Hi guys, I know I don't post on here very often and my partner, Trev, is a more active member, but I feel I have to say something in his defence. It takes a lot for him to come to any game, let alone an away game as he suffers from panic attacks in unknown areas and he has severe depression, bi polar and border line personality disorder since the age of 7. He came to the first away game tonight at Barnton as he was giving a lift to another supporter and felt a bit braver as he had our two eldest children with him. Now, I have to explain a bit about our two eldest children in the fact that they both have autism. James has Aspergers and Charlotte has Pathalogical demand avoidance. this can make their behaviour seem unruly and is in no way our fault that we cannot keep them under control. They had their own anxieties as the stand was a lot smaller than they expected so was very crowded with the rain. I apologise if Charlotte or James has upset anyone and some of the comments made by our own supporters to Trev about his inability to control Charlotte and James has made him think very seriously about any future support. Trev is absolutely crushed he has upset some of our supporters but felt it was a family orientated team and thought there may have been some understanding. I know Trev does not come to a lot of social events and to the away games but he does try and help out with doing the midweek recaps so he can feel more useful.. As I said I can only apologise if any of our supporters felt that by having Charlotte and James there had ruined their night out. Unfortunately for my children they will now miss out on any future games for fear of upsetting someone.
