I’m not clever enough to work out how paste a picture in this thread.
If anyone has the Current Bun today, Alan Nixon column page 59 can do it for me.
No reason not to believe the story and worthy in my opinion of a thread.
Reads “ Boss Joey Barton dipped into his pocket to give Bristol Rovers cancer-hit defender Nick Anderton a boost.
Barton paid for him to join a pre-season trip to Portugal after he had medical tests.”
That for me says all you need to know about the blokes character these days. Well done Joey.

I also read this on Sky Sports News.
Also have no idea how to add pictures.

Interesting o p.
There's always going to be a periphery, but i m o JAB on field (which requires just as much off field) actions has galvanised most of the fanbase with the playing squad.
Off field is debatable.
We appear a more united fanbase judging by snippets away from here in the real world. Just by talking and listening to pre match anticipation as opposed to post match hype. JAB has to take some credit for this and is indeed atm out stand out, as well as stand up guy.
What he done for NA is decent. That's virtue of being empathetic human being. I think most of us would have acted similarly in circumstances..... whether it was made public, some of us would contemplate that. (?)

Hang on a minute - why on earth aren't the club paying for this??? "Sorry Nick, as you missed the flights to go get your cancer tests you can't come now". Wtf???

Um ....because, perhaps maybe just thinking out loud shooting from the hip kinda thing: This isn't the club we recognise....? Which has been alluded to here, subtly, on more than one occasion in different threads. I'm not surprised. |

Some posters on a win-win here.
Criticise JB for making it public (whether he did or not).
Failing that, criticise the club for not doing it.
Who needs facts?

Not sure it matters how it came out.
If true, good on Joe.

Not sure anyone is criticising JB, just finding it a bit shocking that he had to pay for the flights, although who's leaking this type of info to Nixon and what are they hoping to achieve? |

This is a non story. There were other members of staff who couldn’t fly out due to other issues and the club paid for their flights out later. So nothing to do with the club not wanting to pay for andertons flights.

So nothing to do with the club not wanting to pay for andertons flights. So you're suggesting JB paid even though he didn't have to, sorry but that doesn't make any sense. The club should now do the decent thing and publicly confirm they are meeting the flight costs. |

I’m saying the club paid for others to fly out later who wernt intending on going so to suggest the club wouldn’t pay for Anderton is wrong and just trouble stirring. Fair play to joe for paying regardless. |

Who knows why or JB paid…. Reason he did could have been anything even that the club’s medical insurance wouldn’t cover it so there was a risk premium to pay …. Who knows… before people jump on the let’s criticise someone for something no matter what, why can’t they just take it at face value and say what a decent gesture…

Has it occurred to anyone that JB just wanted to pay for Nick as a personal gesture of support? it may have had nothing to do with the club not paying .

I thought Nick flew out with the others who went from London, isn't that him 2nd right at the front of the photo, looks like his sleeve. I've deleted the pic as it related to the trip to Dubai - my bad!

Did the club pay for any of the players? I'm sure there was something mentioned after the last promotion where Wael was not allowed to fund the players trip to Vegas - or did I imagine that?
