The Football Supporters Association has produced a detailed briefing for clubs given the problems posed by Covid-19.
The notes were written before this afternoon's announcement of help for wages.
One point which might apply to Hereford:
A one off grant of £10,000 will be paid to businesses eligible for SBRR, namely those occupying a property with a rateable value of less than £15,000. For clubs with a rateable value below £12,000, SBRR is 100% and so such clubs will already be paying no business rates.Alternatively, a £25,000 grant will be paid to businesses occupying properties with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000.
It is emphasised that eligibility is defined by rateable value and not business rates paid (in 2019/20 at a multiplier of 49.1-50.4p). Clubs’ business rates demands will disclose their rateable value. Eligible clubs will be contacted by their local authority and so do not need to apply. Funding for the scheme will be provided to local authorities by government in early April. Guidance for local authorities on the scheme will be available shortly.
