The Hotel Factor
What I couldn’t get was the team travelled down on Monday for a game on Tuesday evening. It used to be that if we had a game in midweek we wouldn’t bother with Hotels but if it was a weekend game and involved a lot of mileage a hotel the night before would be a given. Now even at the cheapest calculations if you take into account the accommodation and food that all staff would need it’s a big part of the yearly spend. Say you have 2 players to one room. = £50 for the room x 8 rooms for a squad of 16 players that would come to = £400 Then you of course have management so say Manager / coaches / Physio etc say another 4 rooms = £200 That comes to £600. Plus meals and drinks could quite easily have not much change from £1,000 from match preparations as opposed to travelling on day and that’s based on the cheapest accommodation food possible booking in advance. If you then x that be say = 15 games = £15,000 !! Now if we were successful then it could be argued money well spent but when more often than not it isn’t . Then the money would be much better spent somewhere else? |

Re: The Hotel Factor
Apparently we trained at Scunny’s training ground on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Ratcliffe made the comment that the players can get leggy/tired staying over and not sleeping in their own beds. Seems like an excuse but we certainly don’t travel particularly well.
