Please help a Burnley fan in need
In October Mark Poole suffered a bad seizure in China. His health insurance is due to expire and it's going to cost £45k to get him home safely.
His daughter Danielle is fundraising via the link below and she's asked me to share it on here where you can also read the full story.

I've tweeted Alan Pace and asked him to share the link which would be a great help.

Re: Please help a Burnley fan in need
Don't be smart. People open their doors and attempt that every day!
Message me on Facebook - if you get a tweet sorted, I'll retweet it. Almost 3 million followers - but make it easy for people to donate. Don't make it so that people need to make an effort, else we've no chance.

Oh... Just remembered, Kylie Minogue follows me and many other celebs. Justin Bieber has retweeted in the past. A lot of the Hollywood stars follow my account, but thankfully the Donald Trump followers have gone.

Re: Please help a Burnley fan in need
No, I believe you might be involved with a twiter account with a huge following but as a contributor rather than an owner. Like I said its probably something like @fact but thats just my guessFactualFrank wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:04 pmMight have unfollowed me. You don't believe me, do you?
Even if im right there's no shame with just being involved with something so big and sounds interesting and more fun than a normal 9am-5pm

Good luck Fretters in raising the cash required

I already told him he could message me and I'd retweet it - that clue should give you Miss Marples an idea. He might be in bed, so he might get in touch tomorrow.

Which I would definitely be more than happy to do. The only downside is my audience is worldwide, but it's better than nothing.

Re: Please help a Burnley fan in need
So in our fanbase we have someone who helped start a war, a lad who can run faster than Ronaldo, and a person with millions of Twitter followers. Amazing.

Well done Fretters for highlighting this. Brilliant if FF can spread the word. Let's now all get behind a fellow claret in need. I've donated and hope the targets met.

I can vouch for this. Kylie Minogue also follows his personal account and she even retweeted him once. Mega.
Thanks Frank, I've just messaged you. And thanks to everyone who has donated.

Re: Please help a Burnley fan in need
Incorrect about what? I suggested you worked as a contributor to a Twitter page with a large following and guessed it might be @fact. I haven't seen anything to suggest that you run/own/manage a 3M Twitter account or that you started this account from scratch.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 12:47 pmDoes this mean Devils_Advocate can no longer post on the board after proving him incorrect?
I know someone who works on the social media team for British Airways and sends out Tweets for them. That doesn't mean they have 1.4m Twitter followers and BA could bin them off and stop them tweeting whenever they wanted.
You tell me what this Twitter account is and you share a Tweet on in about Mark Poole on there and I will be very impressed and give you a big well done but unfortunately it wont stop me posting on here
I've been straight up about not believing and unlike some others i've not tried to have a go at you about it and been quite positive. Bottom line is until I see the evidence I dont believe you
