Wanderers fans decided to raise $1,000 to pay Mitch Nichols’ fine with the money now being raised for charity.
Upon hearing Mitch Nichols was fined $1,000 after the 5-4 semi-final win, Wanderers Member Nermin Bajric took it upon himself to ensure Nichols wouldn’t have to pay it alone.
Â
Â
Through crowd funding, the “Nickles For Nichols” campaign hit the $1,000 target in only eight hours.
Â
Â
After finding out about the campaign, Nichols was very thankful to the fans but insisted on paying the fine himself, asking the money raised to go to charity.
Â
Â
The campaign will stay open now with the goal to raise $2,000: enough for the Marc Arcuri Cup to purchase a defibrillator for a community club.
Â
Â
The Marc Arcuri Cup is a foundation that raises money to donate defibrillators to clubs around NSW, having raised $30,000 so far.
