Charge the scorer ! Great  idea why not start charging the umpires  for there mistakes ho and then there's the tea lady who forgot the butter and the groundsman for the one that kept low and got you out I could make a list

I'll write these down, along with the above ideas of charging the scorer. We could all amalgamate our ideas in this thread and each propose them to our clubs  ;)

On top of all the above maybe you could charge the other team for use of the changing rooms. Then an extra fee to turn the hot water on for them for their post game showers.

Sod it, might as well go all out and charge an admission fee for the spectators too!

In all seriousness if you can charge your scorer your club is in a very healthy position. We struggle to find someone to do it in exchange olfor a non-stop flow of booze and a curry after the game

We don't pay our scorer as he's mad for it (mathematician, does all the club stats going back to the 50's, literally every game, balls faced and knows all the records p). We've tried to give him £15 as it seems the norm but he refuses.. So he gets a free tea and we all take it in turns (although some don't as they are tight/selfish)  buy him a cider post match.

Rules say like below we have to have a scorer and no, players don't count so he's a god send.. Very few people want to sit and score so I can see why teams have to pay. Only clubs I've seen who get it for free are mums, dads and partners being ropped in.

You charge the scorer!!!!! We would give our eye teeth to have one and bung them a few free beers.
In that case I suggest you get someone to operate the scoreboard, someone to find lost balls and someone to do the washing up. Charge them all a quid each and that should help balance the the books.
Not sure if you're having a laugh or not but I'll bite...

Each of the players PAYS the scorer £1 (or 50p for cup matches).

Phew, that sounds better. The way it was written originally made it sound that the scorer had to pay for the privilege
