[Archived] Pains me to write this

[Stefan Hedgehog]

My nephew holds several world records in endurance running whitch he does for servicemen charities.You may remenber he was on roversplayer giving a talk to the squad 2 seasons ago.GB urged all the players to sponsor him on his next world record.Paper money was GB word not coins.well our Dave was promised 4 figures by our heros net payed zero.This is not about venkys jerome or kean.This about guys who earn a fortune who give nothing.

[glen9mullan]

did they officially sponsor him , ( sign a sponsorship form ?)

[Stefan Hedgehog]

Im not sure glenn im just back from a 4yr trip.his brother told me the tale again today i did contact GB seretary after 6 months had gone by but to no avail.

[T J Hooker]

"4yr trip" that's some holiday!(or the mushys are good round your end)

footballers are 99% keaners, stuff their money, your nephew should be proud of his achievements regardless.

If someone promised to pay they should pay

However what people earn is utterly irrelevant

You really should have got all the facts together before going public such as which players and how much did each one promise and did the individual players sign a sponsorship form. I wonder if GB sponsored? It's hard to think that all those who promised have reneged when asked to pay up, surely there must be the odd decent one. Good luck to your Nephew!

The facts are they let him down.most of his runs you pledge on the net.the chat he gave the team is still on roversplayer but I cant link it help,

I'm on your Nephew's side. If they pledged they are honour bound to pay - the problem being that there is little honour among thieves or it seems footballers.

He should get this story to the LT - its going to come to GB and the players attention I'm sure.

Im not sure our dave would go 4he local rag as he is a mad rovers fan.

I don't see the point of putting this on a public forum, what are you trying to achieve Stefan?

You have absolutely no idea if the players give to charity or not.

I'm not sticking up for them in any way as I don't know the facts, but sponsorship and giving is up to the individual and nobody, regardless of the size of the pay packet, should have to give.

Reading between the lines its probably more about forgetting to go online and pledge money, rather than not bothering on purpose.

Good lad, that explains it

Well Stefan my old chum I have no idea, which is why you shoudn't post it on a public forum, just a thought.

Firstly, well done to your brother on his work. However, I don't think they're ignoring him, I just think they've not managed to be reached yet (communication wise). It's the middle of summer, meaning they'll be all over the world. G.B. is probably the only one down at Brockhall right now.

The current squad, although wind us all up with the dross they sometimes serve up, don't strike me as those that would purposely p*** off the fans. Bar Leon Best, Bowyer has thankfully moved those players on.

Has he actually contacted them recently by the way? 2 years is a long time.

They can't make donations during the embargo.
