Thank god for that.
To be honest if they had booked the most high profile,best speaker out there people would still come on here suggesting someone else.

They probably wouldn't but you know that.

There are still tickets available and we are delighted to announce we will be joined by former Bluebird Mark Boyd and BBC Radio Cumbria's James Phillips.

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

Although he is very wrong in what he has said there it's not really racist is it?

Hmmm! He was arrested in 2015 for racist comments made on Twitter.

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.

By which time the bigot will be cashing his cheque. Head in the sand spring to mind.

You would have to ask the Barrow FC trust.

Is this actually true? If so I'd be well up for it being a Stoke City fan!
