Petrov has Leukaemia

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

Terrible news.

I remember when Stan first came and he struggled and got stick from the fans but over the years we've grown to love him.

I always love at Villa Park when he has led the pre-match handshakes, he turns and runs over towards the Holte and claps us and we all clap him back.

Get well soon Stan.

l'm off to the Brecon Becons tomorrow for a weekend retreat so missing the villa game. I hope the fan's going sing the whole game stan's name.

[Hadley83]

Awful news, good luck Stan. I just read on twitter that the Protest before the game has been called off due to the news. At least they have seen sense.

I'm missing tomorrow too as I'm out at the races for a mate's birthday.  Wasn't bothered about missing the game given how things have been going, but now, in a strange way, I wish I was there!

shocking news. hope he recovers.

[phantom limb]

Shocking and terrible news, I hope he can make a full recovery.

[Risso]

Different circumstances I know to Muamba, but shouldn't the game be called off?  I imagine the entire club are going to be in total shock.

[villanic]

Absolutely shocking. Get well soon Stan and best wishes to your family.

[cheltenhamlion]

Shit.

Get well soon Stan.

I can't imagine there would be many complaints if it were called off.

Depends on the players I suppose, maybe they will want to play for Stilyan? I guess we'll hear something soon enough.

Totally agree.  I don't really give a shit about the game I just want Stan to get well.
