If the club want to up the price off the tickets that is their option, but to decide that we will be forced to pay £1 extra and make out it is a donation is wrong - a donation is a voluntary gift, this £1 is not, you are forced to pay it or you won't get a ticket.

Donations by title mean that its a choice to donate. They would be called a mandatory deduction and should be in this case if the choice was not made. Can people opt out of paying the £1 extra if they dont want to support the charity?

For gods sake, it's £1. Don't like it, don't get a ticket.

Your missing the point, see mine above too. Charitable contributions should always be down to personal preference.

I think it's great that all people have to moan about is a £1 donation. It means things are going well on the pitch

Keep up the moaning

Surely the preference is whether to buy a ticket or not? You know that by buying a ticket, a pound of that will be given to charity.

Your not just buying a ticket though are you, youre being forced to donate to a charity too and some people dont want to do that. Donations should always be voluntary. If i needed to buy and FC ticket i would pay the £1 as i like to give to charity and do regularly out of my salary etc. If people want a ticket but dont prefer to give the donation who should be able to force them is the arguement. They cant opt out otherwise they wont be able to see the game.

Time for this again

I don't mind paying the £1. However it's being forced on the fans and charitable donations should never be that way and therefore it is wrong of the club to do it.

They aren't being 'forced' to do anything. They're setting the price as being the game plus a donation, they've been upfront about this, that is the 'product' on offer. Like I said, if some fans don't agree with the price including a donation, then dont pay it - thats the preference, the choice they have

There are plenty of brands out there who are (or have in the past) been involved with charities and campaigns. They dont provide an alternative, 'non donation' version.

What if they want to go to the game without donating as they have already given money to this charity? They can't and that is wrong.

If the club had said nothing up front and charged a quid more, we'd be slating them for profiteering! They have told the fans their intention, buy a ticket or don't buy a ticket. Buying a ticket means you are giving a quid to charity. Whilst I agree it's not the best way of going about it, it is hardly a massive issue is it

its wrong simple as

good idea if you could pick where the £1 went
