Cost of testing. : Sat May 09, 2020 8:13 pm
I have been listening to bb C news channel, sport questions, tonight answering questions were Football experts. The question of who pays for covid19 testing Was asked. To my surprise the club has to pay for each test which they checked on + the cost is £ 180.0 !let test.
Each player & staff has to have two per week + all staff & officials, what ever the size of the club. Now then, premier football clubs it's peanuts, but rugby clubs it can be sizeable with training etc & match days, Grin has a 100 employees, so take half, say 50 + officials, do the maths, 9 to 11k minimum depending upon test numbers etc
That is per week @ 1 match & no paying supporters, OMG, where are we all going as a sport ???
