I just read the Adver and sadly another Town fan has died. The club are going to hold a roll call of those connected with Town who have died this season followed by a minute's applause at the last game v Brentford. Having lost a few people recently and being a lot nearer the grave than my birth I thought this was a fantastic idea. What a wonderful gesture by the club and how thuoghtful.
I love the Board we have - they're proper people.

Yeah Nick Watkins seems a decent guy and Fitton has his head screwed on.

RIP all you fallen Robins !

Two words:  Family Club.

We've not been one of those for a while.  Nice touch by the Board.

That's a great gesture by the club and a real recognition of the departed fans.

All of the board members that i've met,have always been happy to talk to everybody,
especially at away games.It's very much appreciated.

I lost my Dad yesterday and have to say my mind is all over the place.

Will take my seat tomorrow as usual but will have my little boy with me but its going to be emotional.
The wine tonight may be doing the trick and help me sleep but tomorrow the result will be less important for once. (I'm sure you will understand only for me though).

It's the same road, time etc tomorrow like it has been for the past 35 years back to Mums and Dads for dinner and on to the game. This time my Dad will not be there at home but sure will be in my heart.

Wine and fucking tears and maybe regret posting something private.

The CG is home for an Oxfordshire boy since 1975 and you are the family.

Many condolences Banbers.

I've been through it as well and all I can say is to keep hold of the memories so that they stay clean and fresh forever.

Here's to a win tomorrow, eh?

Sometimes you just need to share things in order to not tear yourself up, even if it is on the internet with people you don't really know.

My thoughts are with you anyway chap, it's horrible losing your dad. I hope tomorrows rituals bring back some great memories.

Deepest condolences Banbury. Thats probably the most emotive thing I've read on here. Very sorry for your loss. Don't forget that you Dad is still there in you and your son. Keep your chin up mate.

I see the same faces of fans home and away no one knows me and I know no-one but despite this our club is our centre point and those around me have a common interest and in that forms a bond, a common interest.

It is only a football club some would say but with that comes an emotional bond and joins us all together and when someone close to the cub dies we should honour them as one of our own.

There is nothing anyone can say at this point to make you feel better Banbury, but my thoughts are with you and yours at this awful time.  I hope the game tomorrow brings some small form of catharsis for you.
