thewellander Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 The worst part of this was my utter disappointment after getting very excited when I saw "NUFC Statement" as a link on the official site and then realizing it was not an announcement of the club being sold.

Guest fading star Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 any chance of changing the thread title as it's not absolutely sickening. Nobody is having a pop at the police for charging for their services. The club’s actions are stingy not sickening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I am actually shaking with rage having read that. This is the final straw for me. Considering our situation I can understand why the club would want to make no money on the event but have their costs covered. We've just been relegated and have a £65m wage bill over our heads and the club is dying on its arse while we have no manager and an owner who wants out. Fuking hell man, it's not that big a deal, were in crisis and THIS throws you over the edge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 why should the club have to put up policing costs, staff costs and stewarding for an event which they have organised is beyond me, 99.9% of other organisations would charge for this also using the milner transfer as an excuse as well, is just mad imo the club is in dire straights financially at the moment and also the cost's won't be as bad as since the charity is footing the bill, they get tax advantages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrovianmag Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 And of course the club will be profiting from all the food and drink sold on the day, not to mention whatever profit they made on the programmes. Bought one , £3 - said 50p was going to Robson's Charity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Absolutely everything should've gone towards the charity for this. Ashley should've paid for the Police, etc. It's the least he could do to prove he at least has a heart if not a head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 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. Paid for by loans jeopardising the club's future probably! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley should've paid for the Police, etc. It's the least he could do to prove he at least has a heart if not a head. So in the charitable spirit of things the police should have worked for free and passed the council tax costs onto you for that, and obviously you offered to be a steward and work for free likewise, and the catering staff worked for free and the electricity compancy gave free electricity for the lights and ..... Costs are just that and Charities can claim back VAT to reduce overheads for such events. No way should there be an expectation to give away things like this given the massive costs of running SJP for an event like this. Giving away a function suite for a day would be different. Would you be expecting us to do the same if ITV did that match thing again from which proceeds went to Charity. Clubs have to be consistent or they'd be expected to give away to everything that came their way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 If the costs are only to cover policing, stewarding etc then I don't see a massive problem. As long as they aren't taking any sort of profit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
