Everton donate 200k for Bradley

[larbert toffee]

In fairness, and I don't know this, it has all the feeling of Bill Kenwright.

RK congratulated the Chairman for the gesture.

When you are Chairman of a club I guess you place your head on the chopping block Bill, rightly or wrongly gets a fair amount of stick from quarters on GOT, IMHO I don't think he is the worst and if it was him that sanctioned the gesture then he should be applauded for it, I believe that is the best 200k we have ever spent, put it into context it is a months wages for Niasse.

Well done Everton. Class act as ever. We are up there next. Hope we do the same.

You're more than welcome to donate 200G to the bairn's fund. As to the three points, you can do one.

Lovely gesture from the club

All the best to the young lad

Brilliant from Everton that.

Makes me proud - let's pray the treatment is succesful

I've had a soft spot for Sunderland since we relegated them in 77. They had the best away support I've ever seen at Goodison, felt terrible when we sent them down

Chelsea fan here.

Just wanted to hop on and say what an incredible gesture that is from Everton Football Club, absolute class acts.

Set an example that every other club should follow.

Well done Everton!

Its what we do at Everton,now make it a better week by beating you know who on Friday night

The SSN presenter (don't know his name) was clearly moved as he announced this at the top of the hour.

As I posted on another forum this is a small gesture for a major "corporation" which nevertheless illustrates that Everton has not forgotten that it is a "club" of ordinary people.

The players who wear the shirt will no doubt do their bit for Bradley, but this should also humble them and make them understand what being Everton is all about.

Dean, Lawton, Farrell, Eglinton, Hickson, Labone, Kendall, Ball, West, Speed, Ablett would all approve.

Some Sunderland fans on their SMB forum saying they'd like to give something back once Bradley is all sorted with his trip and treatment, around the return game at GP. I don't know if we should ask since that's not why I/we donated - but if anyone more involved with it than I am wanted to tell them about EitC or the former players' foundation then I don't see the harm.

Brilliant. It would be interesting to know who actually made the decision though.

Does it matter. tho mate ?

 

[bflefc]

anyone know why it was specifically 200k we donated?

I believe we matched what the current level was at that time - someone told me it was about 210k, so we pledged 200k to effectively double it.
