    Probably worth mentioning that this is nothing new. The club has done this pretty much every summer for a number of years.

    And that makes it right lol. Fool.
    Tough words from the keyboard warrior.

    Surprised you didn't trot out your usual "time to target..." cliché.

    I can understand and respect the "ingenuity" of certain staff members wanting to help the club budgets by flogging off a few items of memorabilia for exceptional items but I am not sure they should be put in such a position in the first place.

    If it is basic or even "added value equipment" for the modern day media "experience", especially when the owner has his own privately streamed feedback (whose budget pays for that?) then the messages it sends about the state of the club do not bear thinking about.

    Well at least the media team know to put the club in the international press.

    As Addicted suggests it is surely a question of budget priorities, and media budget priorities at that - £1500 on a 1 day national newspaper conference or £500 on a piece of media equipment?

    Done more in the protests than you to drive them out face to face. Is there more of a keyboard warrior than you?

    This.

    I don't like the fact that we have food banks in the UK but I don't call the good people who run them "fools".

    I blame those higher up who are responsible for the situation that makes the food banks necessary.

    I have never bothered with eBay because my understanding is you have to fart arse about having a PayPal account which seems a layer of finance shenanigans to add to the usual ones most of us have.

    Is there any other club at our level who flogs what in all decency should be donated to charity to raise money to buy pretty fundamental equipment for any professional sports franchise?

    What next?

    I cannot believe RD is selling to stuff to just raise money like he is doing. The man needs to be stopped.

    I wonder if staff are allowed tea and coffee, or must they pay.

    I've heard many a horror story about PayPal too so I actively avoid them.

    Getting good traction on Reddit.

    Does the reddit poster post on here?

    Maybe...maybe he's prone to hyperbole and exaggeration on Reddit and doesn't want to incur the wrath of more serious posters on CL!

    Since the catering was outsourced, I believe staff DO have to pay for their beverages.

    Pretty sure that , when this was raised at a FF meeting early in the regime's "reign", KM told us she has to do so during her working day at The Valley.

    I would hope that is for meetings. Staff have a kitchen and can make their own hot drinks during the day.

    When the club first started doing this we were in a dire financial position and the fans were happy to help as it felt the club and the fans were pulling in the same direction.

    This is not the case today thanks to the efforts of the owner, CEO and its Senior Management whose last efforts at dealing with its customers was to put a bloody big netting in front of them

    Could you not share these horrors?

    I personally have had no issues.

    I've never had a problem personally and use them quite a lot. But their customer service when it comes to sorting out when accounts are hacked and money stolen has a really bad reputation. Paypal basically hate admitting their site can be hacked so do everything they can to claim the account holder is responsible in someway and try and not pay back the money. There are also often problems with frauds linked to ebay when refunds are given before disputes are solved and ebay and Paypal have cost a lot of sellers a lot of money over the years.

    I think there's some truth in this. PayPal and more so eBay have always been 'for the buyer' as opposed to the seller.
