I disagree with Jono that 20 Euros a player is too much.
I wrote a long piece in the context of the messenger scene about sponsorship etc, which is here:

but the short version of it in the context of polo is that there is often a way to do it without selling your soul, but sponsorship is sponsorship, however you chop it up.
On the other hand, if the entry fee is a serious barrier for the Eastern Europeans, then I would happily pay a little bit more so that they can pay a little less. But I really don't think that 20 Euros, or less than we spend of an evening in the Orwell on beer & pizza, is too much.
