BS4 on Tour... Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Fair play to our ex player - his first club Hillingdon Borough was going bust until he stepped in to save them with his own cash.

Unan Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 This publicity was probably cheaper than paid advertising. "Hillingdon chairwoman Dee Dhand told the Mirror: "When Bolasie heard the news, he got in contact to offer us his moral support. "He's always thinking of us and has a lot of respect for the club. He wanted to find out what was happening and how he could help. "But it's not a financial issue. We own our ground and generate funds from hiring our facilities. We just feel there's a lack of support for the club and non-league football in general." What has he done then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does the cash bit come into it? Do you really think they'd thank him publicly and use the hashtag #HailYannick if he'd just phoned them up? And the media reporting, 'it's unclear the figure contributed by Bolasie...' and Bolasie himself saying "I just wanted to chip in.." You ain't gotta be in MI5 to realise some cash was involved.....especially as Sky Sports News said so too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
