Chairman in road traffic accident?

[Fosse69]

Please keep to the incident, there are many other threads for our opinions.

[Phil]

Why would he not just be walking to his car? Where was he going?

Which hospital is he at? Maybe someone could go and visit him? Is there a police report?

 

Racko's pub in Burslem?

[Erniemossrules]

Hope the pedestrian is ok also. Just hope nothing do with Smurf we will be non league come May without him.

 

We could be non league with him as well if he doesn’t open his sweetie jar.

[Howjy04]

This story feels like it may have a few twists and turns.

 

Do you know he was driving Ernie?

 

Oh and I’m genuinely not having a go here (which you and I have been known to do in the past).

 

Pedestrian means he was walking,Shortstop.He was walking past the Grassy Knoll near the Depository.

Consider yourself told Erniemossrules.

It was the pedestrian that is in Hospital mate so he def wasn't driving. Like I say doesn't make sense that he would be walking by the flats on Hamil Road.

Thing is if the road has been closed for 10hours, confirmed by the Sentinel, then surely the Police will make a statement.

 

A Girl on Facebook is saying she saw the accident and that it was a Taxi driver,

 

D****e C***e Said Disgusting comments I'm ashamed and I'm a massive port vale fan and live in burslem in my life!!!!!!! Norman is a human being just like the rest of us!! I saw the accident too. It was a taxi driver that hit him and no Norman was not drunk so get your facts right before commenting.

Staffordshire Police confirmed it was a vauxhall insignia that was involved in a collision with a pedestrian on Hamil Rd. The pedestrian received minor injuries.

I hope he has a speedy and complete recovery.

[TJHValiant]

I hope our 400k is alright...oh and Norman too! Regardless the only thing in really ill health is our club, with the perpetrator Smurf.

[Wrex]

It's bizarre but accidents do happen and there could be many reasons for Smurthwaite walking on Hamil Road at that time.

[Badgerspaws]

I am no supporter of Norman's tenure at Vale Park but wish him a speedy recovery. However, a road traffic accident often results in a fatality for a pedestrian so Norman might be quite lucky. But I ask a question to those on here who feel that they are "in the know". Had Norman not survived, who would the ownership of our club pass to, and what would that mean for the future of our club?

[Bycarsbill]

Whatever our individual thoughts are about his stewardship of the club, we should all wish him a speedy recovery. It could have been anyone of us and must have been reasonably serious to keep him detained in hospital! Get well Norman.

What I don't understand is why would he be walking down Hamil Road by the flats. Surely he would park on the car park

Going to buy some spice

With him living in Leicester and there being a game on today, perhaps he was staying the night at the George hotel.

Seems the most likely reason.
