The idea
As an amateur football club, that re-invests any profits made from its social club back in to our facilities and the community, we are required to pay business rates based on the size of a our ground, stand and clubhouse. This is a tremendously high financial burden that could more directly be put to the better good of the community.
Why is it important?
This places unnecessary financial burden on sporting clubs and organisations that are trying to ensure that all monies raised are put back in to benefitting the community.
