There's no large donations, nothing huge to speak home about in terms of a single sponsorship either that I'm aware of. The good will of a lot of local businesses and great work by people within the club have us where we are.
People would also be well aware that Ollie Horgan works off a very small, very tight budget, so that's a help, and crowds were obviously up in 2019 due to Premier Division football, so every penny counts in that regard.
