The incident in the Dressing Room on Saturday last
when the players expressed their refusal to take the
field unless they received training expenses in respect
of the practice game of August 28th was discussed.
The Secretary having pointed out that the usual
Tuesday evening training on August 29th was not
held owing to the practice game of the 28th and that
he had paid to the players in respect of such evening
practice match 2/6 for tea money and had substituted
that game for the usual Tuesday training for the
purpose of training expenses and that therefore the
players had been paid for 12 training nights including
August 28th, and 5/- match expenses for August 19th
and 2/6 for August 28th. The Directors decided that
these payments could not be exceeded.
The Secretary reported that the League Management
Committee had declined to consider the applications
by the players of Everton and Liverpool for a weekly
wage intimating that it was a matter for the Football
Association. It was resolved that the applications
made to the League be repeated to the Football Association.
The next meeting was fixed for Tuesday next at 7.15 pm.
at Goodison Park.
