      The Sun launches Footie For All Fund to help protect kids’ clubs hit by the cost-of-living crisis

      by

      THE Sun is today launching a landmark Footie For All Fund to help protect kids’ clubs hit hard by the cost-of-living crisis.We have teamed up with Tesco’s Stronger Starts programme to hand out £150,000 worth of grants to grass roots youth football clubs struggling with funds.

      The cash can be used in any way that encourages more children to take up the sport or improves access to the game.
      Perhaps you are a local team that wants to offer parents help with membership fees.
      Maybe you need new kits or more pitch space to play on.
      Grants can also be used to help with transport or general running costs.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Earlier this year we launched our Footie For All campaign to shine a light on how financial struggles were forcing kids to give up football.
      Figures showed that 94 per cent of grass roots clubs were concerned about the impact soaring costs were having on their membership, according to charity Sported.
      In the wake of our probe we have been inundated with stories of local youth sides — who make a huge difference to their communities — struggling to cover their costs.
      Clubs across the country also told us how some kids are being forced to drop out altogether as families can not pay their membership subs or for kit and transport.
      Most read in Football
      So today we urge grass roots clubs to apply for one of our fantastic £1,000 Footie For All support grants.
      Launched in conjunction with Tesco’s Stronger Starts campaign — which funds healthy food and activities for children — we will dish out 150 grants in total to clubs across the country.
      Christine Heffernan, Tesco group communications director, said: “The Tesco Stronger Starts grant programme provides £5million of funding to get more children and their families access to healthy and nutritious food and physical activities.
      “We thought that The Footie For All programme would be a great extension to that to help kids to thrive.
      “Any child should be able to do physical activity they enjoy if they wish, taking away the worry about paying for subs or kit for example.”
      Our campaign is being backed by big names in the game.
      Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker said: “I think grass roots is vital.
      “That’s where everyone starts. Some of us finish at the top, some don’t, but we all enjoy it.”
      Sun columnist Harry Redknapp added: “Grass roots football is important, and we need to ensure there are facilities for kids.”
      Reality star Joey Essex is also keen to see kids keep playing.
      He said: “Football provides an escape for so many kids from whatever else is going on. The Sun is offering families a lifeline.”
      To apply for one of our grants, see tescostrongerstarts. org.uk/footiefund.
      Grants will be awarded by The Sun with charity Groundwork, which runs Tesco’s grant-giving programmes, on a rolling basis.
      Applications must be made by October 29.
      SOMERTON TOWN
      YOUTH football club Somerton Town, Somerset, kept its membership subs frozen for three years to help families cope through Covid and the cost-of-living crisis.
      But organisers had to raise them from £95 to £120 this season after rises of up to 30 per cent in costs.

      Since it was founded in 2001, Somerton have played a unique social role for its 187 players, across 11 teams.
      Chairman Justin Davies, 40, says: “We have a huge catchment area that contains areas with large-scale social and economic deprivation.
      “Playing football teaches young people about teamwork, respect and fair play.
      “Little things like shaking hands before and after a match to show respect to the other team is important.
      “When we put the prices up, 21 players left, with 20 not going on to join another club. It was a financial decision.”

