Absolutely tragic news from Ewood. Poor guy went to a football match on a Tuesday and didn't come home.

RIP Bluebird

My thoughts are with another football fan's family. RIP

Really sad to read and it made me think of 'our' Mike's

I travel (fairly) often on the Ewood Blues coach and  there are some real stalwarts on there, midweek games at the other side of the country are a fairly regular occurrence in the Football League. it takes up a lot of time and money, and when you support a club like Rovers or Cardiff, it sure aint done for the glory!

Real passion and love for your club and for me are the unsing heros at any club.

 

RIP Mike

Sad news about Mike Jones.  Even sadder that his family were unable to say goodbye.  He left home to support his team and never returned.

It is times like this when football fans show their good side and caring nature.

Puts things into perspective really, best wishes to his family.

[Mike E]

He died doing what he loved and I hope that can be some small comfort to his family and friends.

RIP Mike Jones.

100% correct Gav.  Make the most of it while you can and try and leave a positive legacy.

A real football man - very sad.

I hope the club have done something more sensitive than put out a trite message on Twitter.

A big bunch of flowers for his family would show a bit of class.

Minutes' applause before the start of the next home game as well, surely. It's become a bit trite too but this is certainly deserving of the tribute.
