It's not the club though is it? It's the fans. Even if it was the club it wasn't the entity that was caught drink driving (I assume that's what you're alluding to). If I was at the game I'd join in without any feeling of hypocrisy. I wasn't caught drink driving and even the players involved faced the legal consequences.

Comrade 86 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I hope our lot do join in, I really do, in the same way that I'd be really touched were the shoe on the other foot and the Northampton fans showed solidarity and support if we'd lost one of ours they way they have. I don't see this as a political issue in any case. This woman has not invoked diplomatic immunity for political reasons, she's done it to avoid answering for her actions. It's doubtful there will be any real benefit other than hopefully to lift the spirits of the lad's family. What else is there to consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Harford Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Also remember that US forces (who i worked with and respect) killed Terry Lloyd (Kevs bro) and tried to cover it up. This lad deserves justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
