Recession Hits Non-League Clubs
Non-league football clubs are taking a big hit as the economy slips into recession. Conference outfit Grays Athletic have cut their players’ wages by a 50 per cent payment deferral to avoid going into administration which is technically a breach of contract and allows players to leave. Workington managed to negotiate a voluntary 10 per cent cut. Despite riding high in the Ryman South, Folkestone Invicta are on the verge of financial meltdown.
