For Many English
Football League Clubs
Says DAVID JACK
Sell or go under. That is the gloomy prospect facing the majority-yes, the majority of Football League clubs. To keep off the breadline, most clubs must average gates of 28,000 (First Division), 20,000 (Second Division) and 12,000 (Third Division), and they haven't a chance.
Promotion-conscious supporters of Southend United, Grimsby Town, Gateshead and other clubs can stop dreaming • now.
