Man dies at Blackburn V Stoke game

[knip]

Sounds similar to what happened at Bristol City a few seasons back

In our case a man named Nick Randall had a heart attack in his seat, and despite the best efforts of the emergency crews, Nick died whilst the the game was going on

He had a wife and three boys. The fans of City (and Rovers fair play to them) raised enough money for Sharon, his wife to take the kids on holiday. Sorry i've gone on, was involved in the fund raising quite a bit, needless to say it was a very sad day at our football club.

Yikes, maybe it wasnt innocent

The 30-year-old fan, who was thought to have been hit on the head with a bin, was found unconscious. He was taken to hospital where he later died.

The football fan was initially treated at the scene for a head injury and cardiac arrest, then taken to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.

But Staffordshire Police today said the man died in hospital just before 2am today.

A 25-year-old man from Preston has been arrested over the incident.

A spokesman said: 'A 30-year-old man was pronounced dead at 1.55am this morning at University Hospital North Staffordshire.

'The circumstances are being fully investigated and a 25-year-old man remains in custody and is helping police with their inquiries.'
