[Albion] Andy aka The Other One gofundme

[Guinness Boy]

Seen a few posts on here about financial assistance for the lads who were stabbed in Rome.

While Jack was fully insured and is not out of pocket Andy wasn’t and has incurred costs for stolen goods and lost passport.

I’m going to set up a gofundme page for NSC to help out but I need a few details before I do.

For now I’m going to stick this and prevent replies. It’s just a post so people know we’re doing it. Once I have all the details I need I’ll open up replies and post the link.

Cheers

Bozza & GB

Please note:

1) The target is £500. If that is met I will close it. If it is not then whatever we can do is fine. So...
2) There is no obligation at all. Donate if you want, don't if not. But please no binfestry. Let's keep this thread civil please
3) I've invited Andy to be a beneficiary. What that means is he'll add his bank details and get paid directly. I don't see a penny.
4) The banner on the page is SHIT. Photos are mandatory to set it up and it wouldn't resize my jpg properly. Deal with it.

We are specifically covering the following things:

Replacing Andy's expenses for stolen money, stolen AirPods, emergency passport.
A gift to the kind restaurant in Rome who assisted them.
A small donation to helpers and charities (@Bozza has suggested a knife crime charity which we will look into).

Just to be clear medical fees were covered by GHIC

Thank you to everyone on the other threads who suggested this. This was your idea. We're just helping to make it happen.

Cheers

Have bunged in a tenner. But not impressed. An EHIC card is free and grants you access to the same medical rates as locals. And if you can't be arsed to do that, then bog standard medical insurance for a 3 day euro-trip costs less than 20 quid.

Basically educate yourself. You might think bad stuff only happens to other people. But guess what? You are other people. Ask anyone uninsured who came off a moped in Thailand. Their families need to Gofund tens of thousands of pounds to get their loved ones home.

Basically don't be a dick. If you can afford the flights and accomodation, then you can afford the insurance. NSC won't always be there to pick up your medical bills.
And... RELAX

None of the money is needed for medical bills according to @GB’s post which specifically states they were covered

Seriously doubt many - if anybody - would have considered funding the guy for 'stolen goods and lost passport'. Can I get my tenner refunded?

Also if they got stuck into an Ambulance they don't always take them to a public hospital anyway.

GHIC/EHIC only works at public facilities so it's not always a case of someone being ignorant to the rules etc.

But yes, working in Travel Insurance and seeing the horror stories of people who end up not being covered, please always get it.

Post 2 says explicitly what it’s for and that you don’t have to donate. Post 1 was me misunderstanding something, hence my clarification on post 2.

If you want your tenner back come and find me at a game and I’ll give you it myself - and tell everyone why.

Great work, happily donated.

Did you really need to say all this?

It was definitely clear what we were giving towards when I donated (before your post).

The guy's been stabbed and robbed. He hasn't asked for anything from us, and he's not expecting NSC to pick up his bills. Some people just wanted to help out and @Guinness Boy gave us a safe way to do that.

Yes, people should get insurance, but having a go at someone who didn't, after something has happened to them, is pretty low imo.

I don't feel any less sympathetic with what he's experienced, just because he wasn't insured. If you do, maybe there's a kinder way of expressing it?

Grump over.

Your apologies for post #1 are accepted. Please redirect my tenner to the good folks you highlight in post #2. Ta

Done. Hate what happened to those 2 and happy to chip in to at least mean there's no financial losses. Btw, very impressed with their spirit and good humour in dealing with it, as things could certainly have been far worse.
A credit to Brighton fans, methinks.

I donated £200 and want my money back. Where can we meet?
