More sad news, I'm afraid.
I've been informed that Jenny Heslop died in Wythenshawe Hospital last night.
The loss of yet another Alty stalwart.
Sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Sad news indeed

Sincere RIP Jenny. A true Alty stalwart and a very lovely person too.

Sad news......one of the many people who welcomed non Alty born and bred newbies like me into the club 20 odd years ago.
Her calming down of Dennis post match was something I always smile about
-
Absolutely gutted by this news. Really saddened by this!
RIP Jenny

Lovely lady. RIP Jenny.
Condolences to family & friends
Very sad news
Best barmaid we had
-
George and Jenny were two absolute stalwarts of the club.
Jenny ran the bar like clockwork in a small environment with many hundreds of people flowing through.
Thoughts with Sally and the family x

Really saddened by this, maybe even sadder than the loss of Kingy.
Due to some dubious ID checking of the fans, at least 3.of the 4 KGR team regularly enjoyed pre match and post match pints by Jenny. Without that warm encouraging welcome, I do wonder if we'd habe got sucked into watching home and away.
Someone that was part of my match day experience in the opening 6 seasons as the players and management. Post Eastbourne will long live in my memory

Condolences to all.
sad news.

This is really sad news. Jenny ran a tight ship in the old NWS bar under the main stand & in the days before craft beer & routine 2k home gates. So many of us will have fond memories of a natter with her across the bar. One of the final nights I remember in there was after we beat Guiseley in that famous play off final in 2014 with James Walshaw leading the singing. Great times.

The face of the Noel White Suite and an integral part of the match day experience. Made running the bar look easy and always had time for a friendly welcome. Something that was lost in the move to the CSH but that’s progress I suppose. RIP Jenny.

Truly sad news. Jenny was part of the lifeblood of this club for so many years.

The loss of a lovely lady.
My condolences to all those close to her

RIP Jenny, condolence's to family and friends. Lovely Lady.

Very sad loss to the club, wonderful behind the bar and always had a smile for you.
A great deal of help to Steve from Sale when I decided to quit my bad pork-scratching habit. I remember telling her that I was having too many fillings in my teeth and with her cheery smile she said, 'right! I'll stop ordering them then, cos you're the only one who buys them.' So I said, 'well just order one more box for old times sake.' She replied with a curt no, thereby saving my teeth for further damage.
RIP Jenny, you'll be glad to know I still have my own teeth! Love to the rest of your family too.

Very sad news indeed, an integral part of our club RIP Jenny. Sincere condolences to Sally and the family.

Auntie Jenny is and was my favourite person at Moss Lane forever.
I first came to watch Alty because I got tickets for free through my school. I fell in love with the club from the first game. I wrote a letter to the club thanking them for the ticket and explaining how much I'd enjoyed the day despite the loss. I received a response from Jenny inviting me down to the ground to take a tour around the club, and to meet John who was manager at the time. It was magical for an 8 year old kid to get to see behind the curtain, something I know now was a small gesture but was absolutely integral to me developing a love for the club.
Thank you Jenny for putting me firmly on the path of joy and despair that is being an Altrincham fan.
I'm shocked/sad I've not seen anything from the club on this yet.

Very sad news, worked alongside Jenny for years dealing with kit , both for team and club shop. Not only that, I would call at her house before every training session collecting balls and other training equipment . Nothing was too much trouble for Jenny, a true Alty Legend alongside George, RIP Jenny.

Indeed, I thought the club would have put up a notice acknowledging her Sterling work that she did for the football club

I informed Bill Waterson of the sad news early yesterday afternoon but who on earth knows who is actually responsible for updating that club website with such information?
I note that the death of Brian Lee has been recorded.
