Obviously most of you do not look at afc-chat these days but one of those lads have set up an account CRY Charity (Cardiac Risk in the Young) which was what the family plaque was removed wishes - sadly its under the banner of afc-chat rather than aberdeen but if anyone wants to donate they just go to

Also Cameron's mum and dad posted this on jambo's kickback :
Been on AFC Chat, a lot of talk about if the plaque was knocked off by accident. Tried to put a post on their site but couldn't register.
A director from Aberdeen has been in touch asking for our seat nos., as they are doing an investigation, we have given them the details. I'll say this much they are in the Gorgie stand. The plaque was on the front of the seat underneath the name sticker put there by the club to show the season book holder's name.
Numerous seats next to, in front of and behind our seats had these name stickers ripped off, some bits were left on the seats.
The plaque was fixed to a larger backing as the seat is bevelled and this allowed the plaque to sit straight. It was fixed extremely firmly and also had black sealant round it.
Many of our friends and family have sat in the seat, got up and cheered and it has never moved. In fact the first match we attended after it had been put on we prodded it and pulled it to test it. It was going nowwhere.
We do not wish to blacken the name of Aberdeen or its fans, but someone purposefully removed it (I'd say using some sort of implement) and this is not acceptable. All we want is for the person to be utterly ashamed of their actions and to know the upset this has caused. We are still only starting to realise what happened to our son without having to deal with this.
Out of this though has come some good, this sort of tragedy is only too common and more needs to be done to bring it to light. For example Phil O'Donnell, Terry Yorath's son. the guy from Cameroon and a player from Seville recently along with the thousands of normal everyday youngsters.
Thanks to all Heart's and Aberdeen fans for your donations and comments.
