Despite an appearance in the FA Trophy final at Wembley Stadium in March and reaching the Play-off Semi-Finals the club returned a loss of £453, 571. 

 

The club backed by 20,000 mariners fans received £218,000 from its share of the Wembley Final. The clubs ongoing efforts to return to the Football League meant player wage costs were higher than forecast but were in part funded by a cash surplus from the Ryan Bennett money received in the previous year.
