PPV boycotts and charity

[chrisawhitmore]

Hi folks,

 

As some of you might have seen, Newcastle's supporters have hit upon a nice way to boycott PPV and do some good at the same time, raising money for a local food bank:

It'd be nice if we did something similar, either with the Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha foundation or the Trussel Trust who run a bunch of food banks around Leicestershire.

 

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts and suggestions.

 

EDIT: I'm told that some people are already doing this for Menphys https://www.menphys.org.uk/ . I'd back that as they're a great charity, and they're going to be hurting for cash this year since there's presumably not going to be a charity concert at De Montfort hall like they usually have.

Why did these people wait to get annoyed by something before they gave to charity?

You're assuming they weren't doing other things before and they may well have been very composed and feeling tender-hearted when they made their contribution. Who knows?

yeah pretty much.

 

 

but if it’s an explanation you’re after as to why you are a melt...

 

These are people who most likely would have spent that money on a season ticket, or a match day  out with friends 

 

so instead of using that extra money to buy a few more beers they don’t need or a new game or more downloads they give it to charity. The fact you can find anything negative about this shows more about you than them.

They already donate to the Mike Cashly foundation
