I don't mean to be the pessimist, and I am not actually complaining, but considering the "streamlining" of regionals, as someone put it above, its more likely to believe that this increase is just to
maintain the level then to raise it. Wether it be inflation or greater overheads due to a greater number of teams, costs are definitley rising.
