Info from Barnsley forum......
"I'm Stephens brother,I don't post on here very often but I do read it.First of all I would just like to say a big thankyou for all the kind messages we've received on here and for your understanding and respect, we have been really humbled by them all and it has given us some comfort at this difficult time. I guess a lot of you have read the statement we asked the club to put out so I've nothing much more to add to that.just to say we could not have asked for anything more to be done for my brother pitchside,by the time I got to my brother from my seat in the East Stand lower ,the medical people had already revived him but he was very weak,the doctors had already decided that the Air Ambulance was the best option. I would like to explain about the Ambulance situation as I was told,I know someone was saying about how long it took to get there,well apparantly when the Air Ambulance is called there always has to be a land Ambulance on standby in case anything happens to the helicopter.There was an Ambulance at Oakwell cos a game cannot take place unless an ambulance is on stanby at the time the air Ambulance was called the game hadn't been postponed so another ambulance had to be called in case one ambulance had to go and the game went ahead.every bit of medical equipment that was needed was already pitchside .i cannot praise everybody concerned enough. As for Stephen he was put in an induced Coma pitchside by the air ambulance crew ,he is still sedated in the Northern General Hospital,He his poorly but stable,the doctors are happy with how things are at the moment,we are hopeful of a good recovery but we will know more in a few days.I hope you don't mind me giving this update and thankyou all again".

Thank you for coming on to update us, we are all willing him to pull through this I'm sure. Fans from wherever pull together in times like this and players too and if it can be said without sounding off, he couldn't have been in a better place with more or less instant medical help on hand.
We lost one of our own a few years ago a great mate, a work mate and Brewer. It went through my mind on Saturday if only we could have been there for him.
Here's to a speedy recovery for Stephen and let's hope he can get to the do what he loves doing as I read he was a great volunteer and gave so much of his time to help the youngsters enjoy the day at Oakwell, we wish you all well.
