I think it is actually a duplicate point.
Green was spitting tacks about this last week, saying something about the fact that if reconstruction comes around, he would have to look elsewhere outside Scotland for an alternative - IMHO trying to get to play in England, but at God knows what level.
The 30-40% increase, I believe, is over a number of years, and not just in one year. I think it's about 10-15% per annum.
I think that this might also be part of the reason that he went Tonto last week. Amongst other things, his ability to push the ST costs through the roof was restricted somewhat when he realised he would probably be in a similar league next year.
Reconstruction might save the Bears getting ripped off for once. That can't be a bad thing for the Supporters, for a change.
