Moral dilemma

[Tooting Gull]

Purely hypothetical. A good friend of yours is sitting in his chair at Withdean and his/her seat collapses and they badly damages his back, requiring six months off work and shitloads of inconvenience including extra costs. Not a case of too many pies, it transpires the seat was not properly installed, it was a safety error, and the club is responsible.

Your mate is a very loyal fan, as are you, and a lawyer you know says if that given the facts of the case they will almost certainly get compensation of £100,000. The club is skint enough, say their insurance for some bizarre reason doesn't cover it, and that it would almost certainly mean one/two less players. Your mate is well pissed off, knowing that if it was anyone else they would sue without question but feels morally blackmailed. They are totally in the right, but the claim could seriously hinder the club. What do you advise him/her to do?

 

[Safeway]

Sue the club.

 

[Marshy]

Sue them for sure.
The club will be covered.

i would be very happy in that instance to offer the gentleman or lady a very good seat at Falmer, please don not sue as we are having enough court fees to pay out just to get this damm Falmer thing started let alone built!

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Insurance should cover it-sue away and then donate half the money back to the club. Everyone's a winner baby

 

[Juan Albion]

Shoot the friend. Put him out of his misery. Make sure he's left everything to the club in his will.

[Benny Seagull]

sue them. bastards!

 

[Brovion]

Surely you would sue Ecovert and/or Brighton Council as they manage/own the 'stadium'? I'm pretty sure the seats aren't ours as they keep disappearing every summer for the golf.

If it's Ecovert - sue them for every penny they have. Keep half and give half to the club.

 

[gonzo666]

yep sue them or tell them you want a director's box instead of sueing them

Sue Ecovert the thieving bar stewards, then donate the cash less expenses to Uncle Dick who can then offer to buy that buck toothed PSG player from under the noses of Sir Alex:blues:

from now on anyone named Sue is banned from Withdean, yep even a guy named Sue. Posters will be put up as soon as my printer can produce enough to circulate around the ground.
