It is good news and like some said a change of focus for the lads, really strange on here at the moment, still feeling numb and very much saddened by this. Just reading a post before and i thought of a rather witty reply which made me smile a little as i was typing, needless to say it didnt get replied to as it just does not feel right, felt rather guilty for even thinking it.

that's what this forum is about enjoying the banter,
when toppo and adam passed away it was gut wrenching for me, I didn't post for days, then found it hard to even reply to the simplest of posts,
you shouldn't feel guilty,
I know we are all not the same but I wouldn't want anybody to feel that they couldn't have a laugh and a joke on me

I know what you are saying, just does not feel right when you think of what his family must be going through right now, they say you can not imagine what it is like to lose a child until it happens, my youngest was in hospital the other week for 2 nights with a nasty asthma attack and i dont mind saying i was a bloody wreck and scared to death. Thinking of that just makes me even more sad for his parents for what they are going through which frankly no parent ever should.

Agree 100% there is nothing to prepare you for it. My mum is in remission for breast cancer at the moment so i know a bit of what she is going through good luck to your sis mate and hope she can beat it, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Death is a very strange thing that it is the only thing that you can be sure of happening to you from the day you are born and yet when it arrives it leaves the people around you in a total mess.

she is doing very well been over a year now, we laughed the other day as she has had to lose a lot of weight and she had to have a new boob made, my lad is playing in the pink strip at stanley rangers and was due to walk out with the team on friday night, whether this goes ahead now I don't know,
this was going to be announced that the community trust was the main sponsors for us, we may have to wait now

Don't be, if it helps you to talk about it amongst friends then no one will mind

It'll be very tough going for him, starting at a new club in a new country at this very sad time, but I think the other players will welcome his arrival as a positive distraction.

It's going to be a lot for a young man to take on, but I'm sure the club and the fans will help him and he'll help us in return.

Welcome to Wakey, Frank, and good luck!
