What do people think of this?

Not a bad initiative, it will raise a much needed £50k for the Foundation, in effect you are paying double price for the top end season pass if you pay for it yourself, and anyone fund raising will probably raise more than the £500 needed.

BUT

FC fans are a finite resource, so 100 threads on here with links to "just giving" pages isn't going to go down to well, and it may cause people to not donate to toher causes throughout the season.

I think this is a good idea but all the money raised must go to the Foundation. It is not clear from the press release whether the Foundation get every penny collected. Like some other people when I give to charity I deliberately avoid donating when the collector is on a large commission for rattling a tin. The percentage of [iClub 100[/i could be near 50% of money raised. I think it is therefore only ethical if the Foundation receive 100% of the money collected and the 100 season passes are donated to the charitable arm of the club by the commercial arm of the club, without any 'internal' transfers to cover the cost of the passes. I am sure the club are doing it this way, because I would not contribute to the Foundation's fund raisers if almost half was going towards buying someone a season pass.

Even the posh ones, cheaper putting 500.00 into chairty than buying your own then

I believe it does all go to the foundation,i think its a good idea aswel.

Love it!

the system stinks, but it's the system!

Indeed mate, I am all for playing it to it's full extent. Everyone's a winner! (well maybe not everyone!)

Smallears always worries about the cost!

even though he struggles to spend it!

ive just signed up to the foundation,i think its agreat idea,im very fortunate that im in the process of doing some fundraising for the RNLI and the roy waudby foundation through my weight loss,i contacted the club and asked if it was ok if i split the money i raise between all the 3 causes that way everyone is a winner,i also said that i would give another £50 to the club100 from the money id saved for my season pass seen as im getting one for doing the fundraising,ive currently had about £1600 pledged so far so all 3 will do realy well from me,i decided to add the club100 to my fundraising as i think its a great idea,also of course the offer of a season pass was to good to turn down,i might aswel get something out of it for all the suffering im going through with this bloody health kick plus im now into my 8th week without a pint cheers to everyone who has supported me through the last 3 months,ive got about 1 and a half stone to reach my target by december.

cheers wolfie
