Ol Sole was quoted in the article, perhaps he could clarify this whole paid/unpaid thing. There are guys that Rovers pay that, presumably, would not play for HBU for nothing.

I have no idea what payments the players at HBU get, nor do I want to know.  For Darren to say (paraphrasing) that the players are not paid plays a little bit on the unbelievable.  The player expenditure, from the HBU finance reports on the Companies website show $105,210 in 2015/16 (loss for the year $42,990) and $85,816 for the 2016/17 years (loss for the year $84,552).  All I can say is that is a hell of a lot of petrol money!

The scarey part of this whole thing is that CF has donated $20,000 per year for 3 years on top of the loan.  Add those numbers up.

The icing on the cake was Darren stating in the newspaper "

"The likelihood of the debt being repaid in full any time soon or, for that matter. any time in the future, is debateable and probably unlikely," says Mason"

I wonder if NCR, or any other Club in the area can get a non-interest  loan, like this one,under the same terms.

I get what you're inferring - players are definitely paid at HBU.

I thought you were the NCR Finance Officer?
