@_CraigDenton Lead through the dark

@amjonno When clubs rely heavily on external funding, even for positive things like infrastructure & development, it inevitably creates a model where long-term stability is linked to continued owner support. But it has a shelf life. It will live as long as the external cash flows in.

What I see here is what I’ve always seen from the club - 100% total transparency and clarity, some other clubs would do well doing the same… Radcliffe are very fortunate (like a lot of football clubs) to have an excellent owner who puts his own money into the club. A club that’s needed huge infrastructure investment over the last couple of years. A fortune spent on the best pitch in the league. A ground invested in to become NLN compliant ie floodlight upgrades, turnstiles, food kiosks, fan zone etc. A lot of money (clearly) has been invested into the football club - it needed it as it was previously left to rack and ruin. A club budget or club spend is different to what a first team budget is… There’s a saying in business, you have to speculate to accumulate and that’s exactly what the owner has done, again like many other football clubs owners have done. But I’ll repeat, there’s huge difference between a club budget (football club spend) and first team budget… So relax, Jordan Hulme is still the top earner at the club on £300 a week 👍

@OssettUnited Very proud - we showed up today. We answered some questions and we leave stronger.

FULL TIME | Redcar Athletic (A) 🔴 3 🟡 2 #OUFC #StrongerTogether

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL | 66’ | 08 Ben Tweed 🔴 2 🟡 2 Brilliant run through from Tweedy!! #OUFC #StrongerTogether

@_CraigDenton Non Wednesday fans thinking we are upset about relegation or deductions like the immediate now is all that matters. The outcome of all this is a full clense and a rebuild. Very exciting. League one, league two not bothered we are in no rush.

Good. A season in league one and that man loses out on 15m suits me perfectly fine.

@OssettUnited Get in

51’ GOALLLL Bolino does well down the left to skin the Blyth right back as he squares to Tweed on the 18 yard box who side foots across the keeper to put Ossett ahead. BT 0 - 1 OU

𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐎 ✌️ The FA Cup doesn't begin in January, it begins this Saturday! Not convinced? Why spend £20 at a league side just for Entry alone when at Crilly Park it can get you: - Entry (£6 adult) - Programme (£2) - Our fan favourite local burgers (£4.00) - One of our pints on draught (£4.50) All that and change! Join us this Saturday for @EmiratesFACup action! #OneOfAKind

@OssettUnited @Lionesses Love this !!!!!

@A_Peterson9 I stood in that same position and watched that fly in. Unreal goal! You look good in an Ossett shirt too 😉

All the best to Brid town! Not gone the way I would have liked it, out for 5 months with a broken arm. Ready to go again next season, get me back doing this!

@smilerhopper @OssettUnited It will live on long in our memories and we will always acknowledge our roots and historical values. Our historians and good people like you will make sure of it.
