Those of you who followed the "old" club.....

Post by Pigman »

............tomorrow please spare a moments thought for Alison Clarke who sadly passed away this week very unexpectedly and at far too young an age. Alison was a bubbly character with a keen sense of humour, I'll raise a glass to her memory tomorrow.

RIP Alison, my thoughts and commiserations go to her family :cry:

I meant to add, for those that didn't know her, Alison worked in the ticket office so was well known to many.

Jim, totally shocked by this news and deeply saddened, Alison was a true 'diamond' in many senses of the word and had a wicked sense of humour and personality. She was also very kind and made me feel extremely welcome when I first joined the 'old club'.

So very very sad, RIP Alison

I'm very saddened to hear this - she couldn't have been very old. She worked at Winslow motors and was always very helpful there as well as at the Diamonds.

I can't believe it. I was in touch with her on Facebook for ages and hadn't heard from her for a while. So sad. She was a real staunch Scot with a wicked sense of humour.

Anyone know how it happened that she died so young? Anyone in touch with her family?

No that is Nikki who still watches us and was at Cockfosters today and she was shocked to hear about Alison's sudden and unexpected death.
