myol'man Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 So sad to be the one who posts this news. Kevin Jones who was in charge of all match day staff at Ashton Gate passed away after a short illness over the weekend. Kev was a great man to work for, who took his job and responsibility for the safety of all spectators very seriously, but also with a great sense of humour. He has worked at Ashton Gate, apart from a short break elsewhere, for over 20 years, carrying out the tasks which many of you would never be aware of, but which are crucial to the safe running of a major sporting venue. He will be sadly missed by all who have worked with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtucks Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 What dreadful news! Only spoke to him a few weeks ago having not seen him for a while. To say I am shocked is an understatement. Deepest condolences to his family. RIP Kevin, and thanks for everything you have done for us. Dave.

I think it is wonderful that you have joined here to add your message and some more details about your Dad. Even though I don't recall him by name, like every other City fan who spends a fair bit of time at Ashton Gate, I bet we've all seen your Dad many times and spoken to him / nodded to him each week. R.I.P to your father. My thoughts are with you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
