Club denies cash rumour
Tuesday 27th January 2009, 4:00PM GMT.
Bosses at Bridgnorth Town Football Club today scotched rumours they were in financial trouble, but said they had introduced a number of measures to safeguard the club’s future.
Crown Meadow chiefs today denied speculation the club had gone into administration, but said they had decided to axe travel expenses and payments to players until the end of the season as a “precautionary” measure.
Club chairman Eric Eagles today said that it would only be a temporary measure after a few bills had been paid.
He added: “The lads normally get travel expenses. We have suspended them for a few weeks.
“It is a short-term blip. We will get back to normal in a few weeks time.”
Describing the move as simply “tightening their belts”, club secretary Mark Benson said that the suspension was likely to last until the end of the season.
He said: “We are not going into administration. We are not going broke at all.”
Manager Andy Marlowe has confirmed that he and the players will be there on Saturday for the home game against Boldmere St Michaels, but he has conceded that some of the players may move on.
