Is it time to get this going again?

Season tickets would normally be on sale so a few people will have a bit of cash burning a whole in their pocket that they could chuck in this knowing it will end up in the club eventually.

Likewise I expect there will be an uptake in ticket requests this year with so much financial uncertainty.

Sure we'll do something again this year. Obviously don't know pricing or whether fans will be allowed in yet.

We can still buy them from the club even if fans are not yet let in - will benefit the club, and those receiving the tickets are no worse off !

I have given every time something like this has been proposed. In two minds this time unless it can be guaranteed that tickets go to help deserving cases. Not like one of guys who works full time in my place of work older than me and gets full pension payments and didn’t understand when I said what made him think he deserved it.

I know so I probably will give again. Unfortunately the people who allocate the tickets have to take things at face value so it’s not their fault

Get it started though I say, we don't know what the cost of anything will be yet but I'm used to paying for CCFC this time of year so I'm ready to chuck a few quid in.

I just want to say there is definite healthy skepticism in the judging panel, and @Nick is one hell of an internet detective, so rest assured we don’t take at face value where we don’t have to.

I would also say that the biggest issue is probably getting enough genuine cases that obviously deserve it, so please do nominate people if you know of them.

Nah I mentioned about you being on ifollow when you live round the corner from the Ricoh. Nothing about you choosing to help feed the homeless over football.

Fair play to you, you might want to recheck how my comments to you we went though.

If i could remember the match thread I would

But regardless I have said many times on this board that I go to as many games as i can afford when back in cov. Think it's ironic taking piss out of someone for not going to enough games whilst setting up a season ticket fund for those that need a ST!

Not looking to get in a long drawn out argument. We have had enough of them you and i. I will accept you wernt saying it in that way. I hope you can take a look at my point about ripping sum for not going without knowing the details. Don't assume I am rich. I have a I follow cos its split between me and my cousin. 2 home game tickets would match that price end of day. I still go on to ricoh 12 times or more

Very frustrating when people play a system like this
The guy obviously has no shame and thinks he's entitled
Like you I will probably donate again
Well done to you and everyone else who helps out
We shouldn't let the odd liberty taker stop us helping out the more deserving majority

I have no idea what u r upset about . U mentioned 1 person undeservibg ib your opinion. I mentioned another that i know off as possibly the same. Pension payments or refusing to work just different reasons to be undeserving?

But like i said earlier all feels a bit like gossiping so i will stop as i regret saying anything. For all I know went thru sum obstacle I have no idea about

As i have said people tell me he is on a jolly every day. not looking for job. Facebook posts. Could they have an incorrect view of him SURE

Same goes for your example. An old man still working hard every day. Deserves his ST on face of it. Earned his pension

Stop having a go at people that work hard

See what i did there?
