield, owner John Radford is continuing to spend the cash. They will enter League Two with a break-even figure as high as 4,500, having racked up an average of 2,757 this term, and have spent £150,000 bringing Field Mill back up to Football League standard.
Radford has also purchased land for a new training ground, and hopes the club can go straight up as champions again.
