"We are waiting to receive the agreement on the amount that will finally be paid to us," the president of HC La Chaux-de-Fonds Olivier Calame tells Arcinfo. The club hopes to receive CHF 400,000, which amounts to two-thirds of the estimated loss of ticketing revenue.
When exactly the sum will be paid out is not yet clear, but the Swiss League team hopes to receive the federal subsidies at the end of August. HC La Chaux-de-Fonds announced a loss of CHF 470,000 for the 2020-21 season. Those CHF 400,000 would thus help to cut down the deficit amassed by the club.
