Just had a response to an email i sent about doing something to show respect and acknowledge the passing of Private Thornton. The club have contacted the Football League and the Referee to seek permission. WELL DONE AND THANK YOU BFC
That's great news, well done to you for taking the trouble to contact them and well done BFC for a positive response.
Was he a Barnsley fan or just from Barnsley? Just wondering His family should be made VIPs for our next home match to be there when their son gets honoured.
Its some years since i last spoke to him but he was always a massive rugby fan. Never known him go to a Reds game but i may well be wrong! Don't think it matters though- HE was a Tarn lad and would be great for club to allow respects to be shown.....
Whether he was a Barnsley FC fan or not his life as a Barnsley lad owt to be acknowledged by the club and fans if his family would that.
