I think the medical incident with Pablo earlier today demonstrates how fragile and vulnerable life can be, and I am relieved the club had the necessary equipment on site to potentially save Pablo’s life without a doubt.
The speed that help arrived, from the club doctor and club paramedic, to when the emergency services arrived was nothing short of a miracle. I could only watch helplessly from the terraces with my friends, and watch how these professionals brought Pablo back to us. I must also mention the Chelmsford lads who had the presence of mind to use our supporters flags as a shield to protect Pablo from the raging heat of the sun. The CTFC lads were obviously shocked at what had happened to their team mate, but they showed great courage and dignity in letting the professionals sort their buddy out.
I understand Pablo is in hospital but out of danger thank goodness, and I’m sure all CTFC supporters will wish him a full and speedy recovery.

Best wishes to Pablo and a swift recovery and hope to see you back on the pitch soon. Nothing but praise for all concerned yesterday. The look of shock on our lads faces. So many people rushing around doing what they could. Like Toyboy gratitude to the Chelmsford lads who rushed over to get the second flag. Just showed in situations like this everyone pulling together .

With the abandoned game vs Chelmsford rearranged for Tuesday 23rd August and with majority attending probably having a game voucher. I wonder if this is an opportunity to raise some cash for charity(ideally British Heart Foundation) or life saving equipment for ours or other clubs etc..
I'd be happy to donate say £5-£10 on the gate.

BBC Wiltshire have put together a special show called “Pablo Martinez: Minute 27” and it is well worth a listen, especially ahead of this weekend’s trip to that afternoons opponents, Chelmsford.
show:
Once again, thank you to everyone who saved Pablo’s life.
