Yeah, I saw that yesterday. Fair play to Zane Powles, he deserves that. Well done to JS for getting on it, heartwarmingly refreshing stuff all round.

The title heading of this thread is very welcoming and encouraging.   Not something that happened in the previous 18 years here.

Fenty will be shuddering and holding his wallet tight  hearing about this  ;D

Our Jason is a really good guy what a change  8)

Not forgetting. Nathan of course.

👍👍👍

I’ve heard that Zane guy ain’t all he’s cracked up to be. I’m not saying another word on the matter.

You are not the first, nor the last to hear and know this…

Is he delivering pies at half time?

True, but is anyone?

I know Zane personally. Very nice and caring man. Very genuine, but even I laughed when I saw his tweet tagging GTFC. He was clearly hoping for a reaction from the club, which is what he got.

Where do the club stop? Do they offer ST to that father and son who saved a man's life down Freeman Street last week.

They are making a rod for their own back

There are plenty of people who do good in their community, not all of them seek the spotlight like this guy…..just saying

You’ll always be able to find the negatives in any person, any situation. Nobody’s perfect. I don’t personally know Zane but he no doubt played his part during COVID. His actions naturally garnered attention and I think that’s what bothers a lot of people. It makes me laugh that WBJ veiled dig, comes from somebody who’s anguish of not being recognised, for coming up with the “sponsor a player” idea is sadly clear to see. Why can’t we just celebrate the fact one of our own has been recognised for his work in the community, without the jibes aimed at tarnishing a positive story?

It's a lovely story, people are quick to criticise but not many would jump forward themselves to take on such a mammoth task.

Good on Jason too for recognising such positive community service!

Who?

When Jason and Andrew took over they talked about a community club. Giving season tickets like this proves that they are doing what they said they would do.

This not about the recipient but the vision Jason and Andrew want us to go with. If there are other worthy people I feel sure that a brief description of their achievements would get a similar result.

I don't know Zane Powles but does it matter if he isn't the bloke he appears? What's he done wrong anyway ?

But what I do know is he did a hell of a lot to deliver meals to kids during lockdown every single day, making sure the kids never went hungry.

I do think he was probably looking for a reaction by tagging GTFC but he deserves some thanks for what he did.

That was Les's idea wasn't it?





;)

I've never heard of him and my lawyers have requested that I offer no further comment.

I think there has been a distinct humour bypass.

Those who need to know.......know.

You seem to forget that I was the one who originally suggested and then organised the fundraiser that raised about £7k. I did that for everyone. I wanted no thanks. I turned down numerous offers of interviews from various media, including a national newspaper, because it wasn't about me in any way, shape or form.

My few comments to Les were all very much tongue in cheek, and both he, and others are very aware of that.

What happened to that 7k? I can't remember seeig where it ended up?

It was all above board and made it to 2 charities I believe. This has been asked before and it was definitely all above board.

It was split 50/50 between the Samaritans and CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). Ollie asked the family of his friend who they wanted the money to go to.

Bloody hell, the bloke almost had a daily column in the GET.

I work in education and there are countless others who went above and beyond, who are earning a third of what he does.

Thank you, I didn't know that,  I must have missed how it was split up. Well done Mr Strap.
