Hi,

I’m posting on here (with the knowledge of Sam’s family) to organise a fans’ tribute on Saturday v Lincoln, to Sam Staple, who was a big County fan who lived in Lincoln. Sam recently passed away unexpectedly at the age of just 15, leaving his family devastated.

Sam’s rugby club left this lovely tribute to him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1070314831766986&id=100063654368326

His family will be at the game on Saturday, and it would mean so much to them to have Sam’s memory honoured by the County faithful.

As Sam was 15, it would be good if we could have a minute’s applause at the 15th minute mark.

Sam also loved the drum, so I’d like to try and contact the drummer to see if he can support. Does anyone have contact details please?

I’m also going to post this on as many forums as I can, but if anyone has any suggestions for other places to quickly spread the word ahead of Saturday, I would be grateful.

Many thanks,
DB
