paying opposing teams Gate fee's

Still not sure what you mean? Like they pay $500 to the county, or to the opposing school? The only way we @ Trenton pay anyone from the opposing team is if it is the playoffs or we have it in the contract to pay them from our home gate. We have paid people $1500 and fed them before but typically we keep the entire gate.

Yeah, we couldn't scehdule a lot of teams lately bc of that reason so we have to play basically all playoff teams for out of conference games, I was meaning if say Trenton got a team like Madison or suwanee or Gainesville or even Columbia to travel there would they probley pay more money then say a below .500 team?

Everyone trys to sign 2 year contracts Columbiafan which normally is a home and away contract. So you end up with 5 home games and 5 away. Some programs don't make any money hosting games so if they can travel and get a check it makes sense. Some programs make 5k or better for a home game so if you can pay someone $1500 and host you still make money. SO why would you travel if you can afford to play at home. We have paid several teams in the past few years for a few different reasons.

Teams often try to sign home and away games because they want to get the gate.

Some schools make enough money from home games that they are willing to pay people to come to their schools.

Some schools make very little money from homes games and are willing to travel if they receive a certain amount (usually has to cover the cost of travel and more than the gate they would have made from home). 

 

For Example:

Team A: Possible gate revenue per game of $2,000, Costs of $1,000 per game (referees, security, lights, rental/upkeep of field, gate keepers), a Profit of $1,000

Team B (home): Possible gate revenue per game of $10,000, Costs of $1,000 per game, Profit of $9,000

Team B (road): Possible gate revenue ($0), Possible Costs of $1000, Profit of $-1000

 

If Team A + B have a contract to play 2 games, as long as Team B pays Team A a $1000 more than than the travel costs, then Team A actually comes out ahead financially and Team B comes out ahead as well because instead of losing $1,000 to travel to Team A, they would game $9,000 minus travel and the $1,000.

 

As for who pays the most, Lakeland used to pay for many South Florida teams to come up several years ago if I remember correctly.

The following are a list of out of area games that Lakeland played two home games with back to back seasons. My assumption is that these schools are paid to go to Lakeland for the games, otherwise why give up the gate?

Exactly... event though two year home swaps are popular, there is never techically "suppose" to be .  The contract is what dictates the terms of the venue.  No one is forcing anyone to sign anything.

 

See Flanagan even played at Lakeland four years in a row - and not once at Flanagan:

    • Okay, how about that STA vs. Ida Baker matchup in your first round?  Does your analogy extend to South Florida slappies?  My opinion is simply that no one (except CoachGraham, apparently) would be interested in the 1 vs. 512, 2 vs. 511, and 200 other mismatches such a format would produce, regardless of geography.  But I could be wrong.  And now I'm thinking I should have skipped college.  
    • Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.     
    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh
