blythspartanBrogue Usual Twitter meltdown without actually thinking . 7k has been raised, that’s all. We don’t know how many staff there are, but it is believed to be more than 200, but less than 500. If the 7k was split between all staff - as per the requests from the Twitter knob heads it would be £35 each if 200 staff, or £14 each if 500 hardly going to make a difference to them is it? Putting on a party seems like a nice idea and with 7k I reckon they could put on something quite nice. You’d like to think the club could offer the conference centre/ directors boxes as the venue free of charge. 7k would go quite far on booze and food.
If I were a member of staff and I was given an option of £14 or a party I’d probably choose a party tbf
Aside from the players and coaches etc. I stupidly thought they’d only have around 100 salaried staff. I’m shocked that the figure could be up to 500.
I suspect those numbers are going to be fairly blurry between actual perm full time salaried staff, and various degrees of fixed term, part time, zero hours contracts and temp and contractors etc
