11. I remember after the first couple of seasons after Keith took over he held meetings giving supporters an idea on how financially sound the club was at the end of each season. This then stopped I think after only 2 times. So my question is.
How financially sound is the club? Obviously there will be some debt due to the cost of the stadium, however on a day to day basis, are we spending more than we earn?
