We unfortunately lost several of our regulars during the lockdown and some passed without our ability to honour their support.
The Supporters Club have decided to be Match Day Sponsors on Feb 12th when we play Merthyr Town.
This will be a Memorial day in their memory and it's still in the planning stages but we will honour the following people with a minutes applause before the start of the game:-
Lizzie Gower
Mike Davidge
Doug King
Andy Orman
Peter Reeves
We do not believe this to be an exhaustive list and if you can add any names that we should include, please let us know below.

This is a great gesture. Being Andy Orman’s son I am very much looking forward to attending.
Plenty of great memories going to watch Poole Town as a teenager with my dad while he took pictures in the early 2000’s.
Thanks

My late father knew your father very well as he worked with him at Poole Hospital. Through their friendship Andy & I had a great friendship and whenever my wife and I came through the turnstile we would make a 'bee line' to see Andy! I was so sad, in fact I broke down when Andy told me he had MND as that was what my late mother aged 65 had.... The last time I saw your father was when he dropped off a copy of his Charlie Austin photo book for us.. Anyway all the best and indeed am looking forward to the 12th Feb when a huge applause will ring in the air at Tatnam!! |

I wonder could we as a club or individuals look into remembering Andy permanently somehow - maybe a plaque in the stand to show our appreciation of what Andy did for our club... |

I agree that this is a wonderful idea.
What about “dubcek”? I didn’t know his name but somebody will and I seem to recall he was a loyal Dolphins fan.

This is for those who have passed during the pandemic/lockdown when we were unable to acknowledge them and due to the length of time, may have escaped our attention. |

Thank you all for the kind words for my dad. Looking forward to this this weekend. The photograph I use on this forum was taken by your dad. As is the one I use on Facebook. He quite often turned the camera on to us. Especially if during a match, he knew we couldn't see him. After a match, especially an away win, he would take a few of us all celebrating. Taught me to ignore the camera. Also brilliant company. Especially on the coach to & from away games. |

What a nice touching tribute in Today's match programme to those Dolphins supporters whom we unfortunately lost over the past two difficult years. Well done all.

Very proud reading the tribute in the programme. Glad he is appreciated for the hard work and dedication he gave to the club for almost two decades. Very sad hearing his name called out at the game yesterday but thankful for the warm applause for himself and everyone else that has sadly passed away connected to the club.
