Jimbo has recently been targeting the England Supporters Forums and offering package holidays to the Nations League Finals in Portugal, costing the high hundreds per person. Jimbo really needs to be stopped at all costs. AC12 should be all over him.

What?! I told him a year or so ago to not go near the ESTC when he asked how easy it’d be to get involved. That’ll only go one way.

Is he really a fraudster or just some deluded guy who doesn't realise he's out of his depth?

Perhaps he could organise coach travel for Sunderland fans?

"Common knowledge" = some people on the internet have said he might have been jailed for fraud. Anyone got a link?

He memorised credit card numbers at TSYS and used them for fraudulent activities, allegedly

I’ve got mates that I’ve met on my travels with England, that follow other clubs (Leeds and Shrewsbury) who have told me they have received messages from someone claiming to be a Coventry City supporter who has a lot of experience organising matchday travel, offering packages to Portugal with the promise of tickets for both games in the Nations League - whether you have the caps or not. Prices circa £950 with a £300 deposit. I immediately told them to avoid at all costs - Mick Kinklade at SBA and Mark Griffiths at On The Ball are the only people I trust and value for unofficial packages or trips.

There’s some dodgy bastards that follow England and Jimbo, is trying to con them too.. dangerous territory and asking for a beating.

Charlton away this season. Basically he offered coach travel plus a boat ride on the Thames which was something like all you can drink for twenty quid. It turned out that it wasn't all you can drink but 5pound a pint, which pissed a lot of people off.

Then there's stories of some of the coaches not arriving.

Then there's stories about him organising trips to watch Barcelona which didn't materialise and left people out of pocket.

950 quid? Sounds about right. For flights, tickets to both games and a really nice Villa with a private pool we've paid around 250!

Never met the guy but It appears he uses this bumbling approach as a exit when things go wrong, given the form written on here and his previous I am not buying that for a minute anymore! I was feeling sorry for him at one point given the levels of abuse on FB around the boat issue but its clearly not the case, he knows what he is doing and has the front to keep doing it to city supporters.

Agreed. On the boat thread I thought he'd overstretched and was bloody stupid but hey, he wouldn't be the first to cock up in a big way.

No way any sane person would have another go, though! And as mentioned before, pick another group of people to piss off rather than angry football fans if you value your genitals!

there is no way that he didn't know that it wasn't free booze however so despite being out of his depth he knew what position it was going to put himself in! Just wouldn't put myself in that position on a boat for hours promising a piss up!!

I was on the banks of the Thames yesterday and thought of him
A scruffy pleasure boat with literally hundreds of Newcastle fans perched on the open deck was blasting out music while on their way to their match at Fulham
No doubt they were all on the sauce too
It was heavily overloaded like one of those ferries that you see in Third World countries

Well no, me neither. Tbf I'm trying to be charitable because things had gone... OK? before that? The stuff about the tours and flights not happening etc I only found out about during that thread - that didn't exactly reflect well, either.

Safe to say, he's heading for a nasty injury at this rate, though!

According to my friend who works at the Wallace, he's banned from there because of the amount of people after him, people who go in the pub have been threatened as have staff if they continue to allow him in. Hes a wanted man by many, not very nice people

His ex soon distanced herself when the shit hit the fan. Used to brag to anyone who would listen about how much money they made from the coaches and the pre season Alicante trips.
As soon as the threats came in she scarpered back to Doncaster. She’s a nasty piece of work
