We've no chance of getting ?2000 a game -

The waiting list is around 500 and of those who will fork out ?200 for it in these troubled times?

If they fill all the slots in a season, plus one home cup match that will be 240 kids, but I just can't see 50% of the kids on the free list taking the up offer.

A few of the places will end up with the match sponsors and freebies, and they'll be short of kids after a few matches.

If they make ?15,000 a year out of it they'll be doing well, plus there's all the give aways that come with the package that needs to be taken off the profit.

Sounds like a poorly though out idea by an NCFC employee who has been told to make some cash sharpish by the new CEO.
