Great idea, deserves backing.
But just seen a Norwich fan has donated and is urging other Norwich fans to do the same, to quote their Twitter post " have donated £40 today. We should help those less fortunate and #itfc fans are certainly that".
His or her intentions may be honest but not sure this is a path we want to go down.
"We helped fill your ground" etc.
I might be being paranoid of course. |  |

Just saw it’s reached 7k of donations which is impressive. Although obviously people are free to donate to whatever cause they like, getting someone to a football match doesn’t appear to as obviously worthy as giving to a food bank or a cancer charity. |
I think it's a wonderful Christmas gift to someone who might otherwise have a miserable Christmas time. I'd have gone myself if I was in the UK so I'll gladly pay for someone else to go in my place. [Post edited 15 Nov 2021 12:12]

Not suggesting anything negative, but more for his 'protection' you'd want a public link for people to donate through.
Would increase donations too imo, but definitely credit to all involved. |
Also curious how the tickets will be distributed or how people in need apply for them. |  |

Will be done through Dan Palfrey and others at the club. He's said he has contacted them and they are going to distribute them |  | | |

If he's just done it for the bantz then that's a rather expensive bit of bantz. More fool him. |
Expensive and very very odd. | |

don't JustGiving take a percentage fee (c2% + 20p per donation I think)? Maybe he's trying to make sure that all of the money raised goes to the cause? |
I work in charity and while they do take a small fee it's easily worth it to avoid all the potential challenges of managing the money yourself. For an individual probably without a spare bank account to keep the money aside, Justgiving would be a great way to do this. The list of individuals who set up a great idea and then ended up with a load of cash they couldn't then effectively spend is sadly rather long.
PS I think this is a good idea, just think it would be better to have the money raised through a reputable source. He'll probably raise more money that way as well. [Post edited 15 Nov 2021 14:55]

I think he deserves a lot of credit, this will be loads of admin, loads of effort and fact he's happy to do is a good thing |
yeah, you can criticise him for a few things at times but this is a really good gesture from him. Fantastic work. |  | | |

I'm not a huge fan of Talking Town but fair play to Cruncher on this (and the others involved) |  |
