Very sad, for his family, and those on the bus and who witnessed the accident.

such a shame ....too young to go....tragic.
my thoughts are with his familly and friends, RIP young Dean

i really do hope the club do something for him and his family ...

[Keith]

Very sad, especially at such a young age and a tragedy for his family. Was the young lad a regular at Christie Park?

[Dids]

don't think so, but he always asked me on how we did in a match

News like this is always very sad, and I'm sure the local community and his school will put together some kind of tribute. But with all due respect to the original poster, I don't see why the club should particularly do anything really if he wasn't an MFC fan. He might have been a fan of some Premier League team. Indeed it would devalue anything done by them in the future for someone who DID reguarly attend CP and was a proven MFC fan.

ye but the point is hes a local !!

Please be aware that this boy may have friends and family who may read this board, i know one of his friends, and the well meaning post may be misread, god bless the lad, but dont debate the validity of a tribute on here.

In fact probably best if we dont debate at all.

I am sure we all agree that our sympathies go out to his family.
