Scott speaks out

Leamington chairman Jim Scott has told The Non-League Paper that Leamington would only be able to play without crowds in the very short term - and believes that the country is at a crossroads as to whether to carry on with life.

'If it's short term we would probably ride it out but if it's going to last any significant period of time then it will be a problem.  We are at home on December 28th and January 2nd.  It will be two of our bigger gates of the season and it'll probably hit us £6,000 or £7,000 per game.'

'When you take that as a percentage of our overall gates for the season it's probably 15 per cent disappearing in two matches.  Then it will come down to whether we get any financial support or not or fight our way through it.'

'At what point is enough, enough?  My gut instinct is that where possible we need to get on with life but you've still got to heed the data and where it's at.  I think we're getting to the tipping point where we may have to learn to live with it.'
