He's one of Dale's Friends/Relatives from Horden and was representing the family I believe.

His name is Vince Paul and his son, Buster, was one of Dale's best mates, having played alongisde him for many years as a youngster. He is a close family friend of the Roberts, and came along on their behalf as they we're unable to make the game yesterday. There's a photo of him on the OWS with his daughter and Dale's cousin, Wayne, who also came along with his wife to show their support.

Vince also made a lot of the arrangements for the DRMC a couple of weeks ago.

Thats a nice gesture. Glad they made time to come and show their support!

In case people didn't notice, we added some more of Mal's player / fan celebration pics to the article with the various presentations pics today - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/scenes-from- ... -afternoon

Looks like there is some bonding going on there.

I'm sure there must have been. It would be interesting to know roughly how many there were.

Does anyone know? Guessing we don't have the ability to break it down into home/away fans as the same turnstiles.

Am sure there were, but we don't have a split gate, and so those that pay via Cash could be ether, so we have no way of knowing, at least until every fan is a member ;-)

Im Thrapston born and bred and they dont have any fans as such. There were a few lads from their reserve side watching last Saturday, they were standing next to the terrace enjoying a couple of beers. Thrapston tend to play quite a few games on a Friday night and tend to get fairly decent crowds at these games because quite a few people come to watch who play or watch bigger sides on a Saturday.

Ive watched quite a few games in the UCL and i imagine the only team that have any kind of support will be Oadby.

That's what I thought but only 91 there last Saturday blaming the fact that Leicester City were at home.
