No, i'm not talking about the non existant singing but a guy in the upper Cobbold near the North Stand.

From what I could see he had a heart attack and paramedics were trying to revive him, it was just before the players ran out.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

some one told me about it but i never saw anything happening

Poor bloke looked in a bad way, hope he pulled through

Crikey, Paramedics were trying their best and it didn't look good from where I was standing, RIP

I saw the paramedics run over 5 minutes before the kick off, there must of been about 8 of them, they were doing CPR on him for the whole time. At kick off they moved him (at that point I thought he was dead) but then carried on with CPR for another 15 minutes. They had a drip and got him on a strecher.

Was a terrible site. The left side of the North Upper were dead silent, everyone looked stunned. A few chants of Barmy Army got going but no one our side really joined it, football seemed so pointless as there was a man dying about 30 foot away.

I'm not sure if he dies though, if he had a heart attack would they of done CPR on him for 20 minutes?

Might of, only a Dr can confirm some one dead as far as I know.

OMG thats awful, I must admit that I didnt see anything but I didnt get to my seat till almost k.o.....thats very very upsetting for all those involved and those that witnessed it.....

That is so, so, sad to hear, and my condolences go out to
the family, friends and poor people who had to witness such a tragedy at PR.

When me and wifey walked into the game yesterday there was a
very old man inhis wheel chair, He was severely disabled and I said
to Jane 'How wonderful that someone has brought him to the
game' because despite his disabilities it was obvious that he
had a great love for Ipswich Town and its was nice to know
that people take the time and trouble to give people things they want.

Makes you all realise how lucky some of us really are..

My mum knows the guy not dead but in a very bad way.he His wife died just after xmas

Well thats good news, atleast he is still with us.

I hope he makes a full recovery.

I'm pleased to hear that 76trev!!! I got my infomation from one of the attending stewarts after the game.

Would have been surprised if he had have died there and then tbh.
Worked on him for a good 20 mins and as dazza said finnaly had a drip into him.

If he had have died there and then wouldnt have been a lot of point to the drip, and noticed it was still in when they stretchered him away.

Assumed it was a heartattack. Very odd, not a pleasant thing to happen especially at a footy ground with people cheering and clapping all around.

*shudder*

Least he still alive and kicking allbiet not very well.
Hope he recovers and makes it back to PR.

oh
me and bro went to get our seats and i looked up at cobbold up and i saw him he look in a bad way than before i could look all paramedics where there and were working on him

lost all intrest in game just wanted him to be ok

really realy realy really hope he has a full recovery

thinking of him and his family and friends

Thats great to hear, he didnt look in a good way at all!

When i saw him sitting in his seat he was un-consious (sp?).

I said to my mate that the build up music probably didnt help tbh, i dunno what the tune is, but it was the one is supposted to build a tense atmosphere!

Dazza: they would continue with CPR to mimick the heart beat and oxygen flow around the body . The only way you can re start the heart is with a defibulator - if they had shocked him but his heart remained asystolic - they may probably continue with CPR in an effort to maintain oxygen supply to brain but they might also have eventually pronounced clinically "dead" and they would have stopped CPR!

The guy had a cardiac arrest died in the stand. Paramedics revived him and is well on his way to a full recovery. Well done to all staff and stewards involved

fantastic news


get well very soon!!!

Fantastic news.

Its the paramedics that should be getting paid thousands of pounds per week and not footballers.

Cant praise them enough!

I'm glad he's getting better, can't believe it was not in the news though.

maybe the family (or TV directors) didnt want it to appear in the news when he was still in "trouble" !

Might make an appearence soon!

Great news!!
