The 'community' clubs which are at most risk are those whose hubristic management have incurred large and unavoidable overheads, normally by the ambitious overdevelopment of their fixed assets, usually in pursuit of the Impossible Dream. This is a tragedy, although in most cases understandable, which afflicts several of my own club's best friends. I do hope that other clubs with such plans in the pipeline will think very carefully before going ahead.

The issue revolves around local council withdrawing from the £20m Sports Village project on the pitches outside the Arena.

While that is understandable in the current climate with most if not all local authorities having their budgets squeezed that would throw any club into complete disarray and is hardly mismanagement if you are going along a projected road to come against a funding withdrawal I would say it is only negligent if you have paid out the money before you get it but that again is what most businesses do

I understand this to be a minor issue

£20m a minor issue? I think that is pretty significant Front 5!!!

Which has some pretty major inaccuracies, hence the statement at https://www.mowdenpark.com/news/club-statement--darlington-sports-village-2549031.html |

Yes I read that at the time. Not a lot of detail about what was actually inaccurate. It was reassuring to read that long term finances are sound but then an extraordinary general meeting is called.

My point about this being minor issue was this was money assisgned for a development which to date has not happened. As such can't miss money you never had and any business plan based around proposed investments is always destined to fail

You can miss revenue you were expecting to generate as part of a longer term business plan. Never been a DMP member just a fairly frequent spectator so will have to rely on others for updates. Hopefully all will be well.

This might not be received too well as some of the points are probably valid.

Having just read through the letter I am sure it will go down well at HQ. I suspect a lot of people would have more sympathy if Plymouth hadn't recently been in Administration (was this the first time?) and exited it still owing a lot of local people/businesses the majority of what they were entitled to. Just to say, this is just my personal opinion. |

I have done my best to feel some sympathy for Plymouth Albion but taking account of the way they gamed the system to leave creditors unpaid, I have totally failed to find any. To my mind the RFU were complicit, the Regulations in place at the time conniving at bringing the Game into disrepute.

Are they talking about last years travel money?
If not and it is this seasons then its no financial sanction at all given the RFU have withdrawn support for the NCA and there won't be any travel money. Enjoyed reading the letter, ignore the actual 'offence' and the general tone puts across perfectly the problems clubs face when ever dealing with the RFU.

I have a bit of sympathy but not a lot. I've done my Club;'s Return for the last two years and made sure I asked the questions before I hit the final button. Last year, which is the year they are being punished for, also required 4 people to physically sign a document so how are those 4 dealing with their failure to ensure the return was correct?

I am sorry but if it takes 4 people to sign off a return it is obviously too complicated, this is an amateur at best semi - pro sport, run by enthusiasts and amateurs. Yes flagrant breaking of the rules should be punished but not simple clerical errors . . come on. Rams and PA have been very very harshly treated, and to impose a fine on either club at these times is simply madness . . .. I wonder what salary sacrifice Sweeney Todd has made?

As I understand it one person should be able to fill it in. The other three merely need to check and sign it. The idea is that all four are declaring the form is correct. I would hope you can fix it up until the point all four have signed. However, as I am not on the committee I have not seen the interface.
