I have been in contact with Mary Finlayson's father for some time since she moved up North to be with her family.
I expect that a lot of people knew that she had been unwell for some time now.
Yesterday I received the following email from her father....
Sadly, Mary died quietly earlier today at the Ashgate Hospice, Chesterfield. Her last home game was against Aldershot so it was great for her to know the recent result before she left us. Best wishes to All, Mary's Dad
She was a huge Eastleigh fan, and had been for many years, travelling to a large number of away games, often under her own steam.
She managed local youth teams and was often to be found quizzing managers and players at the Silverlake, in her thirst for knowledge of her favourite game.
I'd only picked up a card and shirt signed by all the players on Friday to send to her.
Hopefully we could respect her passing in some way at today's game.
I'll keep you informed of any further news.
RIP Mary Lydia Finlayson, born 13th January 1973, taken far too young on the 6th April 2018.
