Ben Hastings - Life long Notts fan - RIP

[piratescotty]

Earlier this week. My friend and life long Notts County fan, Ben Hastings lost his battle to cancer. He was 31 years old.

Would be great if we could get a minutes applause in the 31st minute of our next home game as a tribute. The guy was Notts through and through and the nicest bloke you could wish to meet.

Not posted on here for a while. Used to be a very active and regular member. Would be great for you all to join us in this tribute.

Hi Piratescotty and long time no hear. Sad that it's under circumstances like these. Someone actually mentioned you earlier on here. I saw on Facebook that Ben had passed but didn't realise how young he was until you posted this. Condolences to you and all who knew him, and of course to his family.

Keep this at top and get the minutes applause sorted even if it's unofficial. Sounds like the poor lad has gone through a he'll of a lot of pain and suffering. Deepest condolences to Ben's family and all who know him.😔

RIP young man, deepest sympathy to his family. Makes you realise that football isn't that important

RIP Ben - much too young and shows how fragile life is - condolences to your family

That's tragic. RIP and best wishes to the family. A minute's applause would be a lovely tribute.