      HACKNEY WICK FC
      AFTER leaving prison in 2019, Bobby Kasanga started Hackney Wick FC, in East London, to stop other children falling into a life of crime.
      It now has more than 180 children on its books and a waiting list of even more who want to be part of its teams.
      For many families, the club is a way to keep their children on the right path – and Bobby, 37, who spent eight years inside for armed robbery, never turns anyone away.
      He says: “We try to do as much as we can to alleviate financial stress and often let kids play without paying or offer discounts if a family has multiple kids with us.
      “We’ve seen it getting worse recently, but we know turning anyone away could see them get taken in by gangs.
      “If we can’t have them, the gangs certainly will.”
      To play a year at Hackney costs around £250.
      But Bobby and his team are writing off around £5,000 of unpaid subs because they know families can’t afford it.
      He says: “We rely on our sponsors and they’ve been amazing.
      Last year, one covered the cost of 20 kids for a year. But it’s hard to keep our heads above water.”
      The club’s relationships with local businesses provide more than just financial help.
      Bobby says: “We’ve had four of our players taken on by one of our sponsors.
      “It means they have a stable income and a potential career for life.
      “That’s so important for helping them stay out of danger.
      “But even if they end up going down a bad path, the club relationships across the whole of East London may help diffuse violent situations.
      “They may stop an attack because they know the other gang member from football.”
      Bobby adds: “I never want anyone to go through what I went through growing up.
      “We are a family and I won’t take football away from them over money.”
      BLACKBURN EAGLES
      LIKE other clubs, Blackburn Eagles have also seen more kids struggling to pay – but it never turns anyone away.
      The club, which is the biggest in its area with 650 players on its books, feels it is vital for all kids to have access to the beautiful game and tries to keep its fees low.

      In fact, the academy’s vice-chairman, Chris Hughes, 39, says prices have not been put up in around eight years.
      He adds: “We don’t turn anyone away.
      “We just take more children, create new groups, create new training sessions and create new teams.”
      But the club has recently had to take teams out of the Junior Premier League due to the cost of the four-hour round trips to play other teams across the North West.
      Chris says: “Football gives kids a good focus and can be a massive part of certain children’s lives.
      “It might be the one thing they’ll look forward to all week, and sometimes it gets them out of situations where maybe they don’t want to be at home all the time.”
      HOW TO APPLY
      WE want to hear the story of your club and the huge difference you are making to kids and your community.
      If you are a not-for-profit grassroots football club in England, Wales or Scotland working with youngsters under the age of 18 you could be eligible for one of our 150 grants.
      Funds can be used for anything that encourages more children to take part in the sport.
      Perhaps your club needs help with pitch fees or wants to sponsor funded places for children who can not afford membership.
      To apply and for full T&Cs, see tescostrongerstarts.org.uk/footiefund.

      EFL sides look at lunchtime kick-offs during the winter to save on energy bills with teams desperate to cut costs

      by

      EFL CHIEFS are considering the possibility of increasing the amount of lunchtime kick-offs to help lower-league clubs amid the cost of living crisis.A new survey from football reform group Fair Game has found that midday kick-offs for weekend league and FA Cup games would be considered by the majority of clubs in the EFL and the wider football pyramid as a way of cutting costs.
      Many clubs are considering lunchtime kick-offs in a bid to aid with the cost of living crisisCredit: Arron Gent/News Images
      Many believe that staging earlier games would help to reduce energy bills as the use of floodlights would not be necessary.
      Although the government has pledged to support businesses with rising energy costs, it is currently unclear whether or not this will benefit football clubs for a sufficient period of time.
      Overall, 63 per-cent of 40 clubs – including 12 EFL teams – have revealed that they will consider utilising earlier kick-offs if given permission.
      Clubs rated their concern about the cost of living crisis at seven out of 10, with League Two clubs considering it an eight out of 10.
      Read More on EFL
      This has prompted many to re-evaluate budgets for ground improvements as well as non-playing staff.
      Amid the financial crisis, Premier League clubs are currently preparing to hold further talks over a new financial distribution model to support the rest of the football pyramid.
      The plan is expected to include changes to parachute payments and a new merit-based payment system to Championship clubs.
      Changes to the domestic calendar from 2024 are also expected to be considered with many clubs pushing to axe FA Cup third and fourth round replays despite the fact that many lower-league clubs have benefitted from them over the years.

      HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL
      Fair Game chief executive Niall Couper has now demanded that action be taken to financially aid clubs in need.
      He said: “The results paint a very bleak future for football outside the top echelons of the game.
      “Having survived the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis could well be the death knell for the hard-working community clubs lower down the pyramid.
      “Lower-league football clubs are the heartbeat of their communities, but right now they are in intensive care.
      “The Premier League are at best going to offer a sticking plaster. They have had decades to address the problem and they should stand aside.
      “It is now up to the Government to intervene. The recent fan-led review set up by the Conservative Party revealed the financial flow within the game, and the governance that sits behind it, is broken.
      “Fair Game are calling for action now. We were promised levelling up, instead we could see the levelling of football stadia across the country with decades of history and tradition wiped off the map.
      “The Government needs to deliver on its promise of an independent regulator now. A regulator that can oversee football’s financial flow. Without it the pyramid of our national game will crumble.”
      Plans for an independent regulator for football have stalled following the appointment of new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
      But, clubs have been handed a boost as the government have proposed to cut energy bills for UK businesses by around half their expected level.

      The new scheme will fix gas and electricity prices for firms for six months from October 1, protecting businesses from rapidly rising costs.
      This would shield many clubs – especially non-league – from entering a cost crisis. More

      I used to work in a energy company call centre – now I’m fighting on the undercard of Joshua against Usyk live on Sky

      by

      BOSNIAN boxer Petar Nosic used to answer calls for an energy company – now he is fighting on Anthony Joshua’s undercard. The super-middleweight faces rising British star Ben Whittaker, who last year won Olympic silver.

      Nosic’s office for the night will be in the ring against Whittaker, before AJ headlines in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
      So it marks quite the journey from working in Ireland answering the phone at energy provider Green Star.
      Nosic, 23, began boxing only in 2015 and after six months he was already representing Bosnia.
      And it was in one European Championship bout that he actually boxed Whittaker, losing in the second round.

      Nosic told The42: “I had only been boxing for seven or eight months.
      “I wasn’t really ready for that level; not ready physically and even less ready mentally.
      “His team definitely know about that fight — but that was seven years ago, you know?
      “I was a beginner, then. Now, I’m obviously more prepared. I know what I’ve come here to do.

      “It’s actually a good thing but I think they’re definitely underestimating me.
      “See, I see this as an opportunity to show myself to the world, you know?”
      Nosic moved to Cork in 2018 and before looking for an amateur boxing club to train at, he needed to first find a job.
      He worked as a kitchen porter before switching to customer services for Green Star.
      Nosic boxed in Ireland for three years but moved back home during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.
      He has remained there ever since, turning professional in 2021 and since going 6-0.

      Whittaker, 25, plans to use Saturday night’s Sky Sports Box Office event to further announce his name to the boxing world.
      His promoters have high hopes and believe they have got the nation’s next star on their hands.
      But for Nosic, he plans to rip up the script and derail 1-0 Whittaker’s hype train before it has even left the station.
      He said: “I could never go in with the mentality just to stick around until you hear the last bell.
      “That’s not the way I think. That’s not the way I process things.
      “Every time I have ever been in the ring, I have gone in there to win. I go in there to try to finish the guy.
      Whatever happens happens — but I’m always confident in my preparations, I know what I have to do.
      “I’ve sacrificed the last, I don’t know, seven or eight years of my life training constantly to get an opportunity like this.

      “I’ve never had a training camp in my life: my whole career is training camp. Even when I’m on holiday, I train.
      “So, that’s where the confidence comes from and I need to have that mentality.
      “I can’t go into a fight just to put up a good fight, you know? I fight to win.”

      Ex-England star David James fronts campaign to reduce power usage in non-league football as income plummets due to Covid

      by

      EX-ENGLAND goalkeeper David James is hoping to prevent grassroots clubs scoring an energy own goal – by fronting a campaign to reduce their power usage.
      After watching their incomes plummet by an average of 46 per cent, small clubs up and down the country are attempting to cut costs.

