Does anyone know what happened to the woman who got caught on the take from the supporters club? It's all been very quiet since the thefts were made public.

The sentence does seem incredibly lenient.

What's the point in putting someone in prison who has had to sell her house to repay the funds and is now moving abroad?
I'll bet she will regret this for the rest of her life!
Move on! And don't let it happen again!

It's a sad case, at least she paid back the money by selling the family home. Lucky to escape prison but I'm not sure what good it would have served to bang her up for a couple of years. The woman has lost her home and that a pretty tough punishment in itself. I think all the day-time TV ads for gambling and bingo sites should be banned and it feeds the type of addiction this woman suffered from.

I'm sorry, but because she sold her home AFTER she got caught doesn't mean she should walk scott free.
Where is the deterrent? All the judge is saying is, go ahead nick £176K(but don't get caught) If you do happen to get caught, just pay the money back and of you go, a little slap on the wrist.

I think all the day-time TV ads for gambling and bingo sites should be banned and it feeds the type of addition this woman suffered from. I actually think this is something that needs to be addressed in football as a whole. We have things like Tobacco advertising banned, but can have TV adverts, pitch hoardings and shirt sponsors galore promoting gambling and how easy it is to in-play bet.
it's easy to do, and easy to get sucked in with a quid here and a quid there during a match and suddenly you are down quite a bit
I like a flutter and am pretty sensible about it, but there have been occasions when I could have gotten carried away, or chased something, but have pulled myself back
Ray Wnston telling you to bang on that as Bet 365 stick tempting odds on screen is not a good thing

We don't know the full facts, what BRSC and their legal team argued (bearing in mind this is someone people have known for years and consider/considered a friend). In some ways this was more or less settled out of court between BRSC and Sandra

In a position of trust would have upped the gravity of the sentence, CPS should appeal the result, but sadly they won't, at least we got the money back.

"but what about admitting guilt" AFTER she got caught!!!! " remorse and the fact that she has lost her home to pay the club back." So that makes it OK then? Have a bit of insurance(the home) go and steal £176K, if no one notices yay were quids in. Get caught though, yay I still have my house as insurance, no jail for me.

Any evidence to suggest she was not locked up because she was a woman @gasheadgaz?
She made a mistake which was rectified. The club got its money back plus it's legal fees.

I haven't said it makes it right have I
I have simply said we don't know the full facts, what discussions were had before the case and what agreements were made other than the payment back to the SC.
There will be some on the SC committee and fellow fans who have known Sandra for years and years. Perhaps they don't want to see her go to jail, as she has lost her home, her football club and clearly has an addiction
The court has judged on the full facts and all the information.
What about the culpability of the SC it's self for not having sufficient protection and protocols? you didn't have to be a criminal mastermind to pull this off because there were no checks and balances in place
She was guilty, she has paid a price. Maybe that price isn't enough, maybe it is. But it has been dealt with and the SC has gotten it's money back.

I agree with the outcome and think because the money was returned in full the lady deserves a second chance in life especially at her age.

A mistake surely not, deceit and fraud over a period of time from a person in a position of trust with other people's monies, a prison sentence was justified, it was calculated not a one off, a lot of people in prison for more trivial crimes like pirating Dvd's.
