[tinycowboy]

RIP Sarah - you fought for the club we love. Thank you.

 

[Driver8]

Same age as me which is sobering. RIP Sarah.

 

[Seasidesage]

Very sad to hear that. RIP

 

[Tooting Gull]

Very sorry and sad to hear that news. Condolences to Sarah's family and friends, RIP.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Dreadful news, so sad, thanks for all you have done for the Albion. Soar above the Amex.

 

[Gritt23]

Dreadful news. As has been said by others, she was not someone I knew personally, but was one of the familiar faces you'd always see no matter how grim things had got, or often how obscure and unattractive the away ground was you'd be visiting.

RIP.

 

[Bozza]

Terribly sad news - Sarah gave so much of herself so that others could enjoy the Albion.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

A true fan who was prepared to stick her head above the parapet. We are in your debt, as we are for your Albion friends and family who must be devastated at this sad news. Enjoy the view from the big stand in the sky.

 

[burrish-gull]

How terribly sad, I used to stand next to her and Liz Costa in the West Stand at The Goldstone, she was a true Albion supporter who did so much for the club. RIP Sarah

 

[KNC]

Sad news. R.I.P

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Very sad news - thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family.

 

[brightonbutterfly]

Very shocked, I didn't know that she was ill. Dreadfully sad news. I too knew Sarah from the Goldstone. RIP Sarah and thank you.

 

[Dandyman]

Condolences to her family and friends. A true Albion fan.

 

[BensGrandad]

A true Seagull has passed

I hope the club mark her passing in an appropriate way.

A minutes applause before the Arsenal game as it coincides with what have been her 50th birthday would be appropriate.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Another one taken too soon. I had heard from friends that she had been unwell for some time, but still a shock. One of the Supporter's Club newsletters said that she had very strong religious beliefs which had helped her come to terms with her illness. RIP Sarah

After courageously battling cancer for several months, Sarah sadly passed away earlier today.

There are so few words that one can say - Sarah was a loyal Albion fan who spent thousands of hours campaigning, marching, emailing, supporting, protesting, organising, writing, delivering, speaking, debating all things Albion. A key part of the FFA team and secretary of the Supporters' Clubs - she joins Roy in looking down on us.

All too soon, all too cruel.

Rest in peace Sarah. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family and friends.

We will never forget.

Sad, sad news. R I P Sarah.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Very sad news. Sincere condolences.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

RIP Sarah. Condolences to the family.

 

[Ernest]

Terrible news, I've known her since the early 80's when we were going on the supporters coach on the way to Wembley.

RIP Sarah

I don't think it would be at all unreasonable to request a minutes applause (49th) during the Brentford game.

She is amongst the most deserving.

That is so noddy, a proper minutes applause or silence before the match would be a far superior tribute
