FC United Thread

St Andrew won the money! Ha ha ha ha ha, shame it wasn't St Pauls but it still feels like a win. Those scummy bastards have had enough handouts that have been skimmed off, I still can't believe they were trying to take money away from schools.
 
Bit behind here probably, so St Andrews won then and not this bunch of scum. Had an email this morning saying they got the judge's prize etc... so I read up on the winners. I like the bit in bold ;-)

St. Andrew's CE Primary School
REGION: NORTH WEST
VOTES: 6308
M&S ENERGY GRANT AWARDED: £12,000
St. Andrew’s CE Primary School has served the area of Boothstown for over 125 years. With research suggesting that LED lighting has a positive impact on the learning environment for children, this school hopes to upgrade their entire lighting system to LED, so that they can create an eco-friendly and enhanced learning environment for all.

WHAT THE JUDGE'S SAID: After amassing an incredible number of votes in what was the most competitive region in the whole competition, it was unanimously agreed that St Andrew’s Primary School deserved to be awarded a Judge’s Prize. Their pledge to not only install LED lighting across the whole school but to use the installation as an educational opportunity to highlight to parents, students and staff the benefits of energy efficient technology made this project a worthy winner.
 
Presumably they wrote into the rules that the vote was advisory and nothing more. Similar to the Boaty McBoatface poll, which was never going to be allowed to stand.

In all honesty they should be fucking ashamed of themselves – stealing away much needed investment from schools... in all fairness they shouldn't have even been in the vote in the first place... like the club they spawned from... SCUM!!!
 
FC United - The reds could be going green!
Region: North West
Votes: 6771
M&S Energy grant awarded: £12,000
FC United are a semi-professional football club, owned by over 4,000 members, and with true community values. The club is a Community Benefit Society, operating on a one member, one vote basis. During their refurbishment of an underdeveloped part of their St. Mary’s Road End stand, they will be looking to install energy efficient heating and lighting. This will enable greater engagement with local community groups.

looks like their alleged vote scam worked
 
(with true community values) that alone should have them kicked out of the competition when people of moston voted not to have them on there door step but the council over rules them and built fcum on greenfields so how green really are fcum
 
Bloody embarrassing that they have managed to secure enough votes to win this, little non league club generating more votes that us, fucking pisses me right off.

Our efforts were divided and probably also done incorrectly. As soon as people started spoofing email addresses, that was it.

Should have all gone for one candidate, and also registered votes by collecting them on paper in a pub on match day. Assume each person has 2 email addresses, and think of those numbers.

Nevermind anyway - the longer they survive, the longer they provide entertainment.

How will have a better heating and lighting enable them to engage greater with local community groups?
Which local community groups are going to decide whether or not to hire the bar area based solely on the room having LED lighting?
They have a function room now that hardly anyone hires out. Still, that's £12,000 down. -only a couple of £100,000's to go untill they cam start....
 
Great, so the 2 entrants we hated the most got the money and we continue to struggle by on a shitty budget.

Fuck's sake.

Presumably because reducing overheads will free up more money for additional community projects.

The current function room is pretty much fully booked most of the time. Took awhile to get to that stage but it's definately well used now.

All 400k of the money for the SMRE development is in place and work will be commencing soon so no more requires raising.

Actually the majority of local residents were in favour. There were of course those against but there has been a few developments recently where there has been zero opposition so I think the club is generally well accepted in the area, possibly due to the community activities for local residents.
