The revenue from these adverts not only covered the production costs but has contributed significant sums which has allowed the Union to go beyond the mere running of leagues and cups by organising coaching courses, umpiring and scoring courses and, of course, introducing neutral umpires to the Union principally though the efforts, for a long time single-handedly, of Gus Thomson.
