Slightly off topic, but whenever I try to look at twitter/X accounts in the last few days, the posts are in random order and I can't see the most recent one. Seems to be a known issue but I can't work out how to corrct it. Any ideas? Delete your account Not my account, if I try to look at other people's. If I try Rovers' it brings up tweets from 2022.

Maybe Nick Anderton prefers the fund raising to be kept low key, hence JB firstly referring vaguely to "a cherity" as the beneficiary? Not everybody feels the need to shout about what they've done/how much money they've raised, from the rooftops. I don't find it in the least embarassing to raise money for somebody who finds themselves in Nick's position.

You are correct Tilly, many are the folk who go quietly about raising money or doing good deeds , they do not feel they have to justify their actions nor do they seek plaudits or praise for doing so, it's only when people start to question their motives that they feel it necessary to put the record straight, some folk can't accept that there are people who are just inherently kind ,their only motive being to help someone, or that even flawed characters as many of us are ,including JB, are capable of doing good deeds.

That was my first thought when he announced it was for Nick. How much did he raise? How was that given to Nick? Do we get to see one of those big cheques?Have you witnessed any payments from the club to Nick ? No ? So why would Joey produce one when banks don't even issue cheque books anymore I think you might be over thinking it. I was referring to those big cheques that get handed out in charity events. As this is a 'charity' donation then surely we will see the big cheque. I see no reason why JB shouldn't be proud about the money he raised on twitter and Shout from the rooftop how much he raised for Nick.

brilliant comment, keen to see the moaners response to this Moaners? From my perspective raising money from a transaction that lands into a personal bank account, funds raised predicated upon an EMPLOYED role with an organisation that owns the intellectual property being charged for is "ill considered", at best. Embarrassing because the link to N Anderton was only made AFTER Barton announced this scheme. I accept he did say a proportion would go to charity at the outset, but he never mentioned which or what percentage. That would have been easier and made the scheme more marketable if he had linked Anderton, surely. I have never worked in an organisation where this guff would have been allowed to happen. I suspect (without any evidence) that the new Kuwaiti executive may agree which, if true, bodes well. Presumably this is all taxable income at a higher rate. JB must be raking it in, I can see him now in his vault room of money swimming about. You are right though, anyone that does anything linked to charity should be slammed. I wont give to any cancer charity until i get cancer.

Chicken or Egg. Did he set it up to raise money for Nick or was that an after thought? That was my first thought when he announced it was for Nick. How much did he raise? How was that given to Nick? Do we get to see one of those big cheques? Non of your business is it - JB knew NA a lot better than you, me and anyone else on this forum and I am sure he is doing his best for him.

Another ill considered and not thought through act, now cancelled. Embarrassing. Or he just did it for a limited amount of time to raise money for Nick? It's possible to overthink these things. Then he could have simply just made that clear, simple enough. People have been saying the BBC have not been reporting on us, could be tit for tat, we will see
