The Club will be speaking to as many people as possible over the coming weeks and will bring an extended page number, special edition of BE RED out for the next home match with Sheffield Wednesday, where fans will be able to read the in depth thoughts and interviews with as many former players, members of staff and board members of Barnsley Football Club as possible about the influence Patrick Cryne had on them. All of the revenue gained from the special edition programme will be donated to the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. Corporate Fundraising Manager at The Christie charity, Danielle Carney said: “We are so grateful that at this very sad time Patrick Cryne’s family have made this hugely generous gesture and everyone here at The Christie charity thanks them and the club very much. All donations, whether big or small, make such a difference to patients and their families and take us a step closer to a future free of cancer.” The Cryne family would like to thank everybody who has sent messages of support to them, whether this has been in person, through social media or by letters sent to the Club.
I'm hoping I'll feel well enough. Got a dodgy knee too. Not been for yonks, but desperately want to get there tomorrow. Getting home is another matter...
Really mate, that would be grand. Would it be from the ground, as i don't trust my knee with that hill..!!
I will see in the morning when she wakes up. She normally meets me in the Hoyle Mill inn so she’s doesn’t have to battle traffic as it makes her well grumpy which is not uphill but might be too far for you.
