The club is saddened to report that long time supporter Bill Kirby has passed on and we send our deepest sympathies to his family.

Bill passed away yesterday after recently becoming unwell .

He had supported the club since the 1930s and would have seen the legendary Edgar Kail in his prime as the club had its heyday between the wars.

Bill was a regular fan both home and away, in good weather and bad, over many years and was often found at the front of the team coach directing the driver to difficult to locate away grounds.

He recently celebrated his 100th birthday and was presented with a shirt to commemorate the occasion.

Details of Bill's funeral will be shared once the club is aware of arrangements.
