My dads last game V Blackburn

[downham seagull]

With all that's wrong in the football world it's these kind of stories that binds us football folk together with a kind that is hard to be replicated in many forms of life. So pleased you had a great day!

So sorry to read about your Father. I'm glad he had such a great day out, and that the boys got a win for him. Thank you for sharing with us!

This shows what being a community club is all about. A wonderful gesture by the club, staff and Bobby. I wish you both more happy memories in the time you've got left together.

Very sorry to hear of your dads illness, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Very well done to our club on giving your dad a fabulous day and memories to treasure.

What a sad yet heartwarming story. To see you and your dad in those photo's brings a tear to my eye and I'm a cyncial ******* at the best of times. Best wishes to you and your family...

Couple of great pics there, the ones with Bobby Z and Mullers which you will be no doubt be having enlarged and framed at some point. I used to think the concept of a 'community stadium' was just something to help the planning permission come about, but this week in particular we have the proof that we are indeed a community club as well.

Would just like to share a few pics & memories with you all on NSC as yesterday's game V Blackburn will be the last time my dad will enjoy the pleasure of going to the Amex, but what a way to go out,
Can not thank the club enough for the most beautiful day imaginable
Just last week my dad was told he had a rare form of brain cancer and had a few months to live, on hearing this news the family were left shattered
But what a massive boost we all got this week was a message from the club saying we'd all be treated to a VIP day at the Amex V Blackburn, I've never known in all my life a greater hospitality than what we received today, it was beyond belief
4 course Meal,free Bar, best seats in the house, tour of stadium, met Alan Mullery Bobby Zamora Inigo Calderon Liam Rosenier
Big thanks to Everyone at the club, the most emotional day of our lives which you all made very special
Xx

Fantastic treatment

I bloody love our Football Club

Delighted you had a great day.

 

[Craven Wine]

Nice one from the club. Sometimes the silver lining is a good distraction from the unpleasant stuff in life..

 

[cunningplan]

Thank you for sharing. We all share the same love of this wonderful club and I found your post deeply moving. Ironically, given the unhappy circumstances, it was also life affirming and positive!
All the very best in the days and weeks to come.

L, I am so sorry to hear that. I was wondering why I hadn't seen you in your usual seat on Saturday. Wouldn't have expected it would have been for that reason.
Hope you enjoyed the day mate and looks like the club did you proud.
I know you are a brickie through working with you, but I also know that you're Dad, Bob, , was a brickie subcontractor and although I never worked for him I've heard he was one of the best.
Cherish every moment L. All the best. Hope to see you soon. G.

Lovely touch by our beloved club and thanks for sharing.
Enjoy every moment you can with him.

Shattered by this very sad news and my heart goes out to Dad, you and your family. I will always remember the many afternoons me and your Dad spent together on the sidelines of county grounds, proudly watching our lads playing for Southwick FC. I am so pleased the club gave you both a special day. Your dad is a true gentleman and knowledgeable football fan.

When I think back to all the games of football I played over 20 years playing for Sussex, Southwick,Horsham,Shoreham,Worthing,Adur,fishersgate,Brighton boys,Brighton youth, Kings Manor,manor hall,manor 30, hove dynamos, station Hotel, Woodmancote, South Coast Tavern & The Windmill( more clubs than Tony Jacklin) I can count on one hand the games that my dad wasnt watching from the sidelines
