Hmm, Charlie progressing a bit later against some LTA curve and they not keeping up?

It does look very poor.

Yes, but better in the Telegraph article that I posted - as it highlights the 'double-standards' of the LTA in a way that Stu Fraser fails to do, in his 'softer' version

And that was just my way of giving a bit more prominence to Charlie's Go Fund Me page. Clearly, however, you didn't read it that way.

The fundraiser has passed £5k now - quite a jump in the last few days. I was surprised to see that the fundraiser was set up on 23rd July

Good to see people donating! Tennis almost always has such a brutal start if you want a career in it.

Just posting this in a kindly way, SC, but Blue_Belle has a point smile

If you'd wanted to give it prominence, you could possibly have said: 'Yes, good luck to Charlie, hope people donate to his Go Fund Me page, it was interesting to read about him in the two press articles previously posted'

Doing it your way comes across rather more as 'I put that up first, you're late, it's already been talked about'

As said, it's meant kindly, just to show how some might read it

No need for anyone to google to find the link to his go fund me page. It has been on his player page for the last 2 weeks.

Blue_Belle was being helpful !!!!

Someone posted - does anyone have a link to the Go Fund Me page?

BECAUSE they wanted to donate !!!

They didn't know to go back God knows how many pages on the off chance it might be there already, or look at another thread, or whatever

So Blue_Belle put up the link again, to make their life easy - and made Charlie some money

it barely takes up any space and it's doing a public service

Hey BlueBelle - I know, I was making a poor attempt at irony.

There is a thing here. A lot of us dont read a lot of the content - we may dip in a page and read the last post but I certainly never read up the post thread. And miss a lot. Its easy, doesnt mean anything in terms of respect to the poster, busy lives, different interests etc.

But it is then very easy for the same link or content to get posted in more than one place. Its not a race and its not disrespectful and its totally an ok thing to do!

I hardly read any individual threads and not really Charlie Rs so would have missed whatever Lambda is commenting on. So good that BlueBelle posted something similar
