SAFC play Scrooge

How are they less fortunate ? . They are a local football team smaller than Sunderland that’s all .

Completely different scenario.
Ok I’m sorry I’ll join the popular opinion, “f**k them why should we help a lower league team with next to no income, the bunch of knackers that they are?”.
There you go, is that better?
 
I can't imagine £700 goes too far for us, who knows.
A quick Google search of Vince Kirkup and Crook Town brings up no recent stories, where are the quotes from?

Yeah, £700 isn't much but we are not millionaires these days. We are a business, and one that runs at a loss I believe.

I bet Crook don't lose as much money as we do.

This, people need to realise we aren’t a PL club, with PL revenue streams anymore.

The club needs to become more self sufficient and try to make sound business decisions even if it upsets folk from time to time.

Comparison with the mags is completely disingenuous in this context. Reads like the crook chairman is a mag and couldn't wait to have a dig.

Totally agree, weird comparison and a cheap shot at SAFC. I’d feel completely different if we we’re still in the top flight and receiving millions from broadcasting rights, but we aren’t.

The operating costs of running a club our size must be huge and we’re in a difficult position in making decisions like this while we are stuck down here!
