    My mum Margaret Dunstone passed away on Saturday afternoon just short of her 94th birthday. Her and my dad started supporting the reds in the Clark era when they started taking me to away games(the first been Doncaster away when Ali Miller scored).
    She was a member of the group that helped raise money to build and run the original disabled stand. At that time the disabled stand was the envy of the football league. She was involved with helping to run the disabled stand for around 30 years only retiring due to ill health around 2016. In that time she only missed a hand full of matches mainly due to holidays. When I used to ask her how the reds had played she would always say I don’t know I was too busy in the stand.
    I was thinking of letting the club know to see if it could announce it at halftime as a tribute to her. Can somebody post who they think would be the best person to contact?
    R.I.P to the person who possibly attended as many homes games as anybody but saw the least amount of minutes

    That is very sad ,I'm sure someone on here can raise this with the club.
    Your Mum was a hero and should be recognised for this.
    It's not just those on the field ,that make this the great family club we are.
    RIP Margaret .

    So sorry for your loss.
    Your mum was a true legend for her work with Joan Dawson.
    Can you e-mail me ASAP at toby59@hotmail.com as I want to discuss with you some sort of tribute?

    Condolences to all the family. I didn't know the lady.
    But i'm sure the club would accommodate some kind of recognition.
    RIP Margaret.
