Anyone genuinely reckon we will have any sort of competition at any level? And how long it will take to get money back from respective associations 😂...... I mean all we all wanna do is play but just seems son unrealistic at this time.😢
No, the number of infected patients is doubling every 3 to 4 days and is showing no sign of slowing. This season is a good as over. I am guessing associations/clubs may give the option of moving the fees forward to next season for returning players and refunding those no longer playing or not re-selected. Time will tell.
I’m with you Carl the season won’t proceed with what is happened in particular today in professional sport and then lockdowns that are about to happen tomorrow for what could be six months there’s no way amateur sport can be played this season.
Feel for some of clubs who have a few players on weekly wages.
That's one way to look at it as well, you pay $38,000 to Northern to be able to enter and play for a $10,000 competition.
However, many of the bigger clubs are more about being a business and making money the competition is a means to an end of making money. Better to pay a shit load on players to win the $10K if it means bringing in an extra $80K from sponsorship.
2020 could be interesting, how much do clubs rely on sponsorship dollars $$$$$ and how much sponsorship money is going to find its way to clubs given the current environment. NNSW football running a competition in 2020 could potentially destroy some clubs. We have all heard the stories of clubs using 2020 registration money to pay 2019 player wages.
I think Stanley was referring the club sponsors chipping in 90% of the clubs revenue.
Some clubs struggle to finance their player payments and are rumoured to use early junior rego payments to fund their player wage bill from the previous season.
Now, with lots of people and businesses without solid income, will they want to pour some money into a sponsorship or keep it for themselves/their business/employees.
So without that sponsorship income, a few clubs may be in trouble.
Much the same as the NRL and AFL standing down personnel.
Being we do not have Pro / Rel up or downwards exactly why is this a clubs focus??
There is no sufficient reward at the top of the NPL like a place in the HAL nor is there any punishment for being at the bottom like playing in the New FM
It should always be about the football
