This.

Personally, I was against the scrapping of the fee for unemployed members, especially as the most of the ones I can think of all had kids that occasionally play in the senior sides.  The real reason for scrapping it was a couple of people taking the mick out of the system.

My parents never paid my match fees or my annual membership for me when I was at the end of my time in colts cricket and starting paying a student fee.  I'm gratful that there is a differentiation in the fees, otherwise I'd never have carried on playing cricket after I left school.

I don't think clubs should subscribe to the communist view of everyone paying the same, regardless of age as that's a bit ridiculous.

Although one thing I hate is collecting money off someone I've called in to play at the last minute due to drop outs.  I believe those good samaritans should be let off their match fees if they step in

A communist ??? Hahaha you are amusing.

It's not ridiculous at all. If you want to play adult cricket you pay x amount. It's actually very simple. If you pay less then you don't get priority ahead of full subscribers. Try looking at how people's phone, internet etc contracts work for real life capitalism answers.

I play for Hornchurch.
We finished 1-1 last year, the div this year should be tough. I hear you boys have recruited some new players?

As club Treasurer last season this is was my problem with our clubs students they would play on Saturday and state they could not afford the match fee or tea money, they would then go out after the match as a group clubbing and gambling and state they had spent in excess of 40.00 each then turn up to play on Sunday and state they had no money to pay match fee etc. There were  match days when  i failed to collect enough money to cover the cost of teas.

I seriously don't think that would be the case. Students (anyone tbh) finds the cash to do something they want. Again though, why should one section get something for less? Maybe I'd be put off with the cost too so why can't I have a discount??
Our club has a flat £10 match fee regardless if you're a student etc.

You can speak to the committee if you feel you should get a reduced fee and each case is considered individually.

Just dragging this one up for some more views following our latest subscriptions being released.

Annual fees - raised from 120 to 150
Student/u21/unemployed fees - 50
Match fee (no teas as voted for by league) - 10 home and away. (Would be 15 with teas)
Training cost - free (county level freshly refurbished facilities, outdoor training when available.
Kit to be bought by yourself with a new rule for 2022 that makes our new kit mandatory for anyone playing  in the 1st team.

Just wondered if anyone else’s fees had changed or seen an update since this topic was last around

We bumped our subs by a tenner:

- Concession/student £65
- Match fees £7 (with or without teas, undecided yet)
- Outdoor training in a public park with two nets and use of a grass and an artificial wicket
- £5 per indoor net Feb to April to cover hall hire and coach fees

Kept ours the same

Subs full £35 jnr/unemployed £15
Match fee £5
No net fee but donation for indoor nets

Seems cheap for what we get looking at the above as private ground on back of farm with own nets and large club house

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

That's extraordinarily cheap. Does your club house generate a lot of income for the club or do you have other income from somewhere?

At our club its £240 for a full season membership. This means zero match fees and includes an item of kit whether that be whites or training top. Over the course of a season, if you play 15 games (usually we play 18), but miss a couple then it provides value overall. I love playing for the club, so money would never put me off, but I can see how a large number like that would deter new members, and as a sport we are really not in the position to be pushing new members away.

I should also add that there are other tiers of membership where you can pay £100 and £10 per game if you think you could only play a few times a year.

I do think it is expensive, but I wouldn't want to play anywhere else.

What does your club provide in terms of training, coaching and facilities @Devondumpling00 ?

£100 + £10 match fees seems quite reasonable if you've got regular training and decent facilities. Season is circa 4 months, so £25 a month plus a tenner per game (6/7 hours entertainment) seems not too bad.

I suppose its what you believe you get for the money.

Training itself happens twice per week. Often a wheelie net brought out and a purpose cut strip for training out in the middle. Training is not run by a coach however and offers very little in structure.

Very old and small pavilion. Two astroturf nets, traditional covers and score box. I believe the club has a lot in the coffers and when that money is spent on things that effect the players (wheelie covers, new bar or electronic scoreboard), then I may not think it's so expensive anymore  :D

Unfortunately we are handcuffed as the landlord will never give us more than 1-2 years lease on the ground at a time, and therefore cannot get funding from the ECB
