Benefit games belong to the maximum wage era. In years past I attended plenty and always believed that the likes of Dave Connor, Neil Young and Glyn Pardoe in particular were badly done by when refused one. I subsequently contributed to several benefit dinners and such for Neil Young (Don't remember any such efforts for the others mentioned)
By most peoples standards Nicky Weaver will have earnt a hell of a lot of money and certainly more than most of us will earn in our life times and he should be more than capable of looking after his own financial needs. I'm not sure how benefits work these days but are you expecting City to donate Eastlands free of charge for the night? Who pays the staff wages etc etc? If this is to be done from gate receipts I expect Nicky will lose money on the night.
