Seaborne In Serious Condition After Assault.

Seaborne In Serious Condition After Assault.
Friday, 2nd Sep 2011 09:48

Dan Seaborne is in hospital after being assaulted outside a nightclub.

The Daily Echo is reporting that Dan Seaborne is "Fighting for his life" after an assault outside the Junk Nightclub in London Road in the early hours of Friday morning, whether the headline is justified is yet to be confirmed but certainly his condition is described as "Potentially Life Threatening" as his family keep vigil at his bedside.

Whether he is concious or not has not been reported, but he seems to have suffered serious head injuries in an assault outside the club alledgedly the follow on after an earlier incident inside.

It is not clear at this stage whether any other Saints players were with Seaborne nor what the fight was over, police who are appealing for witnesses to the alledged assault already have arrested two men in connection with the incident, which saw Seaborne found lying outside the club with serious head injuries at around 3am on Friday morning.

This morning Seaborne is undergoing various tests and scans to determine the extent of any damage, whatever the result it will certainly not be a short recovery period and at this time the main question is that he will be fine and not when he will be playing again.

Im sure all Saints fans wish Seaborne a speedy recovery, whatever the reason behind the assault, no one whoever they are, deserves to be beaten up in this manner whatever they have done.

stmichael added 10:51 - Sep 2 Well said Nick. Southampton is becoming a particularly nasty place these days. I personally think footballers should keep a low profile and avoid night clubs. I know they are young men and should be safe to go out but there is so much scum out there these days. Get well soon Dan.

ardashuxford added 11:33 - Sep 3 When Saints players went out to night clubs in the 60's and 70's they were treated as celebrities. What changed?

schatfield added 16:01 - Sep 3 I have to agree with stmichael, as much as I love Southampton, being my home city, it is a nasty place these days especially after dark with way too many hoodlums around. I hope Dan gets better soon and they catch the scum that did this.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
