Interesting discussion between the blogger and Mangan, for sure. I sit on a committee that funds grassroots sport orgs/innitiatives and I have to apply for many grants throughout the year myself, so I can totally see where both sides are coming from. I have learned, though, that the funding org usually will fund up to something like 50% of the total project cost, which is probably why Metric and the Trews get the money they get - they have more to contribute. Its likely not as much a conspiracy as the one guy seems to suggest.
