As you well know, it was originally to buy more fan shares in Portsmouth, but half was given to charity instead.
This probably doesn't sit well with your raison d'etre, but that's effectively Pompey giving money to charity!!
Krueger makes me laugh, he's clearly so far out of his comfort zone he thinks doing a charity bike ride might take the heat off him. He'll be found out soon. He has no commercial experience at all. You wouldn't employ him in your business I'm sure...unless you were looking for a failed ice hockey coach I guess.
Well done to the two lads.
Something we can all be proud of.
As I understand, it was promoted as a charity event, with the majority of funds going to pay players wages. Classy.
As for Freddie being out of his depth, quite how you can claim this to be the case without even two months of him being in the job I have no idea. Unlike po**ey, we do the majority of our business behind closed doors. However, when we do things publicly, it tends to be something commendable, like Freddie's involvement in a charity bike ride, where 100% of the funds donated will end at there intended charitable target.
I can understand how this approach conflicts with your raison d'Aatre, but each to their own.
"Our bike ride was originally planned to raise money to buy community shares in PCFC as part of the final push for shares before the share issue ended at the end of April. However we were made aware of a young lad called Jack Robinson and decided we wanted to help this young boy too.
Jack and his identical twin brother Liam were born on the 7th June 2009. On 24th January 2014 Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumour. They operated on the tumour, but could not fully remove it.
Unfortunately after a brave fight Jack passed away just after midnight on April 1st. In Jacks memory, 50% of the total we raise will be split 3 ways between Naomi House and the ward at Southampton General hospital that both helped care for Jack as well as a donation to Brain Tumour research.
The other 50% will be used to buy community shares in PCFC to be held by Pompeys12thMan alongside the 20 that have already been purchased which was always the original aim of the 300 mile/3 day cycle challenge.
We original
As has been said before, any fund raising for the charities mentioned is to be commended. Both are extremely worthy causes.
It's sad they won't be receiving all of the funds raised though, as paying players wages is hardly a worthy cause by comparison.
However, any donations that may be made to the said charities will I'm sure be gratefully received.
As for Freddie, he's making a promising start as far as Saints fans are concerned and more importantly he's certainly no back street property developer looking to made a fast buck for himself.
Good interview from shaw, he seems like such a level headed lad & knows the right thing to say!
Nope, he's a failed ice hockey coach who probably can't believe how he's landed this job.Quote:
