FA Trophy results

[GarySTFC]

I would think it's 50/50 after expenses.

[GarySTFC]

And here's the full run down:

 

23. PROCEEDS OF MATCHES

 

(a) The net gate receipts due from a match (except replayed matches in consequence of a breach of the Rules) shall be the total ticket sales for the match less VAT, the travelling expenses of the Visiting Club, the fees and expenses of the Match Officials, and other match expenses allowed under the Competition Rules (which include costs relating to gate attendants, turnstile operators, stewards, police charges, floodlighting in accordance with the Competition Rules, contributions to the costs of First Aid Helpers, and any costs relating to clearing the ground of snow and water provided the Visiting Club is consulted beforehand on the approximate costs). The Council shall have the power from time to time to issue instructions as to what shall and shall not be allowed as a match expense.

 

( Net gate receipts shall be divided as follows:

 

(i) In all matches prior to the Final, the net gate receipts of each match shall be divided equally between the competing Clubs.

 

(ii) In the Final, the net gate receipts shall be divided as follows:

 

45% to each Club

 

10% to the Pool

 

(iii) The Pool in (ii) shall be distributed at the discretion of the Council.

 

© The net gate receipts shall be approximately divided immediately after the match. A full statement of account for the match shall be prepared by the Club playing at its home ground, on the prescribed Statement of Receipts and Payments Form, and payment shall be made in full to the Visiting Club and The Association within 14 days of the match. The Statement of Receipts and Payments Form must be signed by a Director or Football Secretary of the Home Club. A Club failing to comply with this clause may be ordered to pay a fine and any other punishment, including non-admission in the future to the Competition, may be imposed as determined by the Council.

 

(d) When a match is postponed through causes over which neither Club has any control, the expenses shall be paid out of the receipts of the match, when played.

 

(e) In any match ordered to be replayed in consequence of a breach of the Competition Rules, the Club in default shall not receive any share of the proceeds of such replayed match (except the approved travelling costs in accordance with Competition Rule 24) without the consent of the Council, and the consent shall only be given under special circumstances. If consent is not given, any such share shall be remitted to The Association.

 

(f) A Club may at its own expense erect temporary stands and take the proceeds in cases where the opposing Club declines to join in the expense of the erection. A temporary stand becomes a permanent one if used after the match for which it was erected.

 

(g) In cases where the gate receipts are not sufficient to cover the entire expenses of the match, the deficit shall be shared by the two competing Clubs.

 

(h) The home club must maintain proper accounting systems and ocumentation (see Competition Rule 32) for the control and recording of match receipts. A clear audit trail must be available from the documentation to the entries recorded on the Statement of Receipts and Payments Form.

thanks gary

[Woody SUFC]

by the way. No risk of it being a Sunday game as we are away that weekend.

 

It's just after the Windsor midweek match as well

[GarySTFC]

I think we'd prefer the Sunday game as we seem to get a fair few neutrals through the gate.

[charlie]

am gutted i missed today's game but was kept informed by my darling other half!

 

sounded like the second half was better than the first...

 

should be back to being a rebel next weekend... huzzah!

Still not smoking Charlie? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rasta.gif" alt="" />

[charlie]

been off fags for 2 weeks now

feeling ok but i suppose thats because i haven't really been in an environment or a place where i've wanted to smoke yet.... having your tonsils ripped out and having problems swallowing let alone breathing is enought o put you off them for a bit i can tell you

[Ian]

If you can do two weeks then you're over the worst of it. Go on, carry on, you know it's worth it. Seven years this year since I gave up! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon14.gif" alt="" />

[charlie]

wow! didn't know you were an ex- smoker? coo....

well my reason for quitting was purely the money.. as a student i'm counting the pennies a lot anyway and i needed some way to start savingto put money towards a deposit on a first house.

i worked out i was spending £25 a week on fags on average... working out to be £100 a month.... that scared the s**t outta me and i thought right, quit in jan, after two years thats £2400

 

nice to hear stories of success like yours ian, will keep it up for as long as i can

[Ian]

The secret is not to fall into the trap of thinking, oh, I'll just have one. I did that once after having given up for three months and was immediately back on them again.

 

I remember Jimmy Greaves saying once that he would always be an alcoholic, it's just that now he's an alcoholic that doesn't drink. Same with smoking - you'll always be a smoker but hopefully from now one that doesn't smoke. Good luck, it's not easy but you CAN do it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/top.gif" alt="" />

[Woody SUFC]

Smoking's evil. Download those anti Smoking ad's and when you feel the urge to smoke watch them.

 

Good luck!

[Paul Stephens]

There you go John - I'm not the only one who quotes the rules.

 

The final will once again be at Villa Park (Rule 16 a - supplement 1(i) )

[charlie]

many thanks for support. to be honest having your tonsils ripped out has been enough of a deterrent thus far but have many things planned in case i feel the urge...
