I can confirm that Duroc sent £600 to foyle hospice and the meet and greet tickets fetched a further £ 200.
I am thankful from the charities perspective that this has happened and I will be running the London marathon for this charity in April 17.
However the manner in which the refunds were dealt with including correspondence that I received was a total disgrace, including the fact that they never really publicised it.
Feck I nearly wish it had gone to court. But then of course I would not have got as much money off them, so I will settle for it overall.
Roll on Status Quo plc....its the only hope we have now.

Devotion towards charity does not excuse practices elsewhere. As has been proven in recent times.

I'm glad they honoured that charitable commitment, just a shame the whole issue wasn't dealt with in a more professional manner.

You know, I was looking at one of the Quo pages and someone had posted a message to Rick about how all they wanted, as 'real fans' was for Rick to get better and basically having a go at those who moaned about Rick not being there or demanded refunds. This was on Andy Bown's twitter. Totally sanctimonious and missing the point entirely.  To suggest that those who wanted a refund didn't care about Rick is beyond contempt. The contempt should be toward Management who have brushed Rick under the carpet, while carrying on with nary a blip in proceedings. |

4th ChordThey really haven't got a fkin clue have they? They live in their perfect little bubble, watching Jeremy Kyle, Homes under the Hammer. Making sure they "like" the "You must like this page or 14 fluffy kittens will die of anal hemorrhaging" on facebook. Getting their fat arses and double chins the front frow of a Cabaret Quo gig stamping on kids just to get a wink or wave from TAFKAR. And they do this just in case there's a possibility of them getting a gold plated plastic medal from der Management for being a "real fan". Tossers. *Right...breathe*

I'll say one thing...They're certainly a two faced bunch in that band. Francis and Rhino especially.
Rick brings Rhino in and gives him the life he now has. Rhino turns on him
Francis turned on Rick, Alan, John, Jeff, Matt..While keeping in with those who lick his arse
U2 cancel recording sessions if one of them can't be arsed showing. That's how a real band works.
As for the charity thing, I wonder if Francis actually knows about this and the emails Porter sent

Likewise, Alan & Rick are told John's gone & just shrug their shoulders & carry on as though nothing of any significance has occurred - a man they've worked with for 20 & 15 years respectively! |

What I would say about the above quote from your thread is the whole reason it happened the way it did is they just thought all those fans who had booked would just simply rollover and play possum. I bet you any money it was their legal team behind the scenes who advised them to cough up as you and anyone else who wad a refund were in the right legally 100%
I honestly do not think the Quo management would have cared less about Quo's reputation as they already know it not to far from the floor as it is and I would also say they know they are literally wringing every ounce of the band money wise out of the fans as it is and that this is a finite stage of Quo's history as all the doomsayers sandwich boards said THE END IS NIGH......... 
 Rick telling how it is I think some of the lyrics very apt concerning his departure...
Geoff.
