The BDF and Trust has ALWAYS given the money from the programmes back to the club. We just help out selling them and will continue to do so.Holkerbird wrote:I think the reason is the BDF always gave the money made from the programme and raffle sales back to the club in various ways whereas the Trust is holding the money to be used for the benefit of the members--at least I think that's how the Trust is working. Is it to be used to purchase the club back if PC walks away?

Add to that taking the half time raffle on match days off the trust (yes that still annoys me) so the hospice can have it, we should have just let them be sponsors for free, let them have their awareness days at matches and do grand draws every so often to raise money. I know I sound like I'm anti hospice, I really am not its a great charity which I always support, but it just looks to me like the club are doing things to justify the sponsorship.walney rock wrote:Should have just given the hospice shirt sponsorship for free, and then maybe we wouldn't be in the situation of trying to pay for people to go to events which is pretty poor as it makes us look like we ain't bothered in what should be a great event

Thanks for pointing that out Nigel. Sad to say that's a group of 10 who won't now be going as planned.Nigel Bamford wrote:Not a rumour, they are.
