Just for the record on Saturday at the fans forum Chris Turner was once again asked about this situation and stated clearly that it was a stand alone facility and CFC had no financial responsibity to it.
To clarify this is not my own opinon and I have no information to either confirm or contradict that statement.
Regards Nigel.
To be fair (and I'm not having a go at you Nigel!), that's not really the issue though is it?
I thought the point was that a website has been created which goes to great lengths to "suggest" a link (with text, photos, etc) between the organisation and CFC, albeit bearing at the home page's lower edge a "disclaimer" of that link. An average consumer could easily have dealings with the organisation in total ignorance of its apparent financial independence from the Club. The newspaper article previously posted is a good example of how the world at large will perceive things and how the press will report it.
How many people will need to feel ripped off and tell all and sundry how shabbily they feel they have been treated before the penny drops?
If the club doesn't want the implied association then it should take steps to overcome the "illusion".
