@Tippex9 @unionjackclasic I heard this week they’ve had to close the upper tier cause they didn’t sell enough tickets. So that’s explain why people are getting ‘upgraded’ to a lower level.

I’m not going this year cause I can’t make it, but I’d love to go next year if it’s still on.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@mateosmith89 @coachDbutler Think it’s more a bunch of old guys coming back to have a laugh and enjoy one last year together, then unexpectedly and unbelievably going on the run of all runs in the playoffs.

Did they not go 4-4 or 5-3 in the regular season? They just had fun, and won.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@coachDbutler @CoachMikey73 But everyone is desperate to keep every single team and player.

There are too many teams, facts. 25% fewer teams makes the teams that are left are stronger, in every conceivable way, plus less games to ref.

Some clubs have to let go, IMO.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@coachDbutler No, BAFA is like three people, they don’t have the manpower to check every game roster every week. They do it on a random basis so I’d guess every team gets checked once a year.

Both the coach and the club knew, 100%. It’s on them, not BAFA.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@coachDbutler I know the answer to this one……

The coach who did it, and the team for allowing it! That’s at least three rosters that have been signed knowing that person wasn’t registered.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@stuart699 @coachDbutler Don’t, I was Head Coach of the Coventry Feenix until they realised and gave me a new one! 😂😂😂

@breeno19 @BAFAOfficial The costs are a real issue IMO. I don’t understand the increased, especially as it’s way higher than Cost of living increase.

The fact it auto renews on ineligible coaches is an issue too, but as I said, I’d think that’s Azolve, not BAFA.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@CoachDGibbs @coachDbutler I had a vote too, I only nominated people in categories I knew they’d done well in, didn’t take a punt on anything.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@coachDbutler Thanks coach, appreciate it!

I’ve no ill will towards @breeno19 but he seems to think I’m either to blame, or am part of a conspiracy hiding something.

BAFA fired me, I owe them nothing. Im just fed up listening to conspiracies about people stealing money. It’s not happening

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley You’re the one dismissing them by counting them as costs per game.

Game costs are one thing.

Programme costs are another.

Both need to be counted and analysed, but as separate items.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley But I’d told you beforehand, genuine game costs for a NP game are about £20-25k. Cause I actually built a budget for these games, home & away.

The total cost to run the programme vs the number of games played is arbitrary and doesn’t take in running costs that sit outside games.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@coachDbutler I pay £60 a year or whatever the reg costs are to coach my team. That’s what I get from it. Every other player and coach is the same.

What the league does with that money isnt a big priority for me.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley I still don’t understand this ‘answer my question’ shit. It’s basic maths, you could have done it all yourself.

Why did I have to answer it?

I also still don’t understand what you’ve got from it. What does breaking it down on a per game basis do that total costs didn’t?

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley On an assumed 12 games played over 2 years, yes. But I don’t know for certain how many games were played.

It a lot of money yeah, are they wasting money across the board, not just NP, yeah.

I, like 99.9% of Britball don’t care enough to do anything though, so it’s all moot.

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley No clue. Best guess across all the programmes probably 12.

So they brought in £34k per game and spent £52k per game. So each game, BAFA spent £18k for the pleasure. Obviously all averages.

But as I said, typical game costs are around £20-25k.

Does that answer it now?

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley What question do you want me to answer?

Twitter isn’t my bag, and I dunno how to see all retweets, so just tell me what I’m not answering?

[Neale McMaster @nmcmastermind]

@breeno19 @CoachAstley No, I’m saying total costs does not equal game costs.

Wanting to understand the costs of each game, I understand that, and the answer is £20-25k per game, about that. Multiply that out for every U17/U19/Adult/Womens game….

The rest is practice money for all programmes.
