I heard (but can't verify) that Ide Hill have stumped up £30,000 to play at TA's ground for three years. If that's true, I can't see how that's sustainable unless they've got a deep pocketed backer - but even then, they're unlikely to attract anything other than tiny crowds.
That's surprisingly cheap against the market rate. I wouldn't be surprised if the figure is higher or if they have to pay extra if they move to a bigger league, host cup games etc.
Unfortunately the.cost of getting a ground up to step six from next to nothing, assuming planning permission is even possible, is horrendous. Steps five and six are increasingly filling with the sort of zombie clubs not teams the FA are acting against in women s football. It's a problem waiting to happen.
Hopefully they have a long term plan, out this way Badshot Lea grounds shared for years but now play step four in their own ground. That's unusual though.
