The Light Was Yellow Sir said:
It’s at the hotel football, as owned by Family Guy, the Neville’s, Butt and Scholes. The rags actually objected to the plans submitted by their ex-players saying it undermined the ‘holistic vision’ (oh how they laughed when City used that word) for its strategic plans for the area.
Also, the event details says ‘doctors from the hospital that treated the victims’ not doctors who treated the victims! Finally, it says fundraising dinner, with no mention of where any proceeds might be going. All sounds a bit ghoulish and a little bit sad.

Excellent spot about it being doctors from the hospital who treated them rather than doctors who treated them.
On further investigation (it is 4.30am and I am wide awake!) I found this on the organisers website... www.munich58.co.uk

"2018 Gala Dinner: 23rd Nov
Enjoy a fundraising Gala Dinner Evening on the 23rd November 2018 at Hotel Football, Old Trafford in the company of The Red Docs of Munich who care for the Munich Memorial site at Manchesterplatz and a number of United legends"

So they are the doctors who take care of the memorial in Munich. As can be seen from that website, non of the money is raised for the families etc but to "keep the legacy of the disaster alive" (should the BBC and other media outlets decide not to remind everyone every year.....) and to inform new fans about the history of the club.
Check the mission statement out on the "about" section.

But they could publicly dissociate the club from it.

The club's name isn't mentioned anywhere in that ad and nor is the club badge on show, as already mentioned if the club say anything the event gets free publicity.

The organisers do at least get the address correct "Stretford M16..." not Manchester or Salford. ;-)

Literally none of that surprises me. Utter shithouse of a club.

Sounds like it could be a sort of slush fund to pay the likes of Slug Stone at the BBC
