Cash-strapped Boulevard Community Club has vowed to meet all of their “financial responsibilities”.Last week Bermuda Athletic Association (BAA) president John Doran confirmed that First Division Blazers had their privilege of playing their home matches at Goose Gosling Field suspended after falling in arrears in their payments for use of the synthetic pitch.“The idea is that they pay on the day of the game and they haven’t done that in the last two or three games so we’ve said guys ‘that’s it ... either you pay or you can’t play’,” he told The Royal Gazette. “All we’ve said is if you pay us what you owe us the games go ahead.”In response, Boulevard acknowledged that the club is currently experiencing financial challenges which have made it all the more difficult for them to keep up with the $400 per game fee for use of BAA’s pitch.“These have been very trying times for the club both emotionally and financially, “ Boulevard president Lou Matthews said in a written statement. “This is a reality that is new for us and every community club in the island.“It should be noted that we have been utilising the field and the gate and for the past several weeks we have been giving BAA 100 percent of the gate revenues. This has still not been enough to cover the $400 per game fees the Bermuda Athletic Association charges. We shared this with the club management as it is our goal to meet all of our financial responsibilities.“These are tough economic times for all in football and especially for small community clubs like ours. We have enjoyed a mutually beneficial partnership with BAA to which the club has benefitted from several years of revenue through field rental from our club as well as club service to our game patrons in the Premier Division.“I am thankful for the relationship we have cultivated with the BAA. We would also like to thank our neighbourhood partners, the North Village Recreation Club (North Village Community Club) for allowing us to utilise their field in the meantime.”Matthews stressed that his club “will do whatever it takes” to keep the organisation relevant to its mission of reaching out to the central community through football and to foster relationships with the club’s community partners that see development as a process.BAA president Doran said his club has been trying its best to help Blazers meet their financial obligation.“We are trying to help as much as we can by giving them (Boulevard) the gate and stuff like that,” he said. “I know it’s difficult for them in the sense they are no longer playing Premier Division (football) and probably are not getting large crowds.“We are trying to be fair and have been lenient but we can’t continue being lenient because we’ve got our bills to pay too.”
