Had a few brilliant interactions with Sid, very controversial poster but what was needed at times, God bless his poor family....Sidders sir it was a pleasure interacting with you 😞

Haven’t posted here for a long time, but just wanted to share some news that a local fellow Notts fan to me, Alan Combes, passed away suddenly last week

I believe he was an active poster on this forum under the name “Sidders” (or variations of that name over the years). He leaves behind a wife and daughter, who I’m sure will be in the thoughts of all on the forum.

R.I.P Alan, God bless you and your family 🙏

Very sad, a permanent fixture on this board and great contributions even in the early days. A former sports writer, often had an informed view. RIP Sidn, will be much missed.

Dreadful news. RIP. A cantankerous but highly intelligent poster. He was the first supporter on this board to call out Munto as the sham it was as well.

A star of NottsCountyMad's golden era

I'm saddened by his passing

Very sad news indeed. About 18 months ago Sid did an anagram competition thread on here, which I was privileged to win (jointly if I remember correctly). The prize was a copy of his novel, which was a nostalgic football novel. He signed it and wrote a lovely message in the front.
RIP Sid..

Really sorry to read this. When I joined this board nearly 20 years ago, Sidn15 was a regular poster. In those days he was always the first to stand up to the many racist posts that were fairly common on here back then, and got a fair bit of abuse for doing it. He always stood his ground and said what he thought, and I invariably agreed with him. I know he had a varied career and became a journalist and author, but I think his real passion was teaching, and I'm sure he got the most satisfaction from inspiring a kid who might have gone off the rails. Even though he was a fairly infrequent poster these days, he is a big loss to NCM.

Wherever you've gone sid, keep doing what you did.
