Wow! Surprised you guys are going ahead with Winter. A racist bigot who doesn't know when to shut up.

Maybe you should have provided a link to that story instead then.

To be fair there is a proven history of abuse and cover ups within the catholic church, he's on dodgy ground as hes in the public eye but its nothing you wouldnt hear jonny bloggs saying on the streets of barrow.

Is it something the Barrow FC trust are happy to be associated with then?.
For the record I'm a Wrexham fan who ventured onto this board prior to Saturday's game purely for a taster. To see Winter booked for a fundraiser with his background surprised me.
A couple of seasons ago Winter was booked for a Wxm FC "player of the season" event. Once his background came to light, the booking was cancelled in the interests of the community club image we are striving to avhieve. Winter wasn't happy and threatened legal action. He never did take any action and walked away.

People will be going to the event to listen to funny stories about his time in football, if he steps away from that and talks a load of racist crap I'm sure the trust and the people of Barrow will let him know he's crossed the line.

Hope this event is very well supported and is being organised by extremely decent, fair minded people.

You would have to ask the Barrow FC trust.
