Popular Post ScottishRed Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 I have thought long and hard about posting this but feel that I have to say something. The ‘Gabe’ mentioned in the earlier thread which is now understandably, locked was my son. He died in a road traffic accident last September, as a pedestrian. He was 21. Gab, loved football, he would watch any game at any level, except when he was playing, but mostly he loved Bristol City. I first took him to AG when he was 5 and he was hooked instantly. For many years we have had season tickets in the Dolman. I have been unable to attend AG since his death as it is still very ‘raw’. The point of this post, and I am being very careful what I say here, is to state my utter disgust at what occurred at the game on the 18th of December and even more so at what happened afterwards. I cannot emphasize enough that I hope the victim of that cowardly attack makes a full and speedy recovery and, that justice is served. I know, without a shadow of doubt, that Gabriel would be equally appalled and disgusted. I am not going to say anymore other than the club meant so much to him and gave him a lot of joy during his short life. 29 3 159 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post handsofclay Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 You have displayed tremendous dignity through your words in your post. Your son would be proud of you as you were so proud of him. Neither yourself or your late son are tainted by those few idiots who chose not to honour his memory as he deserved. We respect his memory and your humanity in expressing your feelings so eloquently. 33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
