Cardiff Devils are offered £200k in a grant from Sports Wales to help with income loss from last season. Big help for the club.

Don’t think so, apparently we are having 4 x1st team liners., with Joey Martin and Joey Haddad on the checking line.

Only Elite then, not any other Welsh side like the juniors?
Not been following all this but did Cardiff lose money? Perhaps this is why they are so successful (tongue in cheek)....

It’s all nonsense really Spik,the EIHL teams wouldnt really lose money when they’re not playing,because they hardly have any costs if they’re not playing and thus paying arena rent,equipment,travel or player costs,etc. The biggest cost they’d still have whilst not playing would be any office staff and they’d all probably be furloughed anyway. |

£200k is no small change to any hockey clubs, this grant was purely to help with the income lost during season 19/20, and the Devils were very pleased with it thank you. And here’s one for you Spik if the £7 million to English clubs had gone ahead would it have been shared with all the English junior teams, of course it would BLACK / SMITH would have been the first with the handouts. The Welsh grant was unexpected but will obviously be a big help.

£7m? Thankfully we'll never know as it's looks unlikely teams in the EIHL will see anywhere near that

The Welsh grant was unexpected but will obviously be a big help. Got some dodgy numbers there (or a typo) There was £4m offered in grants and loans for the English EIHL teams and £1.2m for the NIHL (not sure on the terms for them). As it stands I don't think English EIHL teams will get a penny as I don't think there will be a season until at least September. |

Yes mate sorry about that £4 million it was, as you say it won’t happen now anyway and really was never going to happen. The devils offer however is a good one and will help towards the lost income.Stay Safe.

It's funny though, I reckon the story will go from English teams getting way too much, to getting none at all in the next few days. |

They’ve got no players to pay,no rink costs,no equipment to buy,housing,travel etc to cover for and one assumes the couple of office staff are on furlough. So what’s the £200k for ? |

They’ve got no players to pay,no rink costs,no equipment to buy,housing,travel etc to cover for and one assumes the couple of office staff are on furlough. So what’s the £200k for ? I'd guess all the clubs lost revenue for home games at the end if last season. Plus the league lost playoff revenue too. Thing for me is that a place a lot of any rescue money needs to go to is rinks/arenas. Cardiff's nice new rink won't be at risk, but older rinks or those that make less money overall could be at risk. Bracknell has gone and others are at risk. Grants to clubs that aren't playing won't help venues that still have large outgoings. |
