Sound familiar?
Subs sit in cheques and standing orders your treasurer can't reconcile
April arrives. 60% of members pay subs by standing order under references you can't decode. The rest promise at the first net. By July, subs income is a mystery and the treasurer's weekends are spent matching bank lines to surnames.
Match fees and teas collection is chaos
Match fees due at the ground. Half the players forget cash, someone always pays for two, the visiting captain leaves before settling up, and teas go on someone's personal card. By season end, the bar tab is a pile of IOUs.
Fixtures, Play-Cricket, and selection live in four tools
Fixtures in a pinned WhatsApp message. Play-Cricket holds league data but nothing else. Selection in the skipper's head. Availability in a Google Form that half the squad ignores. Every Tuesday is the same scramble.
How TidyHQ fixes it.
Subs via Direct Debit (GoCardless) or card
Members pay season subs online. GoCardless for Direct Debit (lowest-cost for recurring subs at 1% + 20p). Stripe for card. Bank reference matching stops being the treasurer's Saturday job. Late payers get automated reminders.
Match fees and teas collected cleanly
Post-match email link lets players pay match fees in two taps. Tea contributions collected the same way. No cash, no IOUs, no visiting captain scarpering before settling up.
Availability, selection, and fixtures
Players mark availability for each fixture. Skippers select from a live availability list. Fixtures published. Play-Cricket data moves via export where needed, but the week-to-week admin lives in one place.
CASC-ready participation records
Training, net sessions, and match attendance captured automatically. The 50% participation evidence HMRC requires for CASC exports in minutes instead of being a year-end reconstruction project.
Questions people ask.
Does TidyHQ work for ECB-affiliated cricket clubs?+
Yes. TidyHQ handles the club-side operations — subs, match fees, teas, bar, fixtures, and CASC compliance — that Play-Cricket doesn't cover. Most UK cricket clubs use TidyHQ alongside Play-Cricket: TidyHQ runs the money and membership, Play-Cricket runs the league tables.
Can cricket clubs collect season subs via Direct Debit?+
Yes. GoCardless (Direct Debit) is the lowest-cost option for recurring subs at 1% + 20p per transaction. Stripe handles card payments for members who prefer that. Bank reference reconciliation stops being a weekend job.
How are match fees handled?+
Match fees are collected via a post-match email link — players pay on their phone in two taps. Captains mark who played; the system generates fee requests. No cash, no forgotten contributions, no visiting captains leaving before settling up.
Does TidyHQ integrate with Play-Cricket?+
Not directly. Play-Cricket is a closed ECB system for league admin, match results, and national programmes. Most UK cricket clubs use TidyHQ for subs, finances, and governance — and Play-Cricket for match results and league tables. Member data moves via CSV export/import where needed.
Can we handle teas, bar tabs, and social events?+
Yes. TidyHQ's shop module handles teas orders, bar tabs, presentation evening tickets, and tour deposits. All income is categorized separately for clean CASC reporting and Trustees' Annual Report data.
How much does TidyHQ cost for a UK cricket club?+
Free for clubs under 20 contacts. Pro is £37 GBP/month (billed annually) for larger clubs, with a 1% + 10p GBP service fee on transactions plus processing fees. No per-player pricing, no per-match charges.
