open age players make a massive difference in these fixtures. I'm against it personally

Colin, last season I never saw more than three first teamers in what was then U23's.
How would the youngster feel if they missed out on £20 or £30 if not selected?
Well speaking for my self, It wouldn't have been the money firstly, it would have been the fact that I didn't get a game.
I am not sure whether the youngsters are allowed to play for anyone else at weekends, if they are then at least they get a game, if not they may have to sit out a few weeks in a season, I am sure they will want to play on a regular basis.
So for me, it's under 20's with a limitation on open age.
Just my opinion.

[iAs you can imagine it is up on a usual matchday collection , hard to be exact as of course it depends on the crowd ,also on the normal matchday we are collecting mainly "Pledges " .Two or three years ago certain people pledged to put a contribution in each week to help support the second team and they are still honouring that "Pledge "
However if you want an example for instance againt Batley (first team)which was a decent crowd we took £130 ,the following Under 20s match against Sheffield (good crowd for an Under 20s ) the takings at turnstyles was £305 .
The first team match against Sheffield £113 ( crowd not as good as previous game )last nights Under 20s (lower crowd than previous Under 20s )£267
As you can see the differance is quite good but when you times it by several matches it does make a considerable differance.[/i

Blimey JFFC.

You have released more information in that one post than the rest of the trust has in the last couple of years.

You'll be getting de trustified, not a pleasant experience you know.

Maybe the increased amount of collections at u20s games is due to it been in lieu of an entry fee.

Well yes that is it exactly on a first team game it is quite expensive , paying in , programme , half time draw but we are lucky we have such supportive fans of the Under 20s and people volunteering to collect and man turnstyles for the Under 20s.The away fans of the Under 20s also give good amounts when they come to matches it`s not just Fax fans that contribute generously.
