Milton: Sign Up to Support the Academy
Wednesday, 31st Jul 2013 06:03
Academy sponsorship manager Simon Milton is the man charged with raising a third of Town’s £1.5 million annual investment in a Category One academy. He told TWTD a bit more about the Academy Association and what local business people and supporters will get for their contributions.
“Over the last few years I’ve been trying to raise £100,000 a year. What we’ve done is we’ve got all the team sponsors, we’ve kept that the same, scholar sponsors as well, but I’ve introduced Business Members and Academy Friends,“ said Milton, pictured above with academy director Bryan Klug, Tommy Smith, academy operations manager Helen Broughton, Luke Hyam and Kieron Dyer.

SIR – In all my medical career (and probably since Edward Jenner introduced vaccination) I have never come across a vaccine being launched where the message seems to be: “Have the vaccine but don’t trust it.”
The whole purpose of a vaccine is protection, or at least a very attenuated form of the illness. If the Government carries on with this madness there will never be a return to normal life.

SIR – It has been suggested that key workers who have been double-jabbed should be exempt from self-isolation if they are pinged. Why not just stop self-isolation for all who have been double-jabbed?
David Hutchinson
SIR – An old friend of ours has been in hospital for two weeks. He has had regular Covid tests, all negative, but he has just been pinged by Test and Trace telling him that he has been in contact with someone who has Covid and must self-isolate for 10 days.
He isn’t certain if he’ll be out of hospital by then.
Eric Harpham
SIR – Huge numbers of people have to isolate after being pinged by the NHS Covid-19 app, crippling the economy in the process. Why on earth can these people not go to work, if they test negative every day, as the Prime Minister tried to do himself?
Milne: Mings Cash Will Be Reinvested in Team
Monday, 29th Jun 2015 14:09
Town MD Ian Milne has confirmed that the cash received from the sale of left-back Tyrone Mings to AFC Bournemouth last week will be reinvested into Mick McCarthy’s first-team squad.
The 22-year-old was sold for an initially £8 million - the majority paid up front and the rest in instalments - with the overall fee potentially rising to £10 million once top-up clauses - likely to relate to appearances and future international recognition - are triggered. The deal also included a sell-on.
“We received a substantial amount of money for Tyrone and having spoken to [owner] Marcus [Evans] we both realise that it’s important we reinvest that money back into the team,” the Blues MD told the club site.
