"..a marked dip in attendances this season has helped contribute to a shortfall in revenue.
Last season, their first in the top flight of the non-league game, saw Salisbury average 1,542 supporters at each home match. But this term, that figure has already slipped to 1,227 - a dip of just under 20 per cent.
The current economic climate, a significant rise in admission prices at the start of this campaign and adverse publicity concerning what was viewed as an escalating anti-social behaviour problem on the terraces of the Raymond McEnhill Stadium, have all been implicated in the decline.
Mr Beal accepted that times were hard.
"Crowds are lower than last year because of the credit crunch as much as anything else, even though we've been performing better in terms of our league position.
"People don't realise how much difference that makes to a club. An extra 300 people a week works out at £60-65,000 and that makes a massive difference.""
So, it simply seems that their crisis is down to lower crowds than last year. It's hardly a case like Leeds under Risdale. Good luck to them.
