GOOD luck Gaz: Hornets' coach Martin Hall shows off the signed shirt which is on its way to the Gulf
NestEgg answers call
28/ 3/2003
HORNETS NestEgg, the independent supporters association, has answered the call of Rochdale soldier Gaz Rothwell who is currently serving in the Gulf.
They are sending him an autographed Hornets shirt to show their support as he does his duty in the Middle East.
A Cutgate resident and avid Hornets'fan, Corporal Rothwell e-mailed the Hornets' website asking if they could send him a signed memento from the club. He wrote: "I am an avid Hornets' fan and even though I am in the Army I still make every game I can.
"I am currently in Kuwait. on the Iraqi border. This place is bleaker than anything you can imagine. I am going to be a bit cheeky and ask if you can send me something with the players' signatures to cheer me up."
At their last meeting the Hornets NestEgg members clubbed together to buy a club shirt for Corporal Rothwell and this was signed by the Hornets' team.
The shirt is now winging its way to the 32nd Engineering Regiment with best wishes from everyone associated with the club.
