I had an hour or so spare today so I did this comparison of League Two clubs because of the question over Tranmere's finances and what exactly Palios is doing with the money
Needs a proper figures bozo to interpret it all, but a couple of things I noticed:
Tranmere is the most expensive S/T.
Salford must be massively subsidised at that price and that attendance.
Bradford's amazing crowd figures considering they are 5 points off the play-offs.
