You’re right, Keith. Previous lockdown came with furlough support, this one not by looks of things. Critical time for football clubs.

So many clubs already gone under
It should be a time for the premier League etc and those running FA to have a rethink on how the structure is running and make drastic changes .
But that isn't going to happen
These are not good times ....

A very tough time for the club. The Chairman is right, absolutely no point starting the session at our level without supporters present. Far better to lobby hard for government support. I don't see football without fans being viable at anything less than Championship level (and even that is only on a temporary basis).

Parminter made BBC's Breakfast sporting section so the interview will probably be on the local news this evening.
Because of the virus repercussions I wonder if clubs like Dover will go back to the more amateur status that I knew as a child.

Dover nearing the end. Parmenter: 'We have the ridiculous situation where the leagues above are playing with TV revenue and the leagues below us playing with crowds.'
Given that any sign of rational thinking in this government has been absent for at least the last six months, and that national policy is now determined by panic, fear-mongering and arse-covering, it's rather too hopeful of the chairman to expect anything other than 'the ridiculous' when it comes to football.

Chairperson has given the league 2 weeks to change mind on letting crowds in
Or the club likely to go under .
I'm sure many more will follow .

Must say in the pass I have not been a good supporter in going and paying to see them person, but I been going from the time the club set up again after the war but I will try to go more when the KO starts off but my legs are not that good. Anyway I hope they can keep going and we must give thanks to the chairman for doing and putting his own money into the club, without that and others who have helped the club would have gone by now. I do hope that the D.D.C. is also trying to keep the club going.

Of course this is not really a role for councils
The national League are talking with the FA with some kind of rescue plan
Which could give each club £40,000 a month
Although Dover has said it costs £80,000 a month to run
Some new ideas are coming forward including streaming games which will bring in some revenue
Interesting to see how it all pans out

unfortunatly Keith if there is which I hpoe there will be some funding provided to the clubs , then it is unlikely it will be distributed evenly. I hope I am wrong but I think it will be distributed on some sort of scale. They may look at average crowd size and work from that. So those that normally get the bigger crowds get more financial support.

The ground is owed by the D.D.C. so there must be a cost to the club to use it just maybe that cost can be droped till the club gets back up and running ,but I do not know that might in place anyway.

Looks like the league is closing in on a deal with the government where clubs receive their lost gate revenue. For ourselves, that would be (my guess) 1,100 (average gate last season) x 17 quid(ish) (average league gate price) x 3 (average number of home games per month - around 50k per month. There or thereabouts.

Still waiting to hear what the funding given will be. It looks like how it will be spread between the teams willl be as Neil says based on lost gate revenue but at the moment the figures being hinted at are that the money received will be about one third of the total lost revenue.
The National League states that the lost revenue across all the clubs will be about 3 million a month and the funding hinted at is around 1 milion a month. So fingers crossed at what the funding ends up being.
Streaming as has been mentioned above will also certainly help.

Government got us into this; government must put it fully right. Anything less is a retreat from responsibility, financial and moral.

How much of the £8 goes to the Club and how much sticks to other fingers in the pie?

£8 is actually fairly high, so reckon the company doing the filming take 30% (like Apple!) - just a guess.
