WQ.46/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 13th FEBRUARY 2023
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2023
Question
Will the Minister detail the current level of Government funding for the Jersey Football Association (JFA) and advise what, if any, charges the JFA incur when using Government owned facilities?
Answer
The Jersey Football Association (JFA) does not receive any repeat or annualised grant funding directly from Government but has received targeted funding for training and safeguarding in recent years. The JFA receives annual grant funding through Jersey Sport for community football coaches and is also eligible to apply for travel grants through the annual application process.
The JFA utilises a number of football pitches at various Government run locations (including amongst others; Oakfield, Les Quennevais, FB Fields, Springfield) to deliver its development programmes, holiday courses and league fixtures. The JFA is charged accordingly for this.
The Commercial rate per hour for example to hire Springfield’s 3G pitch is £93.30. The JFA and its affiliated clubs pay a “club rate” of £82.00 per hour. If bookings involve juniors (i.e. those under 18), then the rate is halved.
The JFA also leases office space on the 2nd floor at Springfield Stadium for which it is also charged.
