Quote: behind the stick "Well 20% of that £45 immediately goes to HMRC in VAT so that's £9 accounted for, add on the cost of the shirt which will be about £25 so that's £34 so £11 to share between the club and the chairty, given that the club will give the £5 for every shirt sold no matter whether they break even or not. Or were you just wanting to point a sticky finger and complain that you don't think its enough of a donation?'"
It's not enough of a donation. I think it's a bit of a disgrace really. When you say the shirt costs £25, I take it you mean this is the cost from ISC. I don't known if this is true or not but the actual price to manufacture should be a lot lower than this especially for the training top, which would mean ISC are making a good profit out of it. Are any of the sponsors that have their names plastered in the shirt making any kind of donation?
At the very least, when organisations are raising money for charity then they should also show a break down of where all of the costs go and if someones profiting from it they should be brought to task..
How many shirts are they expecting to sell? It can't be more than a few hundred judging by what I've seen at matches and in and around town. At a fiver a go, we can't be raising that much from shirt sales.
