AlBear. 8,499 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Quote CARLISLE chief Andrew Jenkins has blasted the Premier League clubs who ignored his plea for help. The League Two side’s Brunton Park ground was wrecked in the floods which hit the Cumbrian city last month. And Sunday’s FA Cup clash with Everton is only their second match back on home soil following a costly clean-up operation. But Jenkins has revealed how, when he recently requested auction prizes for a flood fundraiser, the Toffees were one of only TWO top-flight sides to respond. The Carlisle chairman, 79, told SunSport: “My son held a dinner for the Cumbria Flood Recovery Appeal. We made about £4,000 on an auction and about £14,000 altogether. “I had written to a few clubs. The big London ones, large clubs in the North West, some much closer to home here, and even north of the border. “Sunderland sent three items, one of which was four tickets to their game with Man City. Everton sent some memorabilia to be auctioned and Rangers sent us something. “But that was it. I was disappointed with some of the big clubs. They couldn’t even send a shirt or something like that.” In contrast, Jenkins revealed how recent opponents, non-league Welling, who they played in the FA Cup, and League Two counterparts Oxford, held whip-rounds to raise money for the flood fund. The bill to repair Brunton Park is expected to be around £3million. Jenkins estimates Sunday’s TV clash could bank them up to £300,000 — the difference between losing or making money this term. But he is furious they have to rely on such cash to break even, given the riches higher up the league ladder. Jenkins admitted: “I haven’t got much time for the Premier League at all. “The money going into it is disgusting and the TV money coming in next year will make it even worse. They could be more generous to the smaller clubs.” At least this weekend’s visitors Everton, in Jenkins’ eyes, are among the good guys — but they will have to rough it on Sunday. He explained: “After the flood, they found asbestos in the away shower room. “So we’ve got some showers and toilets outside — and that is where they will be washing on Sunday!” Wonder what we sent...

Whatever it was, it is a great gesture from us and just shows that all the money in the world doesn't buy class. Majority of those EPL teams should be ashamed.

murzo 7,446 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Least Rangers gave something where others more rich and in the same country as Carlisle didnt. On a side, saw one of the other stories was Duncan Ferguson declared bankrupt. It bamboozles me how many footballers lose all they've earned.

Bobby Hume 13,036 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Not only the right thing to do, but the example shown by The Rangers and the other teams who bothered to try and help, should send a message to all who didn't that it is time they did. Especially the EPL wealthier clubs who can easily afford to help, not to mention the FA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

centenarystand 2,227 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Heard this story on the radio this morning with the Premiership clubs taking a pounding. All the money thats down there at present and they didn't want to know probably cos there wasn't a pound note in it for them. In the time of need class rose above money.
