James Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 NUFC have made Sir Bobby Robson pay the bill for tomorrows game. NUFC have released a statement making excuses for this. http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1733386,00.html I haven't seen anything in the press about this so it looks like they are trying to pre-empt a Sunday scoop.

Guest toonlass Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I saw this earlier and thought it was not good like. But you can't expect Mike Ashley to donate the Stewarding and Policing for the match can you Its a load of bollox to be fair, shame that Ashley has to get his cut.

Guest toonlass Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Bugger it, I am going to chuck a tenna into any collecting tin for Bobby's fund tomorrow to ensure that the charity gets it and Ashley doesn't get his hands on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaA2 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Not happy about this but I guess the club need every penny at the moment. They're still paying off Michael Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I hate the man, but Freddy Shepherd would have given it for free, thrown a couple of grand in, and got the money back through goodwill and pie sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 An agreement was reached between the three parties that, following the event, Newcastle United would be reimbursed in relation to the costs it incurs in staging the game i.e. Police, ambulance, stewards etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it is Bobby Robson's charity missing out on money they would have otherwise received, and therefore it is reasonable to perceive it as Robson footing the bill.

Dave Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ridiculous thread title, they're not making him pay it personally ffs. But yeah, it's a bit naff that the club aren't willing to put this on as a goodwill gesture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Bobby has also kindly agreed to make a donation to the Newcastle United Foundation from the proceeds of Sunday's game. Think that is the quote that he was looking to post. I presume the Newcastle United Foundation means Mike Ashleys pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statement itself suggests that it is Sir Bobby, by extension, whom is footing the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