      David James has gone from saving shots to saving money as he fronts a campaign to reduce energy billsCredit: Getty – Pool

      But for some it’s too late as a ‘State of Play’ report polling 61 grassroots club secretaries has found one in ten clubs – more than 4,000 in total – fear they will not be able to survive the Covid-19 pandemic.
      A list has been created detailing how players can save energy, in the home or the clubhouse, and what those savings equate to in terms of new equipment such as bibs, footballs, and cones, through to team strips and new goalposts.
      Some of the tips include unplugging games consoles and phone chargers when they’re not in use which would save £30 annually per player.
      This could buy a club the equivalent of 12 corner flags and poles.

      Similarly, turning heating down by a single degree can save a team of 11 players £880 – enough for a full kit, training tops, balls, trophies and a first aid bag.
      The year-long ‘Switch Before Pitch’ campaign, funded and created by pay-as-you-go energy provider Utilita, has James’ endorsement as a passionate environmentalist, having converted every aspect of his life to be as green as possible.
      He said: “Grassroots football has always been such an important element of every local community, and everything that can be done to support their existence right now is vital.
      “This campaign will help clubs focus on saving and raising money, but most importantly, it will educate everyone it reaches about the simple ways we can all use less energy wherever we are, which will impact our pockets, and most importantly, our planet.

      Poor or missing equipment can mean the difference between a game being played or not at grassroots level… affording everything a team needs is crucial.
      David James

      “Using tangible examples of what saving energy can buy, such as bibs, or a pair of new goals is smart – poor or missing equipment can mean the difference between a game being played or not at grassroots level, so affording everything a team needs is crucial.”
      The campaign comes after research of 1,000 parents with children in grassroots football teams found three in ten have never missed watching a game, home or away.
      Apart from attending matches, 42 per cent of mums and dads have taken on other roles to help their child’s team – including helping in the clubhouse, washing kit, coaching and raising funds.
      But one in five parents felt their child struggled without weekly games during the Covid-19 pandemic, leaving half fearing for the future of their local clubs.
      As a result, more than four in ten have raised money or donated directly to help keep their local clubs afloat so their children will have somewhere to play.
      However, it also emerged just under half of the parents polled via OnePoll struggle to get their youngsters away from their games console, in order to play a physical match.
      As part of the Switch Before Pitch campaign, grassroots football clubs will be invited to share their fundraising efforts and ideas on social media using the hashtag #switchbeforepitch.
      They will then be entered into a club league table to win football-related prizes.

      TOP TIPS FOR GRASSROOTS PLAYERS TO SAVE ENERGY – AND MONEY

      Save energy by switching the heating down by one degree- saves 11 people (equivalent of one team) £880 per year- buys the equivalent of team football strip (£250), two goals (£250), team training tops (£180), ten training footballs (£80), first aid bag (£25), team trophies (£95)
      Save energy by unplugging games consoles and chargers when not in use- saves 11 people £330 per year- buys the equivalent of two portable goals (£264), 12 corner flags and poles (£66)
      Save energy by switching other electricals off at the plug – not leaving on standby- saves 11 people £330 per year- buys four training rebounders (£300), one handheld rebounder (£30)
      Save energy by turning off lights when leaving bedrooms and changing rooms- saves 11 people £154 per year- buys 15 cones (£54), 30 hurdles (£140)

      Bill Bullen, conservationist and CEO of Utilita Energy said of the link between energy and grassroots clubs: “Taking into account that many clubs were finding it tough to survive before Covid-19, our report provides a snapshot of how this latest storm has created a near-impossible challenge for too many clubs.
      “All individuals and communities are experiencing the impact of Covid-19 – as an energy company that uses technology to help households take control of their energy usage, we are seeing the struggles first-hand and doing everything in our power to help.
      “So, it’s really important to save money where we can.
      “The cheapest, and greenest, energy is the energy we don’t use, and we hope the Switch Before Pitch campaign enables today’s households, and bill payers of the future – to save money by using and wasting less energy.
      “This will free up finances for the things that people love most – in this case, football.”
