HangTheDJ Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I know it's not a time to speculate but it doesn't sound good. Absolutely horrible news. I know our Club and supporters will be with him all the way and we can do as much as we can to aid the recovery process. The game tomorrow goes ahead at the insistence of Petrov, which is a measure of the man. Will be a strange atmosphere. UTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
