CLUBS THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE LONG TERM ARE BUILT ON SUSTAINABLE FINANCES

Club finances should be managed and administered by the club treasurer. It is important to ensure that income exceeds or at least matches expenditure and that adequate records are kept.

For new clubs, it is important to raise funds quickly to cover essential expenditure such as affiliation fees, league membership fees, pitch hire charges (which may have to be paid in advance) and kit.

Northamptonshire FA is on hand to provide support to clubs and leagues looking to balance their books.
