Mediman Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think it’s great to give as long as we know about it. There’s nothing stopping anyone contacting any rider to make a personal donation if someone organises a fund then anyone can give or not according to their own thoughts. Lets not make any issues on this just be glad that people are donating. as an employer myself I would not like it if staff wanted to collect for another injured employee through the company It would prefer it if they did it privately as it sets a precedence . I know that I once wanted to arrange a staff collection at my football club for a player who broke his leg and was informed that they did not want it to be connected with the club in any way because of the above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris is getting both i think. There is a just giving type page set up, where the min you can donate is £2 and also getting a donation from REF as well. But a few Poole fans on twitter have said they are going to make their own donations to Stef as he should receive something! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still earning though and Nielson isn't, which is a shame. I'm not saying it's the reason Poole have decided not to help Nielson. As Stary said they can't help everyone..But you can throw thousands at Nielson and it won't help Poole, as he's crocked. I'm sure Bomber is chuffed and will give his all to help Poole win the title after the good will he has received. Yes I suspect you are right.

This pees me of a bit.Why is there a just giving page set-up for Harris when this is all part and parcel of his job.I would understand for Nielsen as he isn't earning.But Harris does always seem to moan about his machinery and now expects the fans to help him out.There's many,many people out there a lot less fortunate than Harris(money wise) but they don't go begging for money.Crikey how many people in the UK have a boiler mess up and have to pay thousands. We had it with Kerr before the start of the season,a page set up similar to get his bikes ready for the new season.Next thing on his twitter was he and his family are for a family holiday to Dubai.I'm sure Harris to will be enjoying a family holiday at some point,where again as many families in the UK won't be enjoying such a thing.

LisaColette Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 A Poole fan set the page up for Harris. Chris didn't do it himself. I don't even now if Chris knows about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am perfectly aware that Chris Holder became the The Invisible Man after an appearance at the P&P but as he wasn’t the subject of this discussion I guess you might have worked out that I was referring to Chris Harris. CH Chris Holder Chris Harris. Please dont abrieviate. Write who you mean. If that was me there would be 500 pages of what a prat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, Aviator said: Exactly my sentiments. All riders should be treated fairly by the club and it’s supporters. Nobody should be gifted special treatment. It happened last year and, it looks like it is going to happen again. Fans at all clubs will have their favourite riders - as indeed do sponsors! If a fan wants to give something to a rider then he/she will - including in this specific case setting up a Just Giving page for Chris Harris' repairs independent of what the club or the supporters club (REF) may or may not do. (Incidentally Chris knew nothing about this until informed by another supporter and promptly offered some of his merchandise to be given to selected donors.) Clearly as at Sunday evening 50 donors feel the same about Bomber and have so far raised £758 As for Stefan yes he may well 'deserve' a collection, but by the same token he probably had some financial support from SRBF which wouldn't have been available to Bomber. I guess if some fans or sponsors feel strongly enough about Stefan or any other rider then we can expect a number of Just Giving opportunities to crop up.

That’s almost certain but, he turned up for all of Poole’s matches and was the highest points scorer in 2017. Would have been a better bet for 2018 than The Invisible Man. For Starman that abreviates to “TIM”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
