As a director and majority share holder does JF get any income from GTFC ?

Secondly does he have to pay anything for his seat, pre match food and drink, half time refreshment, and post match food and drink? Likewise at away matches, is he entertained FOC ?

Does he pay his own travel costs to away games? Or is it tax deductable ?

Does he have to pay tax on any of these freebies?




If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

The answer to the first question is no. I believe the answer to second is also no.

As previous response, pretty sure no income received.

Match day costs for our directors n visiting directors will be covered by the club, just as opposition club would cover such costs when Town play away.  None of this would be a taxable benefit as effectively it is business entertainment.  Travelwise I assume our directors travel on the team coach so no travel claim needed.  If they drive themselves to away matches that would be a reclaimable travel cost if they wanted to claim.  I assume our directors do not claim such costs as coach travel is there if required.

To be fair I wouldn’t expect  that any director , chairman or major share holder at any club pays for their seats ect .
Yes Fenty needs to go but This is getting a little bit petty now

Couldn't be further from the truth there! They all pay for their season tickets, always have done and they will continue to do so.

His family don't get anything for free. They pay for season tickets and merchandise just like everyone else.

They don't travel on the coach, they travel separately.

Pre Covid
Every FL and Championship clubs had to supply 10 Away director and Director Guests tickets and a Pre match meal as part of a FL agreement. Effectively if 10 GTFC Directors or guests attend an away match it cost GTFC nothing to get in BUT the Club has to foot the bill for all away directors at PB, It makes no difference if GTFC send 1 director or 10 to an away games we still have to supply 10 for all home games.

Since Covid
Every FL and Championship club had to supply up to 10 Away director and Director Guests tickets but no food or drink, these guests are now located in a separate area to the home directors and still have to follow all covid rules and regulations inside the ground.

As for paying for travel expenses this is responsibility of the traveling directors and guests  and No they don't get the money back of the club,

I don't believe for one minute that there  is anyone on here who would turn down the chance to take a family member or friend to a game for free at no cost to their own club.
