    Good idea that CiB, I have copied your idea, the "volunteers" can also clean Terriers Taxis, we will need the fleet ready for the next transfer window!

    This could run and run, the media are now picking up on the fact that we're one of the 'greedy' PL clubs that charge kids for being mascots.

    I can't see what all the bother is about here?

    No one is being conscripted - every one is a volunteer.

    Very few people get paid for being a political activist, school governor, church catechist etc etc.

    If I lived closer to Turf Moor I may consider volunteering myself - I certainly would not consider that I was being treated badly.

    I'm sure you can find a better way to criticise our club?

    You ought to be ashamed of yourself 59/60, people work in Security in order to put a roof over their children's head, food on their table and pay the mortgage or rent. And you would put them out of work by doing their job for nothing ? If BFC want people to do a job for them, then they should pay them for it, the same way we have to pay to watch the games. BFC is not a Charity it's a business, and a very profitable one, there is a difference.

    They want people to work for nothing! Jesus wept 1959_60, I know you are a Lib Dem but even they insist on paying a minimum wage.

    I'll bet the people employed by G4, paid on a pittance on zero contracts who get bused in from Manchester every matchday, are totally delighted their jobs are being taken by unpaid "Heroes"?

    Much ado about nothing.

    This is commonplace in many areas. Theatre, music sport, politics etc. (Do you get paid for your work for the Labour Party BT? They have loads of interns too)

    Did you complain about the Greeters who worked voluntarily during the London Olympics?

    I never went, but they were regarded as being a notable part of the success of the event.

    Do you object to all volunteers who work at every corporate event?
