[Cricket] Sussex CCC

[Lenny Rider]

The club have publicly said over the years how tough it is to survive financially each season, will the club be able to survive a totally blank 2020 if it comes to it?

Not just them, what about some of the other Counties?

Hopefully they still get the Hundred bung and can live off that for a while

I've edited the thread title to add in the missing 'C', and changed the 'Albion' thread prefix, to 'Cricket'.

Don't be getting SLOPPY in these unusual times. Standards people. Standards.

Apologies old boy, I did it in my coffee break.

Isn't the redevelopment going to keep them afloat for a few years?

I believe the ECB has a net worth of about £60 million pounds, it will need to spread some of that around.

The ICC must be worth multi millions as is the Indian Cricket Board.

If it goes ahead after all this finishes?

True, at least the have some commercial income for the offices at the moment but not enough to cover costs I'd guess?

You mean the BCCI

Good question from OP.

I guess some of their situation is the same as a normal business that struggles from year to year (i.e. very precarious) but then part of it is also very different in that they can expect to be supported by the ECB who are quite well off.

Some SCCC staff are already being furloughed which is fair enough if there isn't any work for them to do.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

ECB has furloughed staff too, so I’ve heard.

All the Counties are going to have a big struggle if the season isn't played. As much as I'm a four day fan the Counties are going to be desperate to get both the 100 and T20 played.
It's not just Sussex think of the revenue lost at the Test grounds and not just the Test matches but the full houses at places like Lords, The Oval, Headingley, ect for T20 nights, sell outs and vast booze and food sales. These Counties pay big wages to do called super stars of the game are they going to take salary cuts?
The ECB are going to have to dog deep not just to aid the Counties but also players on central contracts.
Big decisions to be made by Counties, Country and ECB.

Teletext this morning saying the ECB has pledged £60 million to Counties and Clubs, £40 million to the Counties with £20 million to grassroot clubs in interest free loans.
Central Contract Players will not be asked to take a pay cut.
From that I should imagine the ECB has a lot more than £60 million in the bank.
