Most parents I talk to would like the majority of their fees to be going towards their childs football but this isn't strictly the case for the most part.
Aegon - you sound happy with the fees you pay at your club which is great. A lot of my time spent in my role at the club is spent discussing fees with parents and I often find it difficult to justify the costs. Perhaps I'll use your example of gymnastics or dancing as a comparison!
