Would just like to share a few pics & memories with you all on NSC as yesterday's game V Blackburn will be the last time my dad will enjoy the pleasure of going to the Amex, but what a way to go out,
Can not thank the club enough for the most beautiful day imaginable
Just last week my dad was told he had a rare form of brain cancer and had a few months to live, on hearing this news the family were left shattered
But what a massive boost we all got this week was a message from the club saying we'd all be treated to a VIP day at the Amex V Blackburn, I've never known in all my life a greater hospitality than what we received today, it was beyond belief
4 course Meal,free Bar, best seats in the house, tour of stadium, met Alan Mullery Bobby Zamora Inigo Calderon Liam Rosenier
Big thanks to Everyone at the club, the most emotional day of our lives which you all made very special
Xx

Apart from the underlying sadness of your dad's sickness, this is great to hear. Thanks for telling us about what happened.

Thanks for sharing - not the only positive post about the club in the last day or two but perhaps the most poignant. Wishing all of you the very best.

By the way Bobby Zamora told us he was biting at the bit to play again but realistically he's looking at the first game back after the international break, but would love to be involved at Ipswich

Lovely story, really good to see the club giving something back to the fans. All the more reason to love BHA.
I imagine it was a great uplift for dad to have such a day, and gives us fellow supporters reason to be proud of our club.

Thanks everyone for all your comments much appreciated, like a few of you have said makes you proud to be an Albion fan, my sentimements entirely, you couldn't have scripted a better day than the one we had, the club were just brilliant, it's kept us all going over the last few days with my dad thinking of nothing else, his face lit up when he met Bobby Zamora
Just posted another pic of our view yesterday sitting next to none other than Des ( dishy) Lynam
What a day!!!!!

Wasn't going to post as I didn't know what to say, but your post made me want to smile and cry in equal measure. Best wishes to you, well done the club, and I'm going to take a trip out to see my dad today.
