Would you object if our chairman was throwing money at it?Todds_right_hook said:

I want Wrexham to stay down purely because of the money being thrown at it1 -

Of course I wouldn't but it's slightly different. We are in a league where we have squad caps and ffp rules. If you spend big legally then fine.
wrexham are buying league 1 players and paying 9k a week. Ive heard the from two sources, one reliable and one called ronniemoore! They are in a league where some teams are part time. It's not a fair and level playing field and despite paying the earth, they've failed. In my view, that's good.0 -
Name me a semi pro side in the Conference? I don’t know of any.0

It's fair to say DW are a unique club. If anybody can make it work they can. They just need to survive long enough to grow into it.1

Wealdstone and Maidenhead are the other twoTodds_right_hook said:

Are they going to remain semi pro Jimmy?
Or possibly a combination dependant on their players existing jobs?
Welling punched well above their weights in the conference as a semi pro side, albeit a few years ago.
The thing Dorking will struggle with as semi pro, is the travelling to away games.
Wasn't so bad when games were in the south.0 -
I do think it’ll be a hybrid. So many of that team won’t want to give up their day jobs. Cheadle is in recruitment. McManus is an accountant. Briggs is an engineer. Those guys probably earn more than many EFL players! Some of them are roofers and builders so it’s less of an issue. The gaffa doesn’t want to break the team up so I’m guessing he’ll just take the hit of some players not being available on the long distance games. These are the questions I’ll need to be asking in the coming weeks! I do know who he is aiming to sign and if they come off I think it’ll be great business.2

I remember Dartford talisman Elliot Bradbrook saying a few years ago that if Dartford got promoted to the NL he would have had to leave, as he wouldn't be able to combine NL football with his day job (a very good job in the City)JiMMy 85 said:I do think it’ll be a hybrid.

Promotion is a real problem for teams in the NLS/ NLN. In another way, Dulwich would have an existential crisis given that a huge chunk of their revenue comes from the beer they sell pitch-side. If they get promoted that all goes away. I interviewed their DoF and he said there's a fan-led review that might help sort that out. I hope so, because it's a crazy thing to stop clubs from making money when there are so few instances of alcohol causing problems at that level.2

The same with Joe Healy at Welling. He could have easily stepped up a league.killerandflash said:

I was going to mention the term hybrid, but just about anything in life that has dual purpose gets labelled with that expression.
As for Dulwich, couldn’t give a toss when you have 75% out for a Dulwich social and no interest what’s happening on the pitch0 -
It's interesting that Dulwich really have made a success of the social side, as other NLS clubs like Dartford and Welling for example don't exploit the ability to sell pitch-side drinks, or presumably aren't allowed to by their licensing?JiMMy 85 said:Promotion is a real problem for teams in the NLS/ NLN.
