ekblue Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 What a magnificent gesture from the club in these difficult times. That's exactly what a community club acting for the community should be doing. For Celtic it's just pin money but for Killie it's a high proportion of their 'zero' income at present. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenwick Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Well done the club, benefit the community of Kilmarnock, I really think the Celtic done that for s**ts and giggles as Sevco seem to have pocketed the cash ha ha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTID1869fc Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 An un-forecasted windfall, rather than fire it into an agents pocket or prop themselves up like the majority will, our club gives it to charities.

Think we’ve probably got more to worry about than kids not getting subsidised to see Killie games. No schools for months or the foreseeable, kids falling through the gaps, daily social care missing, generation going to be affected for years to come and generally lots of people in a s**tty situations, if a charitable donation goes some way to helping any of that then I think the club have their priorities spot on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KCST is responsible for distributing free tickets to local youth groups so it might have the same effect. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is, it must be used for community projects. Clubs have to prove it, before they get it. KCST does stuff like that. Football memories project. Mini kickers & other coaching schools (when it is safe to resume. Obviously.) They hand out some tickets to the weans too. https://kilmarnockfc.co.uk/community/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season starts behind closed doors then the U16s can watch the game with the adult who purchaeed a ST. I fully expect a deal to be made for U16s once we can attend RP again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like the club have thought this through and channelled it to the area of the club that needs it most. Fair play. If others would rather just give Sky 50k so we can give U16s a link to a stream then more fool them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but for me it comes down to do I want to risk losing his seat when it's made available to the public as I really like where we sit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
