Forest Green Rovers chairman David Drew has admitted the club continues to face a financial struggle after the failure of a campaign to raise £250,000.Drew acknowledged the 'Keep the Green Alive' campaign, launched earlier this year, fell 'sustantially' short of its ambitious target.
But he told BBC Gloucestershire: "We're alive. I won't say we're healthy but we are keeping going."
Last season Rovers fought off two winding-up orders.
Drew said: "The good news is we're still there. We're receiving monies to help with the playing budget and other things, but we're not out of the woods yet."
Forest Green finished in a relegation slot in the Blue Square Premier last season but earned a reprieve when Salisbury were demoted due to financial irregularities.
Drew admitted: "It's always very tough to find the money each week to pay the players and the other staff who make an important contribution. Fans need to get behind the club and people need to use the facilities."
However he added: "We have a number of investors who are interested in putting some serious money into the club.
"We'll only be happy when we've had a good season but also when we have some more investment in place.
"We're having to cut our cloth much more conservatively at the moment because the money just isn't there any more."
