I think it is pretty poor this fund thing. I expect better from a privately owned professional club.
A good point was brought up on the pod. Because they lose money on the club every year its more or less a charity for the owners. Give away some money so Wellington can have their very own football club. So expecting them to stump up more money is a bit of a hefty ask unless they can see a way that will see the Phoenix being profitable.
and there may be people who wish they could flick the club a few bucks here and there and this is a good way to do it.
I think we are all just being a little grumpy.
