Here's what my experience tells me. If you're operating in a club with a substantial debt load due to non-municipal fields or if you're operating in a club which is paying non-trivial field expenses to a municipality, then if you allocate that debt/expense on a per-player basis then select tends to subsidize recreation.

If your fields are "free" (i.e., your neighbors and you pay for them in property tax), then it depends entirely upon the fee structure of the club.
