This hybrid model that keeps being bandied about. What are the differences between the way Boston will run compared to ourselves ?
Boston chairman's statement here
https://www.bostonunited.co.uk/news/chairmans-update--april-2023-2776489.htmlHybrid seems to be potentially mixing full and part time players, general opinion reading articles of teams at our level (Chester, Gloucester, Darlington) is part-time = 2 evenings training, hybrid can include a mix of mornings and evenings. Whilst Boston are going Hybrid and train 3 days (I guess some of those sessions could be evenings), Gloucester are moving from hybrid (4 sessions) to part-time (2 evenings) next season. It might work for some part-time players with either flexible employers / part-time contracts or those self employed but not so well for a person with a 'proper job', how many of those there are playing at step 2 is perhaps questionable given the demands of midweek matches on top of the training schedule.
The big plus TW spoke about in terms of full-time was the scope for non-football time with the players such a physio, recovery etc, hence using the facility at Ely but I guess those benefits come at a fairly hefty price and SC has said we will be full-time again next year knowing what it cost this year so he must have plans for how that is going to be funded going forward.
