Nelson Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 We can also offer full time football to lower league players from England as well which is doubtless a draw, particularly for younger players. Dipo was apparently delivering pizzas to make some extra cash before he signed for Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 7 hours ago, Nelson said: Murray does talk some amount of pish. Raith may not be offering more money in absolute terms, but its obvious location plays a part in a players decision. Partick or Ayr might offer 50 quid a week more to Hanlon, but if he’s based on the east coast then it’s a no brainier to choose Raith. Raith are also willing to gamble on 3-year contracts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats about £150k(averaged £17.00 a ticket when you count in concessions)… obviously we have expenses to come off that but it's still a very tidy sum to come in to the club before we even kick a ball in anger this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 If you have a house in Fife and you travel to Ayr every day, 5-6 days a week, it is a 200 mile round trip. You are talking about £30 a day on fuel. £150 -£200 a week depending on your car plus 3 hours a day in a car. When you consider we are maybe paying x4 that before tax, its no wonder players aren't signing for us. We sign folk from down south and they will most likely share a place with others that move up, Albinson was apparently living in student accommodation. When my time working abroad came up for review, they wanted me to move off of a British contract on to a local one, meaning I wouldn't pay my UK stamp and a whole load of other things that put me off. I would be financially worse off. I was 70% against the new deal I was offered as I had no plans to retire abroad, probably just as well as it was pre-Brexit. My boss tried to sell it to me by saying, the public transport system is so good, you don't need a car, so you could give that back and save money, Cigarettes and Alcohol are a lot cheaper here as well. magic, I'll stop driving and take up smoking to make it worth my while. If the guys moving up from England are having a better opportunity and their quality of life is the same or better, they are more likely to sign than a Fifer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
