I still don't see the problem.

The club are tacking £1 onto the admission price for non-pass holders and donating that to charity. If you're not a pass holder and want to go to the game you don't have a choice whether to give £1 to charity or not, so what?
More money will be raised this way than a bucket collection, good on them I say.

The club didn't mention how the money was raised in the press release. Again so what? I really don't see how that article reads as if the club are trying to take the 'credit' away from the fans.

There are a damnsight more important things to worry about in this world.

Wouldnt it be Ironic if a bucket collection from 25000 people, who put in what they want ended up more than the £15000 they are saying.
Lets face it who looks away when a bucket is shaken under their nose

By lumping the extra pound in with the ticket price wont the club end up having to pay 15% VAT on every pound 'donated'

dont think so, in fact wont they gift aid it ?

I don't think charitable donations are taxable.

how can they? doesn't every person buying a ticket have to fill out a form confirming they pay tax to do that?

Easily done with a phone book and a few biros

why don't we just start another topic so we can all start moaning about that one instead? (or as well)

They are taxed whe they go through the tills at work ....


*waits for someone to blame FC for that too.
