I think there will be some interesting times ahead. All these additional expenses to meet the NPL standard many of which the lay person may not appreciate. As FR says, referees come to $1000, so thats essentially gate takings to pay referees.
Sure, NNSW subsidise some of the coaching programs occasionally, but thats an added expense.
Unless the sponsorship value increases (clubs should be flogging the FFA Cup to sponsors, national exposure) some clubs may find themselves in a bit of trouble.
Well cut your cloth accordingly.

Get rid of the free 3x training shirts etc. get rid of the payments to players or start by severely reducing them with the intent to eradicate them.


With all these hidden expenses how can you justify paying players at all when it requires charging large sums to juniors to balance the books??
