RE: Sorry, but there are much more deserving Clubs and causes. Couldn't agree more, Tina. Makes you sick, doesn't it?
That's really riled Mrs Burgundy Red She's hammering out a missive to the BBC right now! I'll try and talk her into posting it on here when she's done.
RE: Sorry, but there are much more deserving Clubs and causes. Hi Cazi,</p> nails - a biting today eh?</p> The above is totally disgusting, as if the Glazers and Man Utd couldn't afford to fund their own stress reduction courses.</p> Clubs in the lower divisions, fighting for every penny, with shredded nerves are far more deserving.</p> Sometimes football makes me sick it is so biased and one sided for the richer clubs and the premier league.</p> I shall be dying a slow death with nerves today but will come alive with a result.</p> YooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooREDS!</p>
RE: That's really riled Mrs Burgundy Red Get her to post Neil.</p> Bloody disgusting if you ask me.</p>
Post to the BBC (before condensing) 1) "We cannot and should not discriminate against a firm based on whether it is perceived to be a wealthy organisation." Why not? 2) As a former yoga teacher I cannot understand why £30k would be necessary to set up this type of opportunity for staff. The organisation must have gym facilities - a suitable environment is about the only factor that is required (save the teacher - and we're not expensive!). Mats are desirable, most sports facilities have these and otherwise a blanket or towel will suffice to get started. People who earn a salary can no doubt afford to buy one, they're not expensive. As for walking, well … Has this story been presented in an inflammatory way to get people like me riled, or is this really the whole truth?
RE: Sorry, but there are much more deserving Clubs and causes. I couldn't agree more Tina. £30000 to a wealth American Club when youngsters in Wombwell have to travel to Cudworth or Vida to play on an all-weather playing surface. At the Roy Kilner Road ground we don't even have decent changing rooms. The surrounding fence to keep dogs out of the ground has been removed. It's no fun clearing a pitch of dog before you can play a match. The whole thing stinks.
There's a new lottery out on Mondays. All of the money left after costs and pay-outs goes to charity and you get to pick which one from a choice each week. Maximum prize at the moment is only £1m but you stand a much better chance of winning.
Absolute disgrace. The Lottery is being exploited by those with money and connections, while the worthy causes are losing out. Still, if I win a few million all complaints will cease.
Thing is the rich can afford to employ the wizz kids that can exploit the lottery paperwork systems and so have a better chance at winning a slice. Its time that the lottery boards had an investigative team that actually looked into the schemes and the claimants over a period on the ground so to speak and not just rely on well completed documentation.......... IT STINKS...
