Be interesting to see how disbursement is made and what the criteria are. I know Coastal lost a $2.5m gym that returned a good income but other clubs didn't own a lot in the way of facilities e.g. Utd at QE2, so apart from having to find somewhere else to train/play they haven't suffered too much financially. If it goes by tonnes of liquefaction Coastal will win hands down with Cuthberts and Bexley. Can we count the mud on the rugby pitches as well?
When at Linfield the other�week one of the committee members I was talking to said that the Gym was fully insured so all was sweet -�looking at what�options for a rebuild.
That information was not entirely accurate. the club will not be able to replace what they had under the insurance, will get something but not to the same scale and it may be 2 - 3 years away. Club is in the same position as residents, waiting on land reports and an intransigent insurance company. In the mean time the club has gone a season with a massive hole in it's budget with no sign of a letup in the near future. Coming from out east poverty is 2nd nature for us.Ronaldoknow2011-06-21 22:34:05
