Skidder Shorts No.14 - Albion Foundation Donations

Before some of you Baggies have a go at me again about the amount of taxpayer's money being handed over to The Albion Foundation by Labour Sandwell Council ponder this:

The Foundation's 2013 accounts show TOTAL donations to the Charity of £33,514 but £20,000 of this is stated to have been given by WBA (against £252,000 approx of  public money from The Oldbury Kremlin). That leaves just £13,514 from "the public".

The average home gate for a SINGLE home game at The Hawthorns is around 25,000. Let us say 20,000 excluding away fans etc. That means the total donations for the whole year equate to each Baggie donating just £0.68p at a single game. (Adult match tickets £25 to £39).

Some of you are very free with your criticism but not, apparently, so liberal with your cash!
