“If we take any notice of what the Minister of Finance tells us, by the end of the season there will not be any money left to pay to see football,” remarked Mr Sproule at the annual meeting of the Wellington Rugby Union when the question was raised whether a “gate” for injured playera would be better at the beginning of the season than at the end of the season. This prompted another delegate to suggest that a reduction be made in the price of admission to football matches in the coming season. “You might get more people interested and more attending the matches if you drop the prices to 9d for men and 6d for ladies,” the delegate added in making this a recommendation to the incoming management committee.
