We definitely wont be donating to this Pound for a Pitch malarkey. In fact we find the whole begging thing quite embarrassing as Scunthotpe United supporters, particularly seeing one of our owners on the begging page with Dave and co. As previously said directors come in and enjoy the matchday experience and hospitality, but then still expect all the money back which they put in if and when they decide to leave. We supporters who can afford to are happy to buy season tickets, and if not matchday tickets, and also spend money at the catering points and bars. But we feel this is a step too far and if the current board cant even budget for the pitch with gates of over 5000 then new investors should be looked for. When do we supporters get free hospitality meals and drinks included in our matchday experience?
In our opinion the bad state of the pitch has to be the responsibility of the owners as they make the decisions as to who to employ to lay and maintain it, and should not expect supporters to fund it.
