Compare apples with apples and tell me that the government spend on Tennis is the same as Chess for up and coming juniors is the same and you have a point. The reality is more like the total government contribution to Chess Scotland will be about the same as the spend for one rising tennis star, or are you arguing that it is right that parents have to spend a fortune every time their child is selected?
