Unfortunately for your smear campaign and trying to make the Stanhope Football Club look bad Hank you haven't consumed the information quite right as I had the sheet explained to me. There was one colum that noted that player payments for the year. another which noted Incentives which was reserves coaches and players, 3rds coaches and players and netball incentives as well I was told it didn't involve senior incentives, in another colum it noted Coaches and Trainers in together I'm not sure why it was listed like that. The paid players colum was closer to 80 than 90 and the Coaches combined didn't hit 100k so any referring to well over 100k and similar payments to Violet Town would be a big exaggeration. We won 3 finals and jumped 7 spots on the ladder and the Club is financial.
At a guessing point Violet Town would have hit 150k this year and Murchison 120k with Stanhope and Merrigum the next bracket back those Club's all needed to that and Nagambie are fortunate with all their good locals. Club's have varying local bases and fundraising capacities and unfortunately our local base at Stanhope isn't near what it use to be. The Kyabram League has been sheltered from spending but that was always going to change because when the surrounding competitions have so much money you are in competition with them to gain the player. The word on the street is that Lancaster are making some attractive offers to players more so than I've heard in previous years so they are adjusting themselves to try and get back in flag contention as well and the likes of Longwood, Ardmona and Avenel are making decent rises to their budgets as well apparently.
Here it is then;
paid players $84,988
Incentive awards $17,530
Coach & Trainer fees $16,850
Grand Total $119368 (minus other coaches and incentives, don't tell me that could add up to anymore than $10,000)
No smear campaign mate, just putting some cold, hard facts on here for once, for some reason people would rather run along with rumours and innuendo (or your guessing!!). I don't have a problem with the spending especially when sponsorship, membership, fundraising, social committee, gate and canteen well and truly covered the above expenses.
