I think the club has been lucky with players and management who have either been paid very little or nothing for much of the season.
It's a credit to those who turned up for the final few games after the ground issues. It would have so very easy for them to have turned their backs on the club, and not see out the campaign.
However, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to raise a squad without some sort of sensible budget. Especially as at the moment players aren't going to sign for a club that doesn't yet know at what level they will be playing at.
I moved away from Staines over 20 years ago - now living in Lincolnshire. There are a couple of clubs in the area that don't pay players a penny, not even travel expenses. When I asked the club officers about this they said that either players want to play football or they don't; if they need to be paid to play, the club doesn't want them.
However, in general, players expect some form of payment; at the very least expenses. And there is always going to be another club that will offer another £5 a game to tempt players to join them.
