Slave to the rhythm Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I was literally in the row behind the first incident. If the paramedics did manage to revive the person before they left the stadium, then they deserve a medal - in fact, they deserve medals full stop. They were working franctically for minutes and minutes, and I saw numerous attempts at CPR inside the stadium. Our thoughts are with both people involved. I must sit very close to you because it was all happening near to me as well. I don't think I saw much of the last ten minutes of the game as it was impossible to concentrate on the game with all the commotion going on. Those paramedics deserve nothing but praise for the way in which they dealt with the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinsleburg Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Didn't really see the first one (thankfully) but the second one was right in front of me and to say i was shook up is an understatement. Hope both are ok and make a full recovery. Just a side note, the stewards often get a lot of stick on here but they were brilliant and paramedics were on the scene within seconds.

BRIAN WILSON Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I must sit very close to you because it was all happening near to me as well.

Those paramedics deserve nothing but praise for the way in which they dealt with the situation. Very close to me , and my 13 year old daughter who was rather shook up by it , the services were superb including the Club Doctor ( sorry dont know his name , but he grabbed his kit and was straight up there) who was in the seats behind the home dug-out - really didn't look good , an elderly gent i really hope he is ok xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Today it is confirmed that the man did pass away. Very very sad AN elderly man has died in hospital after collapsing while watching football. Paramedics from Great Western Ambulance Service (GWAS) were already on site at Ashton Gate for the Bristol City game against Doncaster on Saturday. A man in his 80s collapsed in the Williams Stand at about 5pm and went into cardiac arrest. ... John Oliver, a spokesman for GWAS, said: "Crews were already on the scene as is standard for a game. Crews resuscitated the man and he was conscious and breathing at the grounds. He was then taken to the BRI for theatre." It is understood he died overnight. A second man was also attended to by crews just minutes later after he suffered a fit and was also taken to the BRI. Adam Baker, spokesman for Bristol City Football Club, praised medics and those watching the game in the same stand. He said: "Everyone's thoughts are with the family and friends of the supporter who passed away. It was very sad for everyone concerned. The response from medics and supporters was outstanding. The heart attack happened in one end of the stand and a lot of space had to be created but everyone adhered to messages and I can't praise them enough."

ralphindevon Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Very sad and my thoughts are with his family. Having been hospitalised recently and then just finding out a friend in his 40's has died, I can't help think if somebody offered me a departure from this earth in my 80's while watching City, I would be very tempted to take it.
