Rather an unnecessary and ungenerous comment....so we can take it then that, always supposing you had the nous to do what Craig has done, you would have been prepared to put all the effort, including packing and making personal deliveries, that he has put into this for zilch reward. I would suggest that a personal apology to him might the order of the day.
I’m not sure why it’s necessary to drag up a post from May, but for what’s its worth I think Craig has done a fabulous job. I doubt he even remembers the post let alone is lying in bed at night waiting for an apology from me. My point was simply to make it clear that only some of the profits were going to the Trust. At the time it just felt a bit unofficial and a chance to make a few quid from using the clubs brand. No different to the dodgey scarfs being sold in Sidwell St prior to the Liverpool match. Craig subsequently worked with the club and gained permission to use the branding. I purchased one. Well done him.
Look back at the very first post on this thread from Craig, Totally straight up about a 50/50 split and for you to say that it felt a "Bit Unofficial" is just not very nice. As said Craig has done all the leg work for these masks and has made money for the club they wouldn't of got, His first mask was not really the clubs brand, It was more of the City emblem, When others suggested that possibly the clubs official badge could be used Craig went straight to the club to ask for permission and got it and now has produced a second run with the badge and they look awesome. 50% going to any cause is more than most give when people produce merchendise, Even those that say all goes to a cause don't include "Admin Charges" and that can often be a hefty % of any monies raised.
All worth it to see people happy with their masks and being able to give back to the club in this tough period.
I shall also be in the US next week (Charleston). Will be wearing my mask with pride.Hi all,
Thanks for all the nice comments. Hope everyone is starting to receive their masks from the latest order and are happy with them. Give me a message if there’s any problems or concerns.
Just waiting for the latest payout from the site and the latest donation should bring the full donation up to £1000 which is great! I can assure you when you break it down I’ve been getting way less than minimum wage
I actually flew back to America on Friday as I go to university out here so didn’t manage to see the latest batch so had someone take care of the packaging of this order! This is also going to make it difficult to continue with further batches. I’m looking at it logistically and possibly employing someone at home to deal with packaging. I will also speak to the club to see if they want a bulk order for the shop.
