Range of budgets in Conference

The range of playing budgets in the Skrill Premier is as big as in any league and probably bigger than in most. Forest Green and Luton are estimated to be on over £1 million a year. Benefactor club Forest Green and former League club Luton both failed to get promoted last year.

There is then a gap to the £500k-£750k range, all of them teams who at one time have played in the Football League such as relegated Barnet and Grimsby Town. However, some former league clubs are in the £250k – £500k range including Lincoln City and Hereford.

Financially troubled Macclesfield find themselves with a budget of below £250k despite their former league status and they are accompanied by newly promoted Alfreton and Welling.
