Next Home Game - Collection for Puerta's family?

[sonic youth]

casting assumptions based on absolutely nothing concrete is a bit harsh.

i wasn't i was enquiring...

Puerta was one of Sevillas best players and a spanish international, and u would have thought a millionaire by now, his family like someone said wud be looked afta by Sevilla anyway. What about the lad from Walsall? he was sixteen, would have thought his family are no better off than any of us, why not do it for someone who needs it

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Good call

[reeves4england]

I think it would be a bit pointless raising money for his family. He must have been on a decent sum at Sevilla and without wanting to sound insensitive, what the hell has it got to do with STFC?

I agree that the Walsall player would be a more worthy cause, but would argue that that one should be left to Walsall themselves

If as individuals people want to donate something then they could either contact Walsall and ask if they have a fund, or make a donation to a charity like The British Heart Foundation.

There were a couple of longstanding STFC fans who passed away suddenly last season. All of us sympathised, and our thoughts went to the families. But was there an appeal? Whether there should or should not have been, the point is because the tragedy is of a higher profile, and one of several recently, that doesn't mean an appeal for someone comparatively distant from us is the way to go.
