Awful awful news. There are no words...
RIP young fella, also happened on Grange Park in the 1960s and killed a lad on Gateside Park.As part of the football family I hope we as a club can recognise this little boy at the home tie v Oxford
I had a reminiscent walk recently on Common Edge playing fields having not been on there for many, many years. The first thing I noticed was how much metal had been errected on there - metal fences with sectioned off areas, perimeter fences, floodlight pylons, sign posts etc. It all looked an eyesore compared to before and had taken away much of the natural look that it always had before.I wonder if the lightning was attracted to the metal poles (lights?) on-site? People need to be aware that the lightning strike can travel through the ground and still get you from a distance away.
More lightning forecast from 5pm today. !!!

Same here MichelleI’ve not hardly slept last night. Just can’t stop thinking about this poor little boy. Such a tragic heartbreaking thing to happen. Really has upset me.
