Dollymarie Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 So the police officer who died yesterday was a Charlton fan. The club have released this statement and put a club scarf on his season ticket seat this morning http://mobile.cafc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/charlton-athletic-keith-palmer-statement-3639644.aspx I haven't started this thread to have a debate about the goings on yesterday, (there's already one in the non footy forum for that) I've started it as it could have been any one of us as football fans who were killed or injured yesterday, if people wish to leave words of condolence etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 R.I.P Keith. Now watching the Addicks from the best seat in the house. Thoughts are with his friends, colleagues and family. Not forgetting the others whom have passed and also whom are fighting for their lives or recovering from severe injuries. They are also in my thoughts.

RedM Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 A child has lost her Daddy, a wife has lost her husband, maybe parents have lost their son and maybe siblings have lost their brother...where does it end, and for what? A brave man doing his job, protecting others. May he rest in peace and may his family go on to find some peace too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpexile Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sadness, Anger, Frustration are all the feelings I had when seeing this news unfold. To go to work, go sightseeing or whatever & never go home again because of mindless, senseless acts like this is very hard to accept. Our thoughts are with everyone involved & their families. R.I.P Keith & hopefully a speedy recovery to all the injured both physically & mentally. Stay strong people of the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, Charlton is a proper football club with proper fans in a proper community. Have always had a soft spot for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great gesture, but.... (and this probably won't be a popular opinion).... A number of people sadly died, are there similar whip rounds for them? Don't serving Police officers automatically get a death in service benefit? The club (Charlton) need to do a lot more than this to get fans back onside. It's great that people want to express their support and solidarity with the police officer's family by making a donation to the cause, I understand that close to three quarters of a million has been donated, but surely the other people who died have left their family with a similar sense of loss. This isn't a dig at those who have donated, serving or deceased police officers or anyone else impacted, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points & comments A complete tragedy for all involved but the officers family will , rightly , be looked after financially , and from a welfare standpoint It is likely that other victims will not have those benefits - the fund really should be to help all the victims / families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a Google...
