To be honest if this is true, then fuck the lot of them.
The club was here before them and will be here when they have gone.

I really hope this isn’t true. I’ve tried to give the club the benefit of the doubt with a lot of the ticketing stuff, far more than they deserve.
But if this is true someone should be sacked. This isn’t even about money if the foundation were willing to pay. Through either pure ignorance or arrogance they’ve assumed they wouldn’t pay and sold it without checking.

@Becs for your meeting with them
I've sent this over earlier this evening. It's an awful thing to do and the type of thing social media laps up so it's going to cast a big negative over the club.

I hope this isn’t true, best position on the field we’ve been in years and they’re pulling tricks like this

On recent form its likely to be true but lets wait for the Club's side of the story before condemning them. Anyone actually know who uses the box?

Unless I’m wrong I believe they host multiple families with ill children each game

Club are only interested in how much revenue they can make now and they don’t give a fuck who they upset in the process. Wankers.

Worst thing is it sounds like the foundation were in a position to fund it themselves but were never given the opportunity. So either the club have thought it’s their box they can do what they like with it or just assumed the foundation couldn’t afford it!

I've just read the BLF link above, regarding the box...IF the club have cashed in and sold it, someone really does want sacking. It was for the benefit of terminally ill people FFS! Who TF could make such a disgusting and upsetting decision? The media - quite rightly in my view - will have a field day. I'm desperately hoping it's not true but am fearing the worst...
