Monty Towers of the Middlesbrough Disabled Supporters Association called charges "just wrong"

"Out-of-the-blue" banking charges on non-profit organisations are unfair, a support group for disabled football fans has said.

Middlesbrough Disabled Supporters Association (MDSA24) was informed by Lloyds Bank that its previously free treasurers' account was changing, with the new account incurring a maintenance fee of £4.35 a month, plus increased transaction charges.

MDSA24 member Monty Towers said the money spent on bank charges could be spent on improving facilities, a new minibus, "or paying for a disabled fan to attend a special event".
