What do people think of this?

Not a bad initiative, it will raise a much needed £50k for the Foundation, in effect you are paying double price for the top end season pass if you pay for it yourself, and anyone fund raising will probably raise more than the £500 needed.

BUT

FC fans are a finite resource, so 100 threads on here with links to "just giving" pages isn't going to go down to well, and it may cause people to not donate to toher causes throughout the season.

I think this is a good idea but all the money raised must go to the Foundation. It is not clear from the press release whether the Foundation get every penny collected. Like some other people when I give to charity I deliberately avoid donating when the collector is on a large commission for rattling a tin. The percentage of [iClub 100[/i could be near 50% of money raised. I think it is therefore only ethical if the Foundation receive 100% of the money collected and the 100 season passes are donated to the charitable arm of the club by the commercial arm of the club, without any 'internal' transfers to cover the cost of the passes. I am sure the club are doing it this way, because I would not contribute to the Foundation's fund raisers if almost half was going towards buying someone a season pass.

Even the posh ones, cheaper putting 500.00 into chairty than buying your own then

I've just emailed my accountant about this, if it's possible to give £500 as a gift from the business and then write it off against tax then it's a definate option for me!

I believe it does all go to the foundation,i think its a good idea aswel.

Love it!

the system stinks, but it's the system!

Indeed mate, I am all for playing it to it's full extent. Everyone's a winner! (well maybe not everyone!)

Smallears always worries about the cost!

even though he struggles to spend it!

ive just signed up to the foundation,i think its agreat idea,im very fortunate that im in the process of doing some fundraising for the RNLI and the roy waudby foundation through my weight loss,i contacted the club and asked if it was ok if i split the money i raise between all the 3 causes that way everyone is a winner,i also said that i would give another £50 to the club100 from the money id saved for my season pass seen as im getting one for doing the fundraising,ive currently had about £1600 pledged so far so all 3 will do realy well from me,i decided to add the club100 to my fundraising as i think its a great idea,also of course the offer of a season pass was to good to turn down,i might aswel get something out of it for all the suffering im going through with this bloody health kick

plus im now into my 8th week without a pint

cheers to everyone who has supported me through the last 3 months,ive got about 1 and a half stone to reach my target by december.

cheers wolfie

Great achievement....you will be able to have a few cheap nights out at Xmas Wolf, you will be piissed after 2 pints

I've been trying to think of a funny remark, but can't. So well done

Superfan

F**k me, we better rebrand the Fitzy T-shirts

just a question i have been pondering since you have decided to split the pledges you have been raising for the rnli and roy waudby foundation( since summer ) 3ways now since the club100 has just recently started , have you informed all those who have so generously pledged to these other great causes it will now be diluted 3 ways ?

Does it matter if you are raising money for charity how many ways you decide to split it to benefit each cause ?

No, but if people are giving their money away, then have a right to know where it's going to, and be updated if any changes occur...

Jesus wept.... unbelievable

how come your concerned,have you sponsored me??

people have sponsored me for attempting to do a sponsored weight loss i may not even reach my goal yet then ill not deserve to get any donations will i.

as part of me signing up for thre club100 i recieved a sponsor form to raise a minimum of £500 the people who have been put on it to reach that target have all been informed were there money is going,as for the rest yes i will update them and all nessesary pages on forum,facebook etc.

when i saw it on the forum there was a chance of getting a free pass i thought that seems a good opportunity seen as im already raising money i rang the club and sounded them out with my intentions and they was fine with it,so thats what im doing.

Did i ask them to put that,no didnt think so,i didnt even know it was going on the website till someone told me at the gym tonight,thought me signing upto the club100 would cause a stir,the £20 you donated would you like it to go to any particular one of the charities or arent you fussed??

Tbh can see people pov,you cant just suddenly move the goalposts,if a hkr fan had sponsored you can't see them being happy contributing to hull fc fundraising,also hutchie might have wanted his donation to be kept private just a thought

Ah the super dooper uber fan does exist....

Oh Dear!!

You're doing something good Wolfster, a lot on here could only dream of such humility.

I wasn't criticising you at all Wolfie - what you're doing is great, admirable, and I certainly couldn't do it - all I was saying to BB is that when people give away money, they like to know where it's going. That was all. I wasn't having a go at you, and didn't mean you to take it as such, I was just trying to explain that fact to her, which she doesn't seem to like.
