Gladbach's donation to the migrant crisis

[ivansneck]

I'm pleased to say that Borussia have decided to donate €1 for every ticket sold for the Champions League game at home to Man City. Given UEFA restrictions this means €46000.

I saw this.  I got confused at first though and thought that they were selling €1 tickets to migrants.  I did think that would be quite hard to arrange, so donating €1 from tickets sold sounds like a much more sensible idea!

 

Good on them. It's always good to see a football club trying to make the world a better place, doing what they can.

I'm glad to say that all clubs in European competition are now doing this.  Now I hope our Government will change its stance and rhetoric.

It's one of those stories whereby it gives you hope for the sport and shows it isn't all bad (corrupt).

I wonder if Blatter would be so open to doing something positive? I shouldn't give him ideas! Well done to Gladbach and good luck to them against Manchester City (who I don't really like).

We'll need it! I just want third in the gourp

Nice to see this kind of thing happen. Football always gets bad press regarding its supposedly inherent selfishness and millions of pounds or euros floating around, but there are nice stories underneath the surface.

Fifa could donate x per goal score in both the champions and europa league, yet I doubt it would happen.

Goal per back pocket maybe! Well done to gladbach.
