Well if your figures are correct then obviously there are 3 months of the year that you'll not be spending £71 of that monthly outlay and Trust membership is £10 a year not a month which takes another £10 off nearly every month. Plus you don't need to be putting in as much as £40 a month.rncfc wrote:I'm not convinced that greater transparency will improve the figures anywhere near enough.

I give £30 a month via this scheme, which is £360 a year by Direct Debit. To achieve the £30,000 figure there are 82 other people also giving £30 a month.
Now obviously not everybody will be giving £30 a month, some will give more and some less.
If an average of £10 a month were giving there would be 250 people currently in the B & R scheme, £20 means 166 people are contributing, £40 and we're down to 63 people, £50 would be 50 people.
It's a simple calculation. Under the current model County can only really survive (or grow) if supporters accept that they need to be putting something into the pot throughout the year. I accept that many wont until they see greater transparency about where monies are going and many can't financially take on such an obligation, but many more could and perhaps should be making some contribution to keeping County going.
Home tickets each month = £50 (assuming no kids)
Home programmes = £6
Trust membership / R&B scheme = £40
Food / drinks each month = £15
TOTAL MONTHLY COST for an average adult = £111
Sorry, but that's ridiculous and is never going to be achieved in a million years in this area.
But to put your figures into context I work with someone whose monthly Sky subscription is £120...
