A minutes silence is a lot better than a minutes appaulase that is used in sports where the fans cant keep shut for a minuite if you get someone stupid enough to shout or make noises with thier phones they should be barred for life FULL STOP.

Lets hope everyone observes the minutes silence either way...

I can't decide whether it's a good or bad thing that the game is going ahead. I can't imagine the atmosphere...

Either way I think we'll all pull together to give him a good sending off on Friday night.

It's now that the club need our support more than ever after all the shock waves that have hit the club of late.

So let's get to the game in numbers Friday and show our respect to Leon and also get behind the lads and help them at this tough time

Well said Adam!

I would personally rather there be a week off, this is a great deal to take in, for me there will be too much passion on the day, the players minds will have a different focus which can be dangerous in our great game. I would hope that at sometime in the future we could get away from a mins silence and go for a mins applause. Reading up on the lad he sounds the life and soul of the party, I for one would rather us show our appreciation for playing the game rather than the silence as all too often the silences are spoiled by the one or 2 idiots.

Its a minutes silence for me. I know what you mean regarding the idiots but we should not change things just for a few scum bags.

Not just for the idiots, we can all sit and have a moments silence with ourselves whenever we need to say the little things and pay our respects that way, i would like for every game to kick off at the same time and just have the most amazing show of appreciation from every supporter that will attend every game. I appreciate that this will not happen but they are my feelings, we should celebrate people more when we have lost one.

After the imbeciles disrespecting the Watene minutes silence I would agree with BC.

Simply unacceptable.

I think a minutes silence followed my a massive round of applause covers both nicely.

I hope fans of both clubs come out in numbers to pay their respect for him and everyone honours the silence impeccably.

it's a sad state of affairs that this issue has to be discussed at all. Anyone who disrespects a minutes silence deserves to be banned for life

TBF yes there are some idiots but sometimes it's accidental - people not aware when entering a ground, leavings bars and toilets etc etc. Lets not make too much of this I'm fairly sure everyone at BV will do their best - maybe there will be a few who don't but we can't let them get in the way or tar everyone with the same brush. Thanks.
