“It is a small gesture, though one which has been very well received by friends and families who have unfortunately lost a loved one in the past 12 months.
“We’ve had an initial uptake of about 40 supporters, whose names and photographs will be displayed on the scoreboard prior to kick-off this Saturday when we face Barrow at One Call Stadium.
“We hope this gesture of good will and remembrance will provide some comfort to those mourning the loss of a loved one.”
