Did I miss something? I read in the programme there was going to be a minutes scilence before tonights game and I don't recall it happening.

I think they forgot about it and did it at half time. As if things couldnt get any worse

The minutes silence was a debacle. As stated it happened at half time and i can only wonder what on earth the thinking was behind that. And as CCNo1fan has rightly pointed out just when you thought things couldent get much worse we balls up a minutes silence for a loyal supporter.

We were sat in the family stand and couldn't hear anything that was said over the tannoy, so had no idea there was a minutes silence going on until our daughter noticed the message on the scoreboard.

The vast majority of people around us were talking, not out of disrespect, just purely because they didn't know it was happening.

Hope there has been an apology to the family.

A complete farce.
No -one could hear the announcement especially in the wilows end where all we ever hear is a incohrent droan.
I beleive the minutes silence was 30 seconds !!
There should be a proper one held prior to the next home game, all the relatives brought down and given a VIP day out and a full apology from the club.

Couldn't hear anything he said over the tannoy. Did he even read the teams out?

Yes but I think it was in Welsh, well thats what it sounded like where I was stood.

disgrace they will have to do a a full minutes silence next friday.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm glad I didn't talk through it. I took my lad to the loo at half time so will have missed it. I think that is awful and hope they do it again and make a better job of it next week.

I'm sure it was mentioned a full minutes silence would be done prior to next friday's game, I mean how do you forget to do a minutes silence for anyone before a game this sums up the present state of the club, Ron derserves better than that.Disgusted and disgruntled.

The club is a mess how do you forget a minutes silence? needs a complete shake up from top to bottom.

The guy with the mic said there should have been a minutes silence at the start but the club had "cocked it up". Nice.
At least Ron will have seen better times in his 50 years watching the club.

i think they need to bring trish back to do all the organising it certainly wouldn't have been forgotten had she been around..

Not quite that easy to do the above. Was informed clubs just cant hold a minutes silence off their own back.
The club apparently have to get permission from the R.F.L. & then inform the refs prior to the game & then obviously the coaching staff, players & the opposing team, which I have been informed was all done, but for some reason it didn't carry onto the field prior to kick off.

I did apologise to the family present, who were quite understanding.

As I have posted, the family are going to scatter his ashes on the playing area late September. When a definite date has been finalised I will post on here & if anyone would like to pay their respects would be welcome & I think it would be nice to have a contingent of "Salford Fans" present to let his family see that Ron can be remembered with dignity.
