Many UK sports are suffering the effects of the credit crunch, with a recent survey revealing that up to 6,000 community sports clubs could close during the recession due to failing revenues. But help is now on its way from a brand new TV game, launching this autumn, which will bring much needed funding to sports clubs across the UK.
