How many people does the Pro League employs?
« on: May 01, 2014, 08:23:21 AM »
How many people does the Pro League employ with a 9 team league, from A to Z?

I cant understand how the government is not involved?

They are keeping people off the streets and employed.

Why is our current and past government always fighting down sports in T&T?

On de flip side, how come Cricket is better run and more supported by eveyone?

If we change the people incharge of football will they be supported?

I'd guess that around 300-350 people are in full time employment directly within the Pro League. But there are also stadium security, stadium staff, printers, webmasters, gate people, concession workers, DJs, announcers, medical staff, match commissioners, match officials, maxi & taxi drivers, photographers, journalists, TV crews, sportswear suppliers, local shops who all owe at least part of their income to Pro League.

Then there are around 900 youth players who are kept off the streets by Pro League clubs as well as the youngsters who attend coaching schools and the girls who play in Pro League clubs womens teams.

By the way, national and WI cricket is better supported, but league cricket (which we're comparing the Pro League to) is very poorly supported.

So about roughly 1400 people are employed or get work because of the league, well thats a dam shame they dont get better government support.

Then again, we have one owner since de league started, maybe thats why?
