Thanks, on the money thing I am not saying the clubs are getting rich on this, is more of a comment on the general cost and from what I have heard the overall, as in cost to parents, numbers for ECNL are higher than what was there before. Of course we have such a short time and small sample to compare it to that I think it may take a few years for the cost thing to bear out what the actual costs are on average. I think some of the club bashing that goes on about cost is silly, do not like the cost; go somewhere else; or get involved and change things.

I HATE(not sure if that is a strong enough word!) not seeing my girl play and avoid it whenever possible, but I guess it is about them and not our need to see them . Maybe some of the numbers I have heard included parents cost to not miss events, since before they would have gone to most events.
