Quoted from DaleH


Neil explained last night, as you would expect, that football is simply not a priority. People are the priority.
Whilst the fixture has not yet been officially postponed, a decision will be made and announced very shortly as to whether it goes ahead on the scheduled date. Neil quite rightly reiterated, that right now, the priority is supporting Cameron and Dave's family, the staff at the academy, and of course the players.

I think you can expect an announcement on the arrangements for this fixture in due course. But whenever it does go ahead, I truly hope that the supporters pack the park for Cameron and Dave, and also to in support of Cameron's teammates who will need our love, care and support.

Thanks Dale, for expressing your feelings with a strength and sensitivity which I could not hope to match. RIP Cameron and Dave.

Does anyone know of a CrowdFunder or something similar where we can donate to the family who have just lost their main wage earner?

Up to £46k! Whilst money means nothing to the family at this point, it should hopefully ease some financial worries for a while. Speaks volumes of this community.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

As you rightly point out, no amount of money can ever atone for the family’s unthinkable loss, however I do wonder whether it would be logistically viable for the club to play the Millwall cup game, when the time is right, in Cameron’s memory, with a concerted push to get fans through the gate, and all proceeds going to the family.

I appreciate that might not be so easy in practice; I imagine whacking the floodlights on for a three or four hours might cost upwards of a grand, and with increased gates comes a larger stewarding requirement, but any gesture that serves to honour the memory of this young man and his father, whilst delivering some kind of material benefit to their family (no matter how small), has to be at least a small positive at such a dark and difficult time.

Likewise, for Cameron’s young teammates to receive a substantial backing from the Town fan base, with all they are already going through themselves, would serve as a reminder that they are not alone.

I’m sure if it’s doable the club will already be looking into it.

What would be nice is for GTFC and Cleethorpes Town to produce and name a trophy after Cam and Dave, the Walsh Trophy, to be given to the winners of the annual pre-season friendly

I also posted much the same on Twatter and Cleethorpes Town liked and commented on it.

Im glad it has come to fruition. It gives the clubs something to play for.
