Following a choke of momumental proportions, a salty Brisbane Roar filed a complaint against Western Sydney Wanderers' midfielder, Mitch Nichols, who 'gestured' at opposition fans after WSW came back from a 3-0 deficit to win semi final #2 5-4.



The FFA, with a history of knee-jerk reactions on the back of media outrage, sanctioned Mitch Nichols. Among his penalties is a $1000 fine.



Nichols played a big part in WSW' 2015/16 season. This fund raiser aims to bring justice to an unfair and unjustified penalty.



In thanks to Nichols for his impact in the season past, we ask WSW fans to donate $2 ✌️ each to cover Nichols' ridiculous penalty.



The money will be used to cover Nichols' $1000 fine (and whatever charges GoFundMe asks), with the additional funds to be invested into community/charity initiatives. Full transparency will be provided for every dollar received.



Update 10/05/16: Mitch Nichols has elected to pay his own fine and use this money to donate to a local charity - the Marc Arcuri Cup. This fundraiser will be extended for another week or two with the objective of doubling up and raising $2000 - enough to purchase one defib for a local football club.



Once this GoFundMe has been completed, Nichols will meet with the founders of the Marc Arcuri cup and present a cheque equal to the value raised.
