Hello

This is Jennifers Mum.    Jennifers Dad is in hosptial and is likely to be there for quite a while.  I wont go into details right now as its not my story to tell.  However he is missing catching up with the team and apart from the score which he gets from the radio other information about the games which people here feel he would like to know. if you can post here and ill check back daily

oh and ill probably want to buy him something from the team shop is there a link someone can post

thank you very much everyone hopefully if he does as well as the team are doing this season he will be out sooner rather than later 

thanks in advance everyone

Jennifers mum

Hello Jen's mum, I don't know J's dad in person but have spoken to him on here generally during matches many times. I hope he's ok and hope you are too. He sounds like a great character.

Hi Jennifer's Mum,

I am another fan of JD's posts.  Many have made me laugh and have been read out to the amusement of Mrs Bath Alty (who is very impressed that you have posted on here she "wouldn't have a clue"!).  JD is the only name she'd recognise from the forum.

As an exile it's great to share match day on here with others and JD livens up every game.  He will be greatly missed while he is away, please send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

David

Jen's mum, my dad had a spell in hospital earlier in the year, he was in Leighton near Crewe. They had an option of paying for stuff including TV, and internet access. Appallingly expensive but if it helps keep the big man interested?

JD, get well soon.  Best wishes from across the Atlantic and, as has already been pointed out,  we need you back so we can get back on the winning trail.  All the best for a speedy recovery JD.

Yeah, all the best JD.

I'm another one of those exiles who interact via the forum on matchdays.....was wondering where he was.

Speedy recovery.

thank you everyone 

Its a pity he is in such an old fashioned ward with no access to Broadband.  He is on the mend but he will not be back home for the next game.  All of a sudden ive had to take a major interest in football to give him as much info as i can. 

We had booked a holiday to allow him to come to a game at the end of September so its fingers crossed for then

Hi everyone,

I am truly truyl touched by  all your kind words and to discover it ws my absence and not HSmith's sandwich fillings that dictate our results!

I especially would like to thank Bath Alty for his wonderfully generous gift - it was the most wonderful of gestures. I tried to get on 606 to tell them of the kindness of Alty fans and how it is a wonderful club where everyone matters - they must have had trivia to talk abut like international matches & Accrington f*****g Stanley.

Bath Alty's parcel was espaecially touching and especially therapeutic due to the nature of my ilness. To be honest I shall not be on full form for a while (though as soon as start to talk to some of the nurses they ask if this is  joke!) as I m just on a days realease (All those peoelple who think I am nuts then I tell the I am only let out at the weekend - its now true!!!)

Whether it was the shock of such a good start to the season or other personal matters I have had a breakdown. I do not beliee for one minute being in a psychiatric ward is releted in any way to being an Alty fan!

I thank you all, my friends, for your great kindnss and kind words - now toodays match & see if I can recognise any of the players!

Really great to see you back on here again JD, I miss your posts and humour. I really hope your journey to recovery is well on its way, best wishes mate, Steve.

Dear Jennifers dad,

Although I don't post much myself I often laughed at your witty posts. A great sense of humour will help your recovery. Life is up and down, and there is no shame in needing a bit of help sometimes. Thats why we are human: we are all fragile at times. a bit like the Alty defence! I am sure you will come out of this a stronger man and you have lots of support. All the best!

Back on topic

JD, I'm really glad that you're on the mend. If we're away and I don't have a refereeing appointment I always look in on the match thread and your posts have been a source of much enjoyment.

I've had some issues over the past couple of years, luckily not as serious as yours seem to have been recently. Lots of the uneducated don't understand the issues involved and I think that you have done a service by highlighting that these things can happen to the best of us.

Well done and I hope that your recovery continues apace.

Been away over the weekend - good to see you back  and still on form JD (love the Chris Senior small ligaments comment!)

Apart from having to watch the ref / linesman display at Kiddy, sending the programme was no problem at all, glad it cheered you up.

Nice one JD, I think in his own special little way gunners is reminding you that there really is no shame in this life getting the better of you for a while. Now youre getting back on top so are alty. Nice one!
