Why would the Jimmy hill way get behind it they are a protest group nothing else?
Click to expand...

Because he is supposed to care about CCFC and the supporters.
If he is just a protest group he shouldn't be joining the board of the trust as he must know how devisive that is but massaging his ego is more important to him than carrying out anything positive or progressive.

I appreciate you know him so you may say I'm talking shit which is fair enough but that's the perception.of people like me who don't know him and if he is going to achieve anything in the next year on the trust board then he should be working to change that perception rather than revelling in it along with his silly fucking mate Kaln

So the team benefit from having those extra fans, the club benefit from having the extra cash, the recipients benefit from being able to see their beloved City, and the rest of us benefit from the 'feel-good' factor this has generated. Mr M-M Janitor for PM!

Just a quick thought, are the 'nominations committee' having a look at potential nominees social media posts?

Personally I wouldn't be thrilled at the thought of one of the idiot facebook/twitter keyboard warrior negative knobs getting a freebie.

Brilliant work by everybody though, fantastic.

Hi all.
Have read and viewed this site for years but have never signed up.
This is a message to thank everybody who has donated to and helped with the fund for season tickets.
I was told last week that me and my son will be having one. We are both over the moon.
I have wasted so many years of my life with a severe gambling addiction. I finally admitted I needed help last year and was in rehab away from my family for 18 weeks. Having 2 young children this was so difficult. I am now gamble free and successfully battle this addiction daily. I lost out on so much time when in the gambling zone and being able to share my saturdays ( previously a heavy gambling day ) with friends and family watching city is what life is about. Not glued to a laptop, phone or machine wasting my life gambling. Lots of money gone but that can be replaced. Time cannot.
I was at rock bottom when I entered rehab, life is still difficult but things like this show me that I made the right decision and life is very much worth living.
Thank you again from me and the boy PUSB

We’re doing what we can. Can’t ever be 100% but it’s definitely something that’s on our radar. Nick has definitely got a future as a private detective.

Glad to hear you're getting your life back on track. Not afraid to admit I've been there myself. GA helped a lot, but it's not easy I know. Just glad that you'll be able to spend some quality time with your lad. All the best.

Coventry GA is a toxic environment I hated it. Gamcare sessions in Solihull are the place to go

Nick - may sound daft but is there any way you can remove the credit/betting option on SBT if anyone requests it. I know it's only virtual money, but I hate to think it might reignite an addiction?

Appreciate the offer, we’re getting through them all one by one and making contact, if anyone nominated or has nominated someone else hasn’t heard yet, it’s not necessarily that they haven’t been selected but just that we have not had chance to fully review.

Commuting on a train is helping and better than Netflix

If there are others to still nominate them please send them through or any other donations, they are always welcome but have slowed these last few days, need to track Tim Fisher and Joe Elliot down to help round it to £20k

A few more donations today.
It has slowed so possibly last calls for nominations but also donations for anyone and from anyone.

Thank you all on here so much for your kind donations. Who would have thought 19 days ago we would raised £16,305 from 244 donations.

:emoji_clap::emoji_clap::emoji_clap: To each and everyone of you

Great effort. I made a donation today. Other clubs and their fans should take a look at this example. It is encouraging and heartening to see. Proud of the fans/ contributors. Hope all recipients enjoy every minute of this. I may have missed if it has already been said but how many STs will this get? about 50 season tickets for adults and kids?
