Baxter said he felt it was the “right decision” to abandon the game and his players “were not keen to play on”. <\/p>\n
“If you don’t have an ambulance here then you’ve no cover,” he added.<\/p>\n
“While there was one or two medical people still in the stadium, it didn’t feel right for everyone. <\/p>\n
“It was the right thing to do. Football is a game we all love and enjoy, with the friendships and camaraderie, but when it comes to someone’s health, you make all the right calls for the right reasons and the right decision was made today.”<\/p>\n
That was echoed by Bangor’s assistant manager, Dean Gordon, who felt it was the right thing to stop the game despite his side holding a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
“First and foremost, we wish Paul all the best. You have to consider him at the end of the day, and his family were there watching,” he said.<\/p>\n
“It was the right call to make. The players had been standing about for 25 or 30 minutes, and some of the players had seen the incident as well.<\/p>\n
“It’s frustrating from our perspective as we were winning 1-0, but it was the right call.”<\/p>\n
Baxter said that improvements for stadiums in the Irish Premiership “can’t come quick enough”. <\/p>\n
