Hendon face heavy losses

5:37pm Wednesday 23rd May 2001

Hendon FC expect to have suffered a loss in excess of £50,000 following a season littered with postponements due to the weather.

Vice-chairman Andrew Landesberg, who lost manager Frank Murphy last week because he was not prepared to accept a reduced budget, made the prediction during an interview with press officer David Ballheimer on the club's Greens Line.

Landesberg said: "Running a club in the Ryman League Premier Division is not all about gate receipts. There are programme sales, raffles, refreshments and the bar take and we have been badly hit by postponements."

Meanwhile, Hendon began their search for Murphy's replacement and have interviewed Dave Anderson, who was assistant manager, and coach Curtis Warmington.
