County Cricket Clubs To Lose Good Source Of Revenue.
Some of the English county cricket clubs who benefit financially from football Chief Constables, acting competitions have recently suffered an exasperating blow. on higher advice have warned the supporters' clubs who operate the competitions that they must keep strictly within the Betting and Lotteries Act,
I am not a lawyer but apparently it means the competitions will in future have to be registered and be subject to tax. A large slice of the profits will go to the atate.
