Personally, I'd be surprised if we were still full time next season.

Bernie and Jonno weren't unhappy with their lot under Nev & Co at Salford, as I recall.

How many training session is the difference between full time and part time ? 

I would think the trouble with a part time model at Lynn is attracting players from areas that are over and hour away.  Mind Cully never had an issue in attracting local players of the required standard.

Radcliffe had a few decent old heads in the team . Players who have gained experience at a higher level. Situated in Greater Manchester, they have a fantastic catchment area. Last season they stayed overnight in Lincolnshire, I would think they did the same last Friday night . I wonder what the difference in wage is between a full time and part time player . I know for sure that a part timers not playing for peanuts. This league is tough, FC Utd Manchester never got out of this league with all their financial clout....

If the main priority is to get the Club on an even keel financially, I really can't see how it would add up if the squad remained full time and also had all the hotel expenses.

As Mallard said, Cully managed it all once before so no reason to suspect that he won't do it again.

You shouldn't have what you can't afford!

Interesting question. Of course, just because part timers are not doing structured training with all their team mates as much as full time players would be, you would presume that they also train "out of school".

So fitness wise, there may not be a lot of difference. Tactics and other bits that come with being full time (nutrition etc), then probably twice as much.   

:dontknow:

Maybe one of the program contributors could do a "day in the life of a player".

Why, has Cleeve pulled a Rabbit out the hat so there's more money around?

Fc Utd looked all set for a while until the Class of 92 came along and blew them out of the water Marcus  :laughcry:

The Class of 92 had no effect on FC Utd. Other clubs might have suffered, who were not able to sustain loses of 23k a week to get out of the National League. Think about it

On a serious note Marcus . I'm sure Salford had a massive effect on player recruitment.
