Sponsor pulls out of Lewes match - Should we step in?

[Tooting Gull]

Lewes FC chairman's views are here

What a top bloke. And it's also good to hear some different reasons from his particular angle about the benefits to the surrounding community of the stadium.

If Lewes are calling £35,000 a small sum in the big picture, makes you wonder exactly what they have wasted fighting it, probably best part of £100,000. They could have done a lot with that for local provision.

Hope Lewes will be ordering in some extra Harveys for the day... (legal note: smiley may not depict actual pint of Harveys)

 

[B.M.F]

A load of bollocks

have to say that I am with ernest on this one. yeah it has been great the support they have given but surely all the extra cash fans have got should go to the Albion after their appeal for money not to a team we do not support and are not close to financial ruin

As Lord B. states above, Lewes are very publicly supporting the Falmer campaign. Seems to me that the least we can do, as a purely voluntary one-off gesture of appreciation, is cover the sponsorship they would otherwise have lost on the day.

I think it is a good idea, Might get a bit in the programme slagging off the NIMBY' then

And like I said, yeah it is great that have supported us but our financial needs at the moment outway Lewes tenfold

 

[caz99]

yes but we cannot expect others to help us if we don't help them its only fair.

 

[B.M.F]

So what happens if we help them financially and as a consequence go out of business ?

 

[caz99]

who the supporters? well i am not going to go out of business. i put money into the albion as well.

 

[B.M.F]

who the supporters? well i am not going to go out of business. i put money into the albion as well.

not the supporters but the Albion. They have already said that every penny counts so surely an extra £400 will help the club that we all love

 

[n1 gull]

I tend to agree with fatboy.
At the moment I think financial support should go to the Albion,
by all means offer support by attending etc.

I think there are too many appeals for cash at the moment.

 

[jonogulls]

Yeah, 'cos £400 is going to make us go bust.

Jesus.

 

[B.M.F]

Yeah, 'cos £400 is going to make us go bust.

Jesus.

but it is not just £400. We are always being asked for money left right and centre and me, personally, would prefer to donate it to somethng I am passionate about

But this one is directly related to Falmer and is about building goodwill and a general support mechanism within the community. IMHO, like.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Yet again - another simple point made complicated. If you want to pay - pay. If you don't, don't. But why slag those who do?

Thanks for your vision fatty. If you don't like it you don't have to donate anything to this cause, donate it to the club if you're that passionate about it. No one's putting a gun to your head.

Don't start preaching to others about what causes they can donate to.

[Albion are, of course, at home to Rotherham on that day, so we might have to forgo the prawn sandwiches. But whoever said that was the most important thing about being a football supporter?]

I thought we werent allowed to play at Withdean in December cos of the park and ride being needed for shpppers?

It is early enough in December that the council let it go ahead. I am pretty sure we have played the odd FA CUp Second Round game at home on that weekend, Rushden on the TV a while back.

not allowed a point of view nowadays if it goes against the majority. you lot must be right C U N T S if all you can do is knock someone for their own views. Where did I ever say that I did not appreciate the effort Lewes have put in to our cause and where did I say that you should niot give your money to them. I said that it was my view and no one else. Can't anyone think for themselves nowadays
