Man City Stop Bucket Collection

[bitterblue]

First of all I think its a disgrace that the club would'nt turn a blind eye to a collection for Carl and his family, whatever the club policy. This is one of our own!

I also dont quite understand why people are saying the club has no obligation, thats not really the point, this could happen to anyone of us whilst travelling to watch the team. It would be nice to think that the club could offer some help. We as supporters have not been obliged to support the club over the last thirty or so years, but we have, and to such an extent, that in the end it became an attractive proposition for our new owners. Thats because we love City. Considering we are now the supposed richest club in the world, it would be nice of them to offer some financial and moral support. What would purchasing a few flights for his family cost them! they could probably write them off as expenses.

You would think with all the bad publicity the club has been attracting off the media recently, they would be delighted to be presented with an opportunity to get some good publicity and endear themselves to football fans everywhere. I am going to email them and tell them how disapointed I am that they have not come to the aid of a fellow City fan and his family, critically injured while supporting the team. I urge as many people as possible to do the same.

Do you not need a permit for any charitable collection? Although I don't agree with what happened perhaps this is the reason why they did what they did, ie, officially it was illegal.

For F**S sake that is a jobs worth attidude .one of our own is lying in a coma Hundreds of Miles away in a Foreign Country & all you can do is try & quoate a F***Ing permit regulation I am just glad that all City fans have not got your self rightious beliefs

Totally agree with you. And with you Cyberblue.

Any arguments about the club not being obliged don't come in to it. No one was obliged to do anything apart from Carl's immediate family and friends. No one was obliged to donate or organise buckets but there are some top blues on here who have gone out of there way. And I'm sure the club could easily stretch to some financial contribution.

I can only hope it's because it has not reached the right people within the club. I did something for charity a few years back and asked for help from the club. They didn't help and explained it's because they got tons of requests every week. So I could imagine this getting lost in with other money raising requests and possibly not reaching someone who could really make a difference. So I'm going to try writing to the club as well and maybe between us we'll eventually hit the right nerve.

And you probably wouldn't make as much money as someone that showed other people a bit of respect.
