Have you heard the saying, without fans, football is nothing.
Yes while running as a business, it's very dependent on the good will of their local community to invest in tickets and merchandise to keep it running.
Many in the community can afford to invest more than just tickets, many local businesses give sponsorship to the club..
NTFC for 2 decades have operated a bit remotely from the town is serves by way of being owned by a private organisation here solely to get the land the ground stands on.
That hasn't helped local investors coming forward hence the size of the debts dumped at our club and the low level trading expectations of a excellently locacate club with a big local population ..
And,
yes you're very welcome.
It is not dependant on the local community in the slightest. It is dependent on playing good football so people buy tickets, local businesses have fúck all to do with it.
You're welcome.
Oh and trading at a loss leads to trading while insolvent which is illegal.
