Quote: Cross Hills Cougar "Think you need to forget that. The stand has been re-named the Danny Jones Stand, there's a memorial plaque, the number 6 shirt has been retired, there's a tribute in the Hollindrake stand. There have been other Keighley players that died at a young age. Nobody touched by Danny's death will ever forget the shock. But Lizzie Jones shows how to move on positively whilst never forgetting.'"
I'm not sure why I should "forget" anything, just because you say so.
If the fans want to justify keeping a piece of obsolete equipment they need good reasons:
One, is of course, that is an iconic piece of club history and deserves keeping in its own right.
The added connection with Danny is another. It would take little effort to set the clock hand and add a teams name. It is not a question of comparing the premature passing of our beloved players nor of failing to move on.
I'm sure a sponsor could be found to pay the few quid for a paint touch up every few years.
