Afternoon,
Just wanted to see the general consensus on paying players and at what level it is necessary?
I have heard reports that Tunbridge Juddians have recently (the season!) come into some money and are paying players. Is it really necessary at London SE 2 level? I personally think this takes the enjoyment and pride away from playing for your club and at this level it is surely not needed. We should be putting money into the Mini/Academy progression at our clubs rather than trying to establish an ego boost over fellow clubs at who is best......because lets be honest they are never going to make the top flight of National 2/National 3......or if they do then it wont last.
I am all for private funding in our local clubs, but think the money could be used more efficiently elsewhere......and can't be needed at this level!
