Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest Football Club, has doubled down on his pledge. The other one is a medical care fund for supporters injured in a recent train knife attack. This pledge follows a season-ticket holder being critically injured after courageously shielding a young child during the attack. The impact on the club and its community as a whole has been profound as they enter a period of shock and mourning.
The attack took place on a service that connects London and Nottingham, where many fans were allegedly singled out. Following the incident, Marinakis expressed his support for the affected fans, emphasizing the importance of providing them with the necessary care during their recovery.
In a statement, Marinakis confirmed his intentions, saying, “We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover.”
The owner further expressed the club’s shared sorrow over the event. “Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened,” he stated, reflecting the sentiments of the broader community. In the wake of the tragedy, club leadership has come together, focusing most on the wellbeing of everyone affected.
Marinakis praised the unprecedented courage shown by the fans during the assault. “The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club’s community,” he remarked, highlighting the values that underpin Nottingham Forest.
He said that his thoughts and prayers are with all people affected by these violent incidents. This one message served to strengthen a great feeling of unity between the fans and club supporters. This assistance arrives at an essential intersection as survivors begin the process of healing.
