When their shot went miles into the stand, the ball then whacked him in the head from behind and laid him out..more shock than anything.
What was disappointing was despite fans waving for steward's attention they did FA
Only when I went down 15 rows to speak to a steward at the front and told them someone had "collapsed: did any action ensue.
A lesson for the stewards to be a bit more aware of their surroundings. A different scenario could've been a lot worse.

I'm glad he's ok but why wasn't he facing the pitch so he could see the ball coming towards him?

The ball went behind him first then was ricocheted inhis direction so effectively whacked from behind.

The medical staff (St John's of old, but could be professional 
) were very slow to respond arrived about 3 seconds before the club physio and doctor who had had to run from the half way line - not the NW corner.
It's not a new PA system we need but training for that side of stuff.
If that had been a cardiac arrest, those seconds matter.

If you’d shouted someone had a bottle top they’d have been over instantly.
Glad the fellar is ok.

happened to a guy on my row he went to punch a ball that came into the stand, completely missed it and fell over into the row in front. Looked a bad landing and from my angle looked as if he could’ve been knocked out cold but luckily as medical attention arrived he was already sat up right. Lessons to be learnt for stewards though

Tbh the reaction of the medical staff was appalling, no urgency just a leisurely stroll across by which time they wasn’t needed.

Someone isn’t always to blame…Im sure the Stewards aren't sub human mate…..just won’t have known what had happened

If it was a cardiac arrest then why don’t you do the training required to respond to such a case?..genuine question…….I have. It takes 90 minutes and is readily available for free…..you DO NOT need to be a medical professional to do the first response in case of a cardiac arrest and save someone’s life. Speed is most important factor…check if they’re breathing or not..if not then get to work on that chest with 6 cm depth compressions at 120 compressions a minute which keeps blood pumping to the brain and prevents brain death….which starts after 3 minutes and after 8 minutes of no blood to the brain the brain is totally goosed and medical professionals wouldn‘t even try to revive the body ….SO while you’re all slating a jogging medical practitioner YOU could be doing something …..sign up and get trained…you could save a member of your own familyThe medical staff (St John's of old, but could be professional

You WILL break ribs if you’re doing it properly…they can be fixed afterwards when the person is ALIVE
if they ain’t breathing they’re dead already….you can keep em from being brain dead while the professionals arrive

None of the row of first responders in front of me batted an eyelid tbh… club doctor got over pretty sharpish in fairness

Said exactly the same. Disappointing especially as we were involved in a medical emergency at Fulham recently.
Well done to Grimmy for finally bringing it to the refs attention, stopping the game emphasised the need for a response.
Perhaps they are only trained to search people, rather than assist the crowd?

Well done I couldn’t believe the stewards just sat there without seeing what had happened
I apologise to the fans in front of me for my shouting and swearing but was frustrating to see the response.
Hopefully lessons can be learnt luckily no one seriously Ill or hurt. Medical staff came quickly once were made aware
Well done for going down as if you hadn’t would still be sat on there backsides looking at each other
Great win Up the Pool
Hope the gentleman is ok
