The Robins currently find themselves at the foot of the league table and facing a make or break period in their season if they are to haul themselves out of the drop zone.[LNB]The current campaign has already proved to be an expensive one with a host of comings and goings at Whaddon Road, but Baker has stated that - thanks to the help of the club's supporters trust amongst others - money is available to try and save their League One status.[LNB]"We have been given some money by the Robins Trust, while vice presidents and other fans have also said they'll put money forward that will only be called upon if the right player is identified," Baker told the Gloucestershire Echo.[LNB]"Martin would like to strengthen the squad and he has an idea of what would be available. Our wage budget is fully committed, but we have a decent level of promise for one-off donations should an emergency loan situation arise. It depends on the player's wages and what we can negotiate in terms of help from the parent club."[LNB]He added: "People may say it's desperate appealing to fans, but it's happened before. Many clubs are in the same financial position as we are and these are hard times for everyone."[LNB][LNB]
