Your Letters: It's hardly charitable

YOUR report exposing how just a third of the money generated by the Charity Shield goes to good causes appalled me.

For years I assumed that all the money from this event went to charity, but now we learn that while charitable causes get pounds 2million, the FA gets twice as much from ticket sales and TV rights. Football is a multi-billion-pound industry and it should be ashamed at making even more out of charity events.
