Funny I were going to mention something about this but does anyone else feel like they are getting mugged every week when you walk through the turnstiles and there is about 5 people stood there with buckets asking for donations? Now im all for giving to charity but I think its wrong how the club will let them do this while collections for the club are pushed away in a corner somewhere.
I am inclined to agree, I am a sucker for people rattling their tins. I always say if they are prepared to stand out all day for their charities then £1 to each one is ok by me.
However when I attend a Fax game I want my money to go to the club.
Richards smiling face and a losing Fax Flier, a £1 into both Supporters Trust buckets, a Bovril and a bag of chips and then my Sunday allowance is spent.
The problem is, if the club refused to let charities in it could result in negative publicity.
I suppose the answer is, flip yer quid whichever way you want.
A collection for Miles would be ok, but in my humble opinion, a gift or a keep sake from the supporters not a couple of hundred pounds.
Simply my opinion.
