Estimated Budget to Run Fife

[daviejojo]

The purpose of this was really to try and get a feeling for how complex, running a club could be, and I think we've achieved that.

Yes of course, some of the numbers will not reflect reality, but it gives you a taster.

As you say though, of course we should be able to compete with the other Scottish Clubs, and I would argue Hull, Cardiff and Coventry too.

We're not really that far behind Devils and Blaze in the standings, and this I think, is one area where the conference system most definitely benefits the Gardiner clubs.

Can't remember if this is in your sheet or not, but I believe the profits from the play-off weekend gets split between the 10 teams.

So there's a wee boost in income at the tail-end of the season that clubs can use to recruit their team at the start of the next one.

More pennies in the way, I like it :-)

Didn't include them, nor, did I include any revenue from the Autumn Cup, can't recall what happened there, I imagine it was being split 4 ways.

I'm sure I recall people saying that the Flyers were probably running at a loss and hence getting the eleven imports wasn't as simple as everyone thought on the old forums and them getting torn to shreds for it...
