No i dont Deerey, don’t see any need to give any money to the club it’s a business not a charity,
You’re absolutely right that it’s not a charity, but you’re very wrong about it being a business. It’s run as one, because it has to be, but it’s so much more than that. It’s our football club, an emotional investment, a time investment, a hub of friendship and family; it’s continuity with personal past and connection to the future. If the last 18 months have taught supporters anything it should be that they’re more than mere customers, and the club is more than occasional entertainment that can be switched off like a TV. That’s lazy thinking.
I agree, kids parties and blah blah Unity blah will pay possible dividends in the future with people becoming lifelong fans etc – but if they’re already knocking round enough to go to a party or whatever, then they probably would anyway. Investing shares is a tangible way to support the club in the immediate sense, and to put further power into the hands of supporters – who are, as I just said, more than mere customers.
