Hence the reason, if you're gonna claim to care - which clearly some don't - then just make a small donation and give over with all the making out like you care.
Agree with Cheshire Tiger that some on ere maybe need to think of others, but can't agree with him that making a donation is different from a fundraiser. Nobody's forced to donate money or turn up at a fundraiser.
What a sorry lot. I only hope you're never in the same boat - no pun intended (honest!)

What I mean is people cant be bothered to turn up for Challenge cup games so they are hardly going to turn up in their droves for a charity game

Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

| Great idea but I honestly just don't think it would be well attended!

| No reason at all why it wouldn't be well-attended. Call it RL Aid and let's do our bit.

Now I know thousands were killed in the tsunamis but the Cumbrian towns have been decimated by the floods and PC Baxter lost his life.
Would it be appropriate to have a Cumbria Select v Super League Cumbrians or Super League XIII game to support any relief fund?
Sometime over Xmas?
Cumbria is our community and they often feel forgetten. I cant think of a better time to remind them they are not?
Opinions?'"
Did they have a relief fund for the Hull population in 2007 ???

Maybe your idea of well-attended is different to mine. Do you really think they could get a good 10,000 on?

Depends on the situation, but why not? We're not talking about some Super League box ticking exercise, expansion argument or any other of the tripe that's on here, but instead doing our bit to help out our own and actually show some of this 'RL community' spirit that people are so often keen to point out.

Small minded f**k. It's up to the individual as to whether they're d to do something for someone else, but if others in Hull share your attitude (which I'm sure they don't on the whole) maybe that had something to do with why nobody gave a to$$ back then.
Sorry, but what's Hull 2007 got to do with what's happening now? Had there been an Earthquake, would that sway you? Or is it simply that X number of people need to be hurt or homeless before you'll get outta bed?!

| Perhaps a Hull v Hull Kr fund would have helped then too but its down to the local clubs to drum up the idea really. The two Hull clubs didnt, maybe the cumbrians would?
If 2500 turned up at £10 and players waivered a match fee, once costs were removed, there would be a few quid for the voluntary services.
Plus a little boost to community moral at a tough time

| Not read the thread so sorry if any of what I type has already been said. As the people of Hull will no doubt vouch, the cleaning up and rebuilding process will ultimately take ages. A single game would probably not raise that much in the grand scheme of things. I think the best gesture would be for all professional rugby league clubs to donate say £1 from each paying spectators admittance fee over the course of the season (Maybe for MM the rfl to stump up the funds). Maybe have a raffle running throughout the course of the season (again at all pro clubs) with the winner winning the replica jersey of every club in the three divisions. Although money is probably needed now (Government should be the ones initially forking out to help) the cash at the end of our season would probably come as a massive boost when handed over and should help the rebuilding process really kick on.

So you're saying 'no one came and had a benefit match for me, so why should we have one for someone else?'
I feel for ya, honestly. But can't you see how what your saying is sort of double standards?
Nobody's having a heart attack. Maybe I just can't get my head round how someone can be such a pillock.
