Because your argument is illogical and amorphous.Originally Posted by Izzy
A quote from your previous post “question why it is not funded by the users of the service (players/parents via rego fees) rather than the providers of the service.”
The players/parents pay the match fees via rego already (at least at npl levels, in inter-district I’m not sure as clubs used to be charged monthly for the referee services provided). As part of that, northern set the fees that they charge clubs for referees at 111.111% of what the referees get paid to cover this admin fee, hence when clubbies do it, they may get that full 111.111% of the match fees. Ie, for a game that refs get paid $90 for, NNSW charge the club $100 which includes the admin fee.
As to if the entire department is covered by the revenue from game fees or not, I can’t say, but given the business that NNSW is in, does it matter if the referee department is fully covered by match fees or not? From what I can gather, NNSWF already has one of the highest investments in the referee department in the country, just look at who they’ve got as the high performance coach recently, so if your argument is that that money should be reinvested into the department, then we agree, but it’s quite clear they’re already investing in the department. Can more be done? Always, but they’re making a good effort at the moment.
