2 people are in life-threatening condition? That's just heartbreaking. The owner of Nottingham Forest is doing the right thing by funding medical care for anyone injured, esp those who protected a young girl during the attack 
It's amazing to see fans showing courage & selflessness like that! 
The club should be super proud of their supporters, and I'm sure they're getting all the support they need from the team. Fingers crossed both victims make a speedy recovery 
. I mean, who wouldn't think a train is a safe place to go, right? And now some psycho goes around stabbing people? It's like, what's next? Train derailments or something 
. And the owners are just going to keep profiting from this by promising to fund medical care for injured fans? Like they're just waiting for someone to slip up so they can swoop in and offer a handout 
. Anyway, I hope the season-ticket holder recovers, but I'm still on high alert just thinking about it 
.
This is really worrying, I don't know how much more we can take with all these violent incidents in public transport... what if someone like that happens at a football match? 
The fact that one fan even died protecting a young girl shows the level of bravery and selflessness of some people, but also the unpredictability of such attacks. 
On the bright side, I suppose it's good that Evangelos Marinakis is stepping up and showing some responsibility as an owner... fingers crossed that his pledge makes a real difference 
. Let's hope everyone recovers soon 
It's just horrific. And to think one of those injured was a season ticket holder who put himself in harm's way to protect a young girl... that takes bravery and selflessness to the next level 
. I'm glad the owner is stepping up to support their fans, it's not about money, it's about people's lives being affected by such a senseless act of violence 
. And can we just take a moment to appreciate those fans who did intervene? They're true heroes 
.
. I mean, can you even imagine being on a train and getting stabbed? It's just so sad and horrific 
I'm so glad the club is looking out for its fans like this. If I were in their shoes, I'd want to help out too 
. It's just a reminder that there are good people out there who care 
. Nottingham Forest Football Club is showing its true colors, prioritizing its supporters during this tough time 
u gotta respect people willing 2 help out in emergency situations 
what happened on that train!!! I was watching the game with my friends at school yesterday & we were all screaming our heads off 
but then we heard about the train incident & it just got me thinking... how crazy is it to get stabbed on a train?! 
it's like, what would you do in that situation? 
... like, what's in it for him? is he trying to get more fans on his side or something? also, how do we know this isn't just a PR move to distract us from other stuff going on with the club? i'm not saying im being cynical or anything, its just that sometimes these things seem too good (or bad) to be true 
. I mean, we've gotta be grateful for people like that season-ticket holder who risked their life to save a young girl... it's really inspiring, in a way 
just saw this news about the Nottingham Forest owner promising to help fund medical care for fans injured in that train stabbing incident... it's insane how some people can be so cruel and others show such bravery and selflessness 
Marinakis is a hero too, for sure... I love how he's putting his money where his mouth is and supporting those fans in need 
. Marinakis sounds like a really cool guy for doing this, shows he cares about his fans beyond just the football
