Portsmouth FC fails to pay cancer charities

Howard Lake | 25 April 2010 | News

Portsmouth Football Club has failed to pay £14,000 to two local cancer charities, according to an article in the Observer today (25 April 2010). The Tom Prince Cancer Trust is due £12,000 and the Harbour Cancer Support Centre £2,300.

The club announced this week that it has debts of over £122 million, but according to the Observer newspaper, neither charity was included on the list of creditors published last week.

Tom Prince was a Portsmouth Season-ticket holder who died of bone cancer in 2004 at the age of 15. The club pledged to donate £2 from the sale of each replica shirt sold last season. The charity was presented with a giant cheque at Fratton Park last season, but the actual funds have not been paid.

The Harbour Cancer Support Centre, based in Gosport, was due to receive the profits of a raffle and an auction at Fratton Park, but no money has yet been handed over.
