'We are not a charity' -Exeter Chiefs

No you certainly are not charitable if you refuse entry to recently made unemployed Fly-be staff because their management had not informed them the tickets they were given as rewards for good service were no longer valid. An extra £12 million plus from CVC, announcing a £1 million budget for the women's section but cannot afford to let a handful of people down on their luck into a match. To add insult to injury they offer them tickets for a meaningless A league match. How sad the top flight of rugby has come to this.

I agree with the above comments however think for clarity the rest of the statement should be included

Mr Rowe said he was "saddened to hear of the airline's demise" but it had "failed to conclude a commercial agreement".
He explained tickets were issued to Flybe, who had been sponsors since 2010, and the club did not know some were used as staff incentives.
Mr Rowe said airline managers were told "if the deal is off, the deal is off" and that their allocated tickets would not be accepted at the gate.
"It appears this key information was not forwarded on to those staff who had been allocated tickets for this game and that of future games," he added.

Marketing and PR manager at Chiefs must having been dying inside hearing the Tony Rowe interview . .. so small minded and short sighted!
