AyrshireBeanCoonter Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Had a few of our players moan about having to pay £4 per game to play. It got me thinking, how much does everyone's elses players pay? Most people I have asked have said £5-£7 with one even telling me he pays £39 a month by direct debit! Obviously there are a few teams who are lucky enough to be able to pay everything out of club funds and so do not take anything off the boys. We don't have a single sponsor, so I think £4 is not bad!

geo87 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I think you're being generous changing 4 quid a game with no sponsor. You can't be building any club funds with that surely? Last team I played for were well catered for by our sponsors, but starting 11 paid a 5er each game and everyone paid a 5er for two nights training every week.

iain_harris16 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Most teams will pay bout £10 per week. Depends on what you are paying for. We all have club tracksuit for away games, club tie for home games and a kit bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoBroccoli Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I've paid £7 a week on the most part for the last five or six years. One of the clubs did/does a prediction sheet where you sell at least £5 at a pound a shot. Jackpot is ~£100. This will usually bring in about £75+ a week but even then it doesn't add up to that much at the end of the season. (This is mainly for referees and pitches, so doesn't include sponsors paying for tracksuits or whatever) It's a decent system, considering you'd be paying over a fiver a week if you play at the powerleague as a hobby (which I also do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I pay a fiver a game with an extra £1.50 when I train. This is pub league though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghsfp01 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 £10 a week lotteries... Boys can sell or buy these themselves... a few boys and committee sell in excess of the 10 needed which helps. We pay out £100 a week on our lottery. That covers us for training twice a week on 3G and home games on 3G also... It doesn't leave us much of a kitty but.

grumswall Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Pay £5 a week. Club has better facilities than some jr teams in fife and we get new strips every season. Tracksuits, training gear and kitbag all provided for us aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickson10 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 We don't pay anything to play which is a great but I don't see why anyone would grudge paying say a 5er each week, at the end of the day u can't even get 2pints for a 5er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycouch Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 We are a fiver a week. Get 5 tickets on our weekly joker for that. We also ask for £30 at the start of the season to cover training. At the turn of the the year we often ask the lads to take a hidden team to sell to help with training costs. The boys then have to make an effort for our fundraising nights otherwise they know we'll ask for more cash. That gets us training on grass and astro once a week and games on a Saturday.

Jumanji Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I take it we are talking about sunday league here . Never paid to play on a sat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I pay £25 per month. players all got tracksuits, training gear but had to pay either £25 themselves or get a sponsor so most got a sponsor. we only train once a week now season started but I heard it costs around £4000 to run an amateur team for a season. Luckily I never paid a penny for 20 years in the juniors and eos so can't really grudge it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never paid to play on a sat Think u will find that almost every amateur teams players will need to pay to play, even some of ur best sides going about. Am no 100 per cent on the figures but think for a park n ref ur the guts of 80 pound n if ur on astrograss ur talking nearer the 140 pound mark, then uv got ur training facilities for during the week, it's a lot of money for a whole season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 We're supposed to be a fiver but that's to cover the correct forecasts we do. It's mandatory for each player to buy/sell one book(£5) as that covers first and second team refs and the laundry afterwards. Each weeks forecast has a £100 prize and if it isn't claimed, carries onto the next week. You could obviously sell to friends, family etc so you wouldn't have to pay yourself. Also get £1.50 commission on every second book you sell. We train at Dundee College and play out of there so we don't have to pay for a pitch or changing rooms. Quite lucky.

latapythelegend Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Pay £8 a week. Fiver covers training and refs etc. The £3 all gets put on a double at the weekend. If it's up then half the money goes to running costs and the other half goes towards a night out at Christmas or the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now play on 3G on a Saturday ( Home league game costs us £120 for Park, £40 for the ref the Laundry roughly £10). Train twice a week on 3G at £55 a go. So a week at home costs us a minimum £280. We get buses to most away games also which sets us back around £140 a time. I'd love us to be in a position not to have to take money off boys, but for that you need very, very good sponsors willing to give out large quantities of cash. They are very hard to come by... We've a decent amount of sponsors who all help in there own way, which is very welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 What's with most of the Glasgow/Edinburgh teams playing on 3G lately? Surely wasting money instead of playing on grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem is there's not a lot of good grass parks available and the councils are spending more money on astro than up keeping of the grass parks so if u like a good surface to play football on u need to that we bit extra unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
