This was my point. Supporters, and especially managers ,of clubs that are not succesful always seem to cite the spending power of the more succesful clubs as the recipe for their success. This was the case in the nineties with Rushden ,when they acquired the Irthlingborough ground and spent millions creating possibly the best non league ground in the country.Were we jealous of them; sure we were! Mr Griggs gave them a few years of success but that success was built on sand, not firm long term foundations which led to their demise. The ground has been demolished and the club is back playing at their former ground in Rushden. This should have been a lesson to other clubs about throwing money around to try and gain an advantage. However ,that lesson was not learned and our club like many others, admitedly to a lesser extent, have been guilty of the same folly which is why since I have supported them we have gone bust three times.
