This is not a unique situation for lower league clubs. It's obvious that more clubs will go to the wall or will have to move out of their current stadiums to much smaller ones.
Football as a whole has to do more to financially support lower league clubs.
To address this, as a start, I suggest imposing a stamp duty of at least 20% on sales of Premier League players and managers, who are financial assets of £multi-billion clubs. This is similar to the stamp duty levied on house purchases. And all that money goes to the lower leagues. Of course the greedy billionaires won't want to do it. But why shouldn't they face cut backs like everyone else?
Another option, is to reverse the government policies of not investing in towns. What happened to the levelling up agenda?
Don't want to get political or open a north v south debate but I fear Gateshead FC
won't survive the next 10 years and other clubs, possibly ours, will go too.
