Hat's off to SKY : Fri Mar 27, 2009 11:31 pm  

Well done to SKY sports for showing the tribute before the kick off. I thought it was a nice gesture.It brought a tear grown man and all that.

i didnt know what to do after that video of Mr and Mrs Walker. the ground was silent so i think everyone was in the same boat.

did anyone get to clip some idiots for disrupting the minutes silence???

all were well behaved near me

They did well but I think most credit goes to the crowd who were the subject of the haunting images between the message from Leon's family on the big screen until the teams came out.

No one disturbed the silence in the groud. I am sure of it.

The tribute was very nice of sky, certianly emotional watching it.

thank god for that!

i know that after the tribute when the crowd was still silent before the teams come out...... you could hear Eddie in the commentry box talking and some idiot shouted "shut your mouth you muppet" soon after he was clipped round the lug by an 80+ fella who told him to have more respect..... never seen anyone go so quiet in my life

only thing i could hear was a plane in the sky and a few sniffles around the stand

The word that came to mind in the build up was DIGNITY and as an outsider it seems the Wildcats have that in abundance.

Yeah you could hear Eddie but thankfully the silence had not started at that point.
