Saints fan in need of support

[BarryVenisonsHair]

Morning all, 

A dear friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with Cancer at the age of 35, and has subsequently started his Chemotherapy treatment. He is a lifelong supporter of the club and has held a season ticket in the Northam for as long as I can remember, following the club up and down the country, through thick and thin. 

I have twice contacted the club seeing if they can offer a morale boost to him in the form of a letter or a care package but sadly they haven't been very responsive with replies or help yet. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas for better ways to get something like this happening. I thought about reaching out to ex-players etc online but I do not have social media.

 

Any suggestions welcome, 

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Up The Saints.

What a shoddy way to treat a long standing supporter. I haven't much time for SR but reading your post puts them in an even worse light. I am afraid I cannot be of much help to you except to say what a lovely gesture from you towards your friend. I'm sure some of our lovely Saints fans will be able to help you out. Good luck.

Might be worth contacting the Saints Foundation.

To balance things a bit about three/four years back my next door neighbour, who I sat alongside me at SMS, was a few months to live.

His daughter contacted the club and both of us were offered a meal in the Mick Channon suite and seats near the Directors Box.

It was a nice treat for him and was, in fact, the last game he was able to watch.

Sad to say we lost to a last minute goal.

Thanks for the replies. 

I have a potential contact at the Foundation so I will be persuing this avenue for now. If anyone has links to ex players, please PM me. 

 

This wasn't intended as a dig at the club or SR but rather frustration over slow communication, I'm sure some people have had good experiences and some have had bad. All I want is a show of support from the club for my friend, no matter how small.

You could always just message them on instagram / twitter - can't imagine they get huge amounts of messages a day...?

Thoughts and prayers are with you, your friend and their family. Incredibly disappointing that the club havent even replied
