Jacks try to keep up with us - No chance

After the recent announcement that VT had pledged to donate £1million a year to local charities our poor neighbours have announced a community fund of £70,000.

Perhaps they will give it to the lucky heather farmers and also all the home workers making pegs.

Its better than nothing. Well done to the Jacks on this score.

Well done to the jacks, any charitable work deserves respect

To the OP... It's not a competition,its a charity!!!

Every little helps....

To be fair to them. They have splashed out £2m in dividends to the Trust Members.
No mention of paying back historical debts to local businesses mind. Perhaps they
just do things differently out West?

If all weve got to point score is about how much we give to charity then we got problems.

We can slag off and hate the Jacks as much as we like, its rivalry, come with the territory, but for a bunch of "fans" who took over their debt ridden club the way they have run the club since has been nothing short of remarkable.

We have so many factions in our support we couldnt run a raffle together let alone run a football club.

Whats the saying again "Too many Chiefs....."

Well said mario.

U are now on xmas card list

Better than nothing. Some people are obsessed.

All monies to charity should be commended but you do have to question how they came to the amount they have donated.

I am not making comparisons with the charity donations Cardiff City made, I am making the comparisons with their sustained stay in the PL, all the monies that came from that and, in the words of their own fans, making money by putting together a team on a small budget.

The amount does not compare to the income the club has made over the years especially when you look at their unpaid past and the fact that shareholders are taking large dividends.

However, its great to see clubs making an effort in paying back into the community that has supported them and got them where they are.

Yes we do. In fact there have been times during our rise to the prem that board members have had to loan money to the club due to cash flow problems. Can you imagine if they charged the club interest on that, say 7% for arguements sake. It would be totally outrageous wouldn't it!

Like yourself we will have to imagine it until its actually taken out of the club. Meanwhile in other news some directors HAVE taken money out of their club.

With the operative word here being 'their'. They are shareholders, like in any business. Fortunately they run 'their' business so well that they are able to take a dividend for the hard work they have put in making the club such a profitable and successful business. Not many other clubs can do that can they? Certainly not you guys. Best to take a consultancy fee for racking up huge debts or charging you interest on the money they put in to then keep you afloat! Please Wayne, stop it now your creasing me up!

Given what theyve acheived taking 2m out split between the people that saved them, and the trust themselves, is peanuts.

To put it into perspective Huw Jenkins is paid less than some league two footballers.

Can't argue with you. Having owned a few shares in my time I was more than happy to take a dividend. My only criticism of huw Jenkins would be that he said that the board would never take a penny out of the club.

The OP has got it right.

If he didn't have so many posts I'd swear it was Roathie pretending to be a thick Cardiff fan!

I'm 99% certain it was said. Can't be bothered to search and if I'm wrong I apologise.

Good on you son........ Now what are your thoughts on the topic we are actually discussing? Maybe you should have just made a new thread on how charitable you are?

Sir huw has never said he would never take money out of the club, for ten years this great man and the other great men on the board martin morgan, john VZ and a few others never took a penny out, now we are a PL club and need a full time chairman/chief executive, reward success not failure take note cardiff city fc.
