Match Day Costs

[tor]

I was talking with a couple of people during the week about how much it costs to put on a Northern League game.  I'm assuming the costs may be different between the two divisions.  What do clubs actually pay for and how much are these costs, other than players money which will differ from club to club.  We came up with the following, but have no ideas of costs.

Match officials.

Hospitality.

Insurance.

Programme, (though there will be a return on this - hopefully a profit)

Floodlights.  (different at different times of the season)

Anything else?  Thinking was are all clubs actually able to cover the costs?

Thanks in advance.

Pitch maintenance has to be factored in especially if you've got a plastic one. The costs of that are not a one off and a sensible club will be putting money aside on a match to match basis for repair/renewal
