Goodbye to Dad on Saturday
at 11:11 3 May 2024

Please remove if not allowed.

Unfortunately, we lost our Dad (Val Powell) last week, he has been going to matches for over 60 years, some of you may recognise him from Section 5 of the North Stand Lower where he has been ever-present, he was not shy so if you bump into him then you probably got a conversation from him!

We know it's a big ask given the circumstances on Saturday and supporters will have other things on their minds but any involvement would be much appreciated.

My sister (Louise) and niece (Jasmine) will be in his seat (and next to his seat) for anyone who knew him and wants to say hello.

Mum has received so many messages from his footballing family in the North Stand which has been so wonderful, lets give him the send-off he deserves for his dedication to this amazing club with applause on the 81st minute.

If you have been one of those who have sent messages then thank you very much, it is very much appreciated.

Here are a couple of articles with photos:
