I've never said it is. In fact, if you read any of my posts what you'll actually see is that I'm saying forget the match - if you want to give, then give. If you don't, then don't.

What I'm not saying - as you seem to be - is that we should all keep our money in our pockets regardless and be happy that the poor sods running around, risking their lives to care for vulnerable people should just do so because they get paid already.

And since I wouldn't want to offend you again, you're a pathetic cretin.

so if your saying forget the charity match.....what is your point exactly??
because this thread started as a rugby fundraising event....nothing more ... you namby pamby.

Read his post properly.................. Other ideas have been brought in to this thread since its conception

Agree totally,
The idea of 'some kind of RL game' is a very good one.

The locals get a morale boosting match to watch in what are very upsetting times consisting of (hopefully) SL select players (I'm sure each club would allow at [ileast[/i 1 player from the club to volunteer along with 1 SL coach) and the emergency services that have been out there risking life and limb for no financial reward get some money (no matter how small) towards upkeeping/grading their equipment / facilitys.

Read the title of the thread properly... [iShould[/i there be a Cumbria Flood Fund Game?

To save you the bother of reading my previous posts and embarassing yourself; I think a match would be a good thing. But there is way of giving if you feel like you want to.

I'm such a ponce for actually giving a toss about other people.

Oval Ball-I sincerely hope you are a Hull FC fan

The RNLI, Mountain Rescue and the likes could do with the money, though.

Based on Oval Balls genius;

How can a paper poppy support the family of a soldier killed in conflict?
How can a plastic daffidil support cander sufferers?
How can a sports match support Help for Heroes or the Tsunami fund?

Fact is it does because people with far more intellect than yourself devise ways for which it can do. Children in Need recently raised £18 million approx) Now sure there were big amounts raised - we all saw the big cheques with Wogan.

But, if everyone gave 50p then £30 million would have been raised. Im not suggesting that should happen. People have the right to choose the charities they support but anyone who thinks small amounts dont do anything might well need the support of a charity themself!

And there is the summary of this disgraceful country. Begging for causes that should be provided for by the people running the country, absolute disgrace.

Put a free game on to provide a distraction, to help lift the gloom yes, but on the scrounge for money-NO
