That Kettin' fan was alright. Some things are more important than football.

Indeed. Cringed a little bit with a few of the songs, but genuinely hope he's alright.

Nice of the K*ttering fans to stay seated at the end of the game as instructed over the tannoy - not. All got up and bolted making it more crowded than ever.

What happened?

According to Poppynet, someone collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest. Certainly, from where I was standing I could clearly see CPR being performed...looked very serious. I hope he/she will recover.

Copied from Poppynet - "An elderly, longstanding supporter had a heart attack and thanks to prompt action initially from two supporters who were clearly medically trained and then from the Ambulance staff, the supporter left conscious on a stretcher.".

Well that's something at least.

Says on Poppynet that the man was treated by 2 doctors in the stand before paramedics arrived and is now OK in hospital wondering where his season ticket had gone :lol:
Glad hes ok but i wouldn't bother with the season ticket..

From the other side of the ground I didn't see anything, hope he's OK.

Good news - http://www.northantset.co.uk/news/Poppi ... 6506049.jp

He was sitting right behind a friend of mine (I know - a friend who is a Ketering fan ), and slumped forward onto him.
He said he is about 85 and of large build.

Glad to hear that he is o.k.
