Fan taken ill in Hammy End last night

[Shredhead]

Does anyone know how the fan taken ill in the Hammy End (block nearest the JH is? It looked serious and the lino was asked to stop the game but shook his head. Hope they're OK.

I had no idea - presumably cos everyone was standing. Obviously wish the victim well.

Apparently the fan was revived and was conscious and talking when the medics arrived. Hope and pray they are ok. Fulham fans went straight to assist the fan who was in distress. Cheers.

I noticed some commotion but wasn't sure what was going on. Brings back dreadful memories of Paul Parrish. So glad to hear he recovered. Note the OP, the referees now are under instruction not to stop matches for medical incidents in the crowd after guidance received in the summer

That's good news. Definitely could see someone in a yellow hat performing what looked like chest compressions from where I was standing.

Happened just before half time and in the interval there was an ambulance outside with blue lights on. Hope he is OK.

Yes it's very distressing when things like this happen,I'm surprised that the ref is under instructions not to react after all life is more important than a game.

The problem with stopping games makes it open to dodgy betting especially in the far East sadly.

The Premier League decided earlier in the season that games will not be stopped for medical emergencies in the crowd. Every stadium has a doctor on-site to react to any incidents should they happen off the pitch. That includes supporters that have been taken ill or any other medical problems that could arise.

A supporter in block H2 of the Hammersmith Stand suffered a cardiac arrest and received medical attention in the stand before being transferred to hospital. His family have been in touch with the club to inform us and our supporters that he is better and still being treated in hospital.

Everyone at Fulham Football Club wishes him a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks for the updates, especially @whitejc - glad he's still alive and recover. It happened after Willian's goal - perhaps it was all too much for him!
