Fans of Bolton Wanderers have said it's"heartbreaking" to have to donate food and supplies to staff who haven't been paid by the club.and a food bank has now switched its focus to helping the employees who are struggling financially.
On Saturday fans queued to donate food, drinks, toiletries and other essentials and were helped by staff from local supermarkets who also added to the collections.It happened to be FA Cup final day - a competition Bolton have won four times previously. Lifelong fan Rachel told Sky News:"This is just heartbreaking - watching a team you have loved and supported for so long. I'm just glad me Dad isn't here to see it."Food bank organiser Jake Kirkman told Sky News he'd been overwhelmed by the"exceptional" support they have received from the people of Bolton and fans of clubs across the north of England.
How about the actual footballers let go of some of their extortionate pay to help feed them?
Can't they sell their mobile phones and big tv's......isn't that what everyone else says when it's about people on the bread line articles.
Overpaid players should have saved their money instead of buying flashy cars.
Man City break FFP rules, are owned by a country with awful human rights rules and are allowed to spend millions.......yet poor Bolton staff can't feed themselves or their families......football is so corrupt shame on the FA
This should not be happening in this day n age at any footballer club
We football fans have a bit of banter between each other,but when you see a club like Bolton in this state it shows you the games got massive problems. A lot of clubs are sailing close to the wind.Apart from the top 5/6 in the Premiership,this could be any other club very soon.🤷♂️
Well done, wasn't just Bolton, it was Liverpool and Everton and others i have heard, all came together to help them out
Absolutely disgusting it’s come to this I feel sorry for everyone involved 😢
Please change “into” to “in to”
While the likes of Man City buy every trophy they can
Wonder if the LabourParty blame TheresaMay for the unpaid wages ?
I thought food bank staff would of been volunteers ...
Isn’t it odd how wide the pay gap is in football?
shameful that this is even a thing,, how can that be in 2019?
This is what is crazy about the football industry. Any other business would have gone bust by now, but in football is drags on effecting involved. Also, why does the HMRC allow companies to defer payments, surely that’s just going to cause problems
