The benefactor owner has not disappeared from football. Crawley Town are currently top of the Blue Square Bet Premiership, but owners Bruce Winfield and Susan Carter are so desperate to secure promotion to the Football League that they have set aside a £1m war chest for the January transfer window.

Town have already spent £500,000 since the cash injection, including a Conference record £275,000 on York City striker Richard Brodie. In second place in the Conference table are AFC Wimbledon, a fans’ club operating on a very different model. The attendance at AFC Wimbledon yesterday was over twice that at Crawley.
