Burnley have done the same
Burnley fans raise thousands for food bank in Sky pay-per-view protest
Burnley fans boycotting today's Sky PPV game against West Brom are instead donating the £14.95 match fee to the town's food bank.

I've raised about 6k for my local food bank during lockdown. Didn't make the national or local papers, like.

Fuck ‘em
Well done the barcodes!Quality from the gang up the road
Supporters donated to Newcastle’s West End food bank rather than pay the £14.95 to watch their match against Manchester United. They raised £20,000 all in. Great to see!

Well done. Is any of that online? I’m sure many on here would want to give if they can

Really? You don't think that they were in on this cozy little arrangement to fleece the fans?
I took each one down after a few days, mainly because they were partially muted due to copyrighting laws, (I own the rights to perform all of the tracks I use, but not to record them), but also because I hate hearing them back in such a sterile environment. You're standing, staring into a camera; there's no projection, no connection: just you, in your living room. It's bloody awful.

no as the money is going to the clubs just like how we have to pay for our games

The whining about ppv is ridiculous. They should be complaining to their club who are swindling them over STs. Sky and the PL haven’t done owt wrong. That being said, if only the results of their ‘moments’ were always something as inherently decent as this. Fair play.

Their supporters' organisation started a campaign to have season ticket money refunded this week. Whether they get anywhere is another matter.

Fair play, sounds like a cracking idea and will do a lot of good. With Burnley doing it as well I hope it goes viral as it were, could be one good thing to come out of it. Well done to everyone who donated

Well done to all who contributed to it, a very worthy cause and their money doesn’t go to Sky.
