The Lymington-based businessman, pictured, said Saints are in real risk of folding before the end of the season.

 

If the former is true, how can you arrange the latter ?

 

Crouch also revealed that Saints had agreed to make St Mary’s available for a charity match between a Saints Legends XI and a Celebrity XI on Sunday, May 17.

The original date was mon 27th April, but the date was moved back so as not to interfere with the last game of the season. It doesn't sound like the club is folding before the end of the season.

Lawrie explained it at the LM/MLT/MC evening last thursday.

As the club needs the money NOW, they obviously cannot wait until 17 May for the money to come in so what they were looking to do is get a local businessman/company to underwrite the gate receipts - based on a full house - then when the game is played all ticket money would go back to whoever put the money in upfront.

 

Of course its a gamble - if only 16,000 turned up that person/business has lost 50% of their money.

 

Now wether the announcement of this game means they have found a sponsor or not isnt clear.
