civilsaint Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 What's your issue with it? He's quite validly pointing out that this could be some kind of vehicle for some kind of project. Or else it could be a total coincidence and be unrelated. We may find out sooner or later.

Stuart Dickson Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) There may well be very good reasons financially for separating out the "Community" element and get the charitable status defined as it can then apply for grants. Cue Stu Dicko going mental on how terrible it is that club like St Mirren with a multi-million pound turnover is exploting SFA and Government grants. Is you conscience pricking you Slash? I don't mind St Mirren getting grants to assist with the cost of running worthwhile community projects - the issue I have is how tenuous the line gets. St Mirren should never have been awarded the SFP grant for the dome but it's hard to argue with the likes of the community garden project or the employability and work training. programme. I would imagine though that it is sensible to split the Community Trust from the club as it ring-fences funding for it's intended purpose.

aldo_j Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Who rattled your cage Sensitive point? Not at all pal. Was merely asking what your issue was with it, as seeing something like that wouldn't get my knickers in a twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
