This sounds horrific. Game abandoned between Bath City and Dulwich Hamlet 5 minutes into the game because Bath City striker Alex Fletcher crashed into an advertising hoarding.
Thoughts are with Bath City and Alex Fletcher. 🤞

He required emergency neurosurgery to stabilise his condition and was then admitted to intensive care where he remains in a stable but critical condition.
Update from a post on facebook.

Bath City's match against Dulwich Hamlet was abandoned after five minutes when a player was injured crashing into advertising hoardings.
Striker Alex Fletcher, 23, suffered a serious head injury in the National League South game at Twerton Park.
Officials decided to halt the match while the Bath player received medical attention and then called it off.
The club said it was "saddened" by Tuesday's accident.
Some 1,000 fans were asked to leave the stadium, a supporter told BBC West.
"Clearly everyone was in shock," he said.
Bath said on Twitter: "This evening's game has been abandoned and will be played at a later date.
"Everyone at the club is deeply saddened by tonight's events and it has been agreed that the game will not resume.
"Our best wishes and thoughts are with Alex Fletcher."
Dulwich Hamlet tweeted: "Due to the serious injury sustained by Alex Fletcher, both teams have agreed to abandon the game.
"For now the most important thing is the safety and recovery of Alex, and from everyone connected with Dulwich, we wish him a speedy and full recovery."
The match was 0-0 at the time it was halted.
Fellow National League South team Slough Town FC sent their support, tweeting: "Our thoughts are with Alex Fletcher after tonight's events and we send our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery."

Awful thing to come on and read. I remember thinking that there was always a possibility of someone being attacked by a fan when we played there but i never thought about the chance of injury to players. Let’s hope he gets a full recovery. Just awful to read

Sadly reminds me of Stoke Gifford player Ben Hiscox who died in freak accident when he slid off the pitch after being tackled and slammed his head on the clubhouse wall

Sadly reminds me of Stoke Gifford player Ben Hiscox who died in freak accident when he slid off the pitch after being tackled and slammed his head on the clubhouse wall That’s the first thing I thought of. I remember watching matches at Twerton and Mangotsfield when I was younger thinking just how dangerous it is having the pitch boundary wall so close to the pitch. Hopefully this young lad makes a full recovery. 🤞 |

Hopefully this young lad makes a full recovery. 🤞 I saw just that at Cossham Street sometime around 2013/14, a player colliding into the brick wall perimeter at some force. I’m fairly sure he managed to make contact with his shoulder first, it was a nasty one and don’t recall the game being abandoned but he was extremely lucky on that occasion. Best wishes and swift as possible recovery to Alex👍🏻 |
