Breaking News Support The Team Not The Regime! New update 24/11

[Holy Joe]

There is a way to do this of course that 'barely' involves the club. It was mentioned on another thread some days ago.

Staff can apply to the 'fund' for money. Any money they receive can be paid back to the fund when they receive their wages.

Sounds nice and simple, could be more complicated in practice.

Is the £10k target in the page not enough for you??

Don’t except a nice reply from the mods on that point

It might be but I have not looked at the page as I will donate when my questions/queries have what I consider to be suitable responses.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Happy to donate, but would like Tom to be asked about affairs.
If he says: 'Ron has told me to say nothing," so be it.
In its own way that will tell us a great deal.
Any other info can only be helpful.

[WestStandBlue]

Don’t agree with it but have donated anyway and trusting it will be spent properly with full transparency

 

[WestStandBlue]

Why? its a personal choice. I have friends who work for the club that havnt been paid so if i and many others can help then surely thats our right. If you dont want to then fine but dont tell people what they shouldnt or should be doing

Proper question, don’t shoot me down. Have you provide some advice about looking for other jobs? I’d leave any job I was getting paid for immediately

Sorry i dont understand your question? apologies

 

[WestStandBlue]

Sorry i dont understand your question? apologies

My advice to friends not being paid for their work, would be to leave. Have you provided that advice to them?

I really don’t get why people hang around in roles they don’t get paid for

Donated; sad it's got to this, but good luck, if it helps just one staff household keep their lights on, or a youth teamer get to a game, it's worthwhile.

I think that even the knowledge in the media (certainly local, maybe national?) that supporters are raising funds to help pay staff who have not been paid should provoke a response from Martin.

I would say embarrass him into a response, but I doubt he gives a toss about being known as a schyster and unfit to run a business..

I think you’ll find quite a lot of the staff are also fans as well as employees and genuinely love the club and hope, like the rest of us that things will turn around, but we all know that’s not going to happen as long as Ron owns the club.

However full credit to them all for carrying on doing their jobs, as without them we wouldn’t be watching any games at all at the moment.

 

[Largs Shrimper]

Donated, find it very hard to believe I feel the need to do this for the club I have supported for over 50 years

 

[Smiffy]

£1,700 in an hour.

That will buy a weeks shopping for 20 staff members at least.

That is the way to look at this fundraising initiative.

No we shouldn't have to do it, but we can't just sit here and let hardworking staff go without the basics.

If it embarrasses Ron good, if it pressures him to stump up the money due quicker, even better.

 

[Shrimper]

What a surprise. As soon as the leech comes under pressure he pays the Youth's wages...

 

[Petejames]

Youth team got paid today? Cp just tweeted
