Barton Rovers have developed their club from a village-based club to one boasting 21 youth teams, 2 veterans' sides, a women's team and walking football as well as their first team in the Southern League Central Division. They haven't had fantastic on-field success because they have spent heavily on infrastructure. They play a division lower than Ricky German and attribute their lack of first team success to that very choice of spending on infrastructure, because several of the teams they come against "are paying their players big money". If clubs at Step 4 are paying players big money perhaps Kwasi's demands at Buxton were more than simply bigging himself up, perhaps they had some basis in reality.
