Didn't we have a game called off late at Brackley?

Only game off in the league I think.

How is it that the majority of teams in our league can afford to charge a lower concession price? As a professed community minded / caring club, surely a little more consideration might be shown to the elderly and/or infirm?

Although the club have the massive advantage of only paying a peppercorn rate for the ground (apparently it's more expensive to hire a pitch for a Saturday afternoon at River Lane than the rent on the Walks.........at the end of day, taxpayers subsidising things), we have to assume other costs must be higher. Some of these costs are of the Clubs own making.

The DCMS loan for one. The Club decided to take that, not the supporters.

The Clubs choice to operate a full time squad.

TSI wanting their money back. I don't suppose anyone other than Bal or Jo knows if that's being paid back yet, but it could be.

The apparent arrangement Bal said he had come to with HMRC. Presumably that means paying off arrears that had occured. No idea if that's all cleared up now.

Most Clubs at this level that have a Benefactor won't have a CEO to pay. Even if our CEO is not employed by the Club but via TSI, presumably this cost will have to be recouped. That can't be cheap!

Probably other matters not covered here. 

So, it's the supporters that have to incur the higher costs, and from what I have learned over recent months, also the taxpayer where  possible (ie Grants are not "free money"....they usually come via the tax payer).

I suppose it's all logical to some.   

We've always had  more expensive concession prices compared to other teams, even in the UCL.!
