Match fees and pitch hire, sorted
Several teams, an expensive astro booking, and a match fee to collect from everyone who turns up. Take it at the point of booking instead of chasing it afterwards.
The pitch is booked whether or not everyone pays
Hockey has a specific financial problem: the astro is booked and paid for in advance, at a real cost, and the match fees that cover it arrive afterwards from whoever remembers. A club running four or five teams is carrying that gap every week.
ClubPal closes it by taking the money at the point of booking. A player books into the match, pays the fee in the same action, and the club knows both the numbers and the income before the whistle. Where a squad prefers to pay up front, sell a block of matches as a pass and take the season fee in one go.
Around that, teams run as sessions with their own capacity and register, membership renews across senior, junior, student, and social categories, and pitch time you let out to other clubs is bookable and payable in the same system.
Every card payment carries a fixed component and a percentage. On small match fees the fixed part dominates, so a platform charging 35p per transaction costs more than one charging 20p even on a lower percentage.
A club taking twenty match fees per player across a season pays noticeably less than through a per-member subscription platform, and nothing in a month when no money moves.
