Fair play to Dale Vince for his gesture of support also.
It's just been announced that the club have tracked down Joe and they are working with GWR Reds and Food Swindon to setup a food bank donation point at the CG.
I'm not sure they have as it reads '' With Joe sending his letter to the club, and the struggles that many families have'' It doesn't read to me that they've located this person (if they actually exist).

The club initially tweeted that Joe had been in touch. That tweet has now been deleted and replaced with the one you refer to above.

I presume they were getting lots of traffic about who Joe was etc and realised the error of their ways!

Can they also both the kid and mum be flanking McKirdy folding their arms and looking mightily pissed off whilst stood outside a food bank that a local Tory MP has closed...or something?! I "hope" it's real.

Don't worry, not only have I tracked Joe down, I've given him a retro replica shirt too.

Surely this story is just utter bollocks and it is an embarrassment that we have made the BBC with it. Joe, 6 1/2. Sending 26p! It should have been treated like the hoax it is to not undermine genuine poverty in the community.

Watching Reading FC step up a gear & leave us behind 20 years ago wasn't easy. Pleased to see that - just maybe - that period may be coming to an end now. They've never been quite the same since Madejski sold up.

Being reported in the Torygraph that Bristol City are facing a 7 point deduction, too.
