Glasgow Vs Workington (Championship) 15/06/2018


Recommended Posts

I may have got this wrong but are you suggesting that the home team should be expected to pay the away teams points money and/or travel expenses. In what other sphere of work is your employer not responsible for paying you? Do Man. Utd. pay the Newcastle players each time they visit Old Trafford? (cue sarky comments).

Surely the problem is down to the bunch of t***ers who drew up this excuse for a fixture list. How difficult can it be to ensure that some teams do not complete 5 home league meetings before some teams complete any!  As they are almost wholly responsible for this situation they should ensure that there is some form of slush fund available to provide interest free short term loans to help tide struggling clubs over, at least until they have their next home meeting.

If I have completely got hold of the wrong end of the stick I apologise, my only excuse being that I have been constantly been watching football for 3 days solid and my brain has probably turned to mush. Though how good was it to see Mexico turn over the Germans:rofl:

Until recently the home promotion paid a percentage of the visiting riders points money the riders own team made up the difference, travelling expenses where usually shared when clubs had old fashioned tours and did the northern clubs on consecutive nights,  problem was not all clubs where great at paying their dues on time if at all

so the alleged  non payment of workington riders is not a new thing . but other fans seem to think its just workington that had a cash flow problem . i was told by a dearly departed ex promoter that the home side payed their riders and also an agreed level of pay to the visiting team . the home promotion payed all the travel costs ( i think ) for both teams . 

 

workington have only had a handful of meetings at home ( if you dont count your thumb ) from march up until now  . dont know how you are supposed to pay money out , when you are not getting any money  in .

perhaps the team that does the fixture list will be more thoughtful in the 2019 season and start the season in  late may, early june   or it may be curtains  for some teams . 11 teams in the league is not working as i see it .
