tbh, i wouldn't worry about it unless it does come down to the fact that the other team doesn't have access to a server, which is unlikely. Also it's not as though when match day comes, thats it's you got 15mins to find a server. Nope. You'll schedule the match with the other team days before the match, and during the time you schedule it, you can also sort out the server. eg, do they have one, and if not, can you find someone who does and pre-book it for use on the day you play. As an extreme last resort. Get everyone to signup to TF Lobby, and make a lobby, getting all your players in their and the other team, kicking any randoms who join, and click start when everyone ready's up. It'll give you a server to play on. granted it does it one map at a time, but for the second map you just restart the lobby. If anything like golden cap comes into it, just do nother lobby just for that and keep an eye on the time limit :D

[...] Then how about fixing the server I paid for 3 days ago?

I have servers. :P Seriously though, I mean this as a general rule to all teams, but if you're planning to play more than a ladder game once in a blue moon, you should really have your own server. Pretty much every standard 6v6 team in TF2 has their own server, Its not really fair for ETF2L to bend over backwards to help out people who aren't really even that interested in playing.

[...] No I totally understand this, but there's 9 people in your team? A server by my pricing is £14.40/month for a highlander server, and similar-ish for other GSP's. So you only need each person in your team to donate £1.60/month each, and you have a server. If you seriously cannot afford £1.60/month, then I have no idea what on earth you are doing with a PC capable of running TF2. Don't take this offensively, I'm just posting how I feel about the matter. Servers run on serious hardware sitting in datacentres, I know its really intangible but this stuff costs serious money.
