Thank you to everyone who has passed on your comments regarding the tribute to John. The Holmes family have organised for the funeral party to go via Headingley so the fans can say one final farewell to John for those who can not make it for the whole funeral service. If you are coming down in your car, head for Car Park F, (the old training ground) and then line up along St Michael's Lane on the South Stand side. If you can be there for around 2pm that will make you sure you are then in plenty of time.

The flags not being at half mast was simple human error by the guy who puts the flags up and apologies to anyone this caused offence to however hopefully all the other actions taken were not diminished by the flags not being at half mast. I will ensure that they are at half mast on Monday.

Unfortunately, a number of us will be at Old Trafford for the Grand Final press conference on Monday but the playing and coaching staff will be represented at the funeral and John and his family and friends will be in our thoughts and prayers on a difficult day for them all.

Once again thank you for your comments, I will certainly pass them on to all those involvement, particularly Gary who was instrumental in organising things from our end for his former team mate.

Regards

Phil

PS If you have any issues in future, the quickest and best way to get hold of me is emailing me at phil.daly@leedsrugby.com as Paul did earlier in the week to spread the word about the scarves. I just happened to be online this morning and spotted this but had not received any other correspondence about it so could have missed it.
