The
measures have been approved by the competition's Board and mean that each club
will benefit by an average of £909.
For
season 2020/21:
*
Clubs will NOT be charged an Annual Subscription (Overall cost: £15,200);
*
The League will supply each club with a box of sixteen free footballs (Overall
cost: £12,800);
*
Clubs will NOT be charged the annual £50 fee for matchday inspections (Overall
cost: £2,000).
And,
player registration fees for the expunged 2019/20 season will NOT be charged,
an average saving per club of £159, a total of £6,378.
The
total sum of these measures is £36,378 and it has been made possible to
implement thanks to the continuing support of our sponsor, Toolstation.
Meanwhile,
it has also been announced that the AGM/Presentation Dinner due to take place
at the Cedar Court Hotel in Harrogate in June has been cancelled and clubs who
have paid for their dinner tickets will be reimbursed in the next few days.
Once
it is possible to do so, a new date and venue for the AGM will be confirmed
whilst next season's AGM/Dinner has been booked at the same venue for Saturday,
12th June 2021.
This
season's League Cup Final was due to be played at Doncaster Rovers' Keepmoat
Stadium - as a result of the season being expunged that has now been cancelled
but there is an agreement to play the 2021 final there with a date to be
agreed.
And,
it has been confirmed that this summer's Toolstation Cup match - a pre-season
charity game between clubs from the NCEL and the Western League - has been
mothballed for this year. |
