6M from the Premier League

[Biggles]

Following on from last seasons 1 million pounds from the Premier League they are now giving six million over 3 seasons to the Conference.

1.2M to be shared between the 68 clubs each season and a seperate 800K fund which clubs can apply for such things like youth development etc.

I think the Conference board deserve some credit for a change after negotiating these deals with the Premier League.

The money for each club isn't huge (just over £17,500 per club if it's split evenly, although I suspect they will give more to the BSP clubs, something like a £25,000/£13,500 split between BSP and BSN/S clubs, as they did with the Setanta money) but it could make a substantial difference to some clubs at this level.

something as substantial as this should have been in place years ago.

fair play to the conf board .....for once
