''We will be having the last post played with a minute silence immediately after''.

What do a section of the east stand do immediately after? A round of applause.

The chavs at the back of the South stand? One person clapped and they all found it hilarious and used the sound of laughter to shout out random, stupid things.

The build up was fantastic last night, a shame a bunch of thick idiots with no attention span ruined it.

I cringed, it was so embarrassing.

Unfortunately, they are 13-16 years olds who were only told once, 3 minutes before they were supposed to do something. Anybody with any experience of secondary education would know they would need telling at least 10 times and then reminding again just before it happened.

Said the same to my dad at the game.

We were in the south stand and it was cringing. I could understand the mongy chavs at the back laughing at their mongy mate starting clapping because they're idiots all canned up on shandy bass but what I couldn't understand was people around me(including middle aged folk, oap's etc) starting clapping aswell.

Overall though you've got to say fairplay to Wigan last night(off the field). I thought it was a fantastic evening and a great build up and to get nearly 19,000 people on for a game against Quins is outstanding.

I just think a lot assumed the last post was the minutes silence. The PA may well have said a silence would follow but it's not always easy to hear and with us not having had this type of silence at a Wigan game before I can see why some were confused. They'll know if their is a next time.

Exactly the same thing happened at the Leeds v Bradford game a few weeks ago, it is confusing.

Ppl don't listen, but I think lots were actually waiting for a whistle to start the minute silence.

The announcement was 'xxx will play the last post, immediately followed by a minutes silence' - Pretty clear to me.

It was within the capabilities of my eight year old son to understand it so it's a sad reflection on the mental ability of those that couldn't. Sadly this included a number of adults.

unfortunately I think it was down to communication / lack of listenting

One person clapped in the east and then everyone else seemed to join in, more as a sign of respect / appreciation, but it degenerated for a few seconds with the chavs who were quickly brought into order

I did notice that the players from both sides applauding (whether they joined in after the crowd started or not I'm not sure)

The cadets to the North side all turned and marched off as soon as the last post had played (think 2 stayed in their places)

On the whole it was a fantastic effort by all concerned. yes it wasn't perfect, but I dont believe that was through lack of respect

The applause for the serving soldiers bringing on the match ball was the biggest cheer of the night and nearly brought a tear to my eye. For some reason last night the per match really got to me and I have nothing but respect for all those who defend our country

I understood, but the ref should have blown straight after the last post, he left it for a few seconds which is why the East stand thought that was it. Absolutely no excuse for the chavs at the back laughing and joking through it though, probably been dragged up rather than brought up as the rest of us learned this from a very young age.

It was cringeworthy. Not difficult to understand in the slightest. Having said that, I wasn't totally surprised given the amount of braindead fans we have.

Thicker than a pan of lobbies.

Same little chavs who have had a few too many beers, if you noticed it sounded like a bunch of girls laughing at stupid lads. Could do with a few stewards camped out next to the chavs or have reserved seating.

Now thats how you do a ceremony, anyone who is watching the Sharks v Knights game will know what i mean.

As for last night it was a disgrace, get over this its confusing crap, stop making excuses for the dumb idiots in the crowd. No matter whether or not some people thought it was over how can you bang a drum and start a chant immediately after??? Shows what those scum really cared about, and it wasnt paying any small tribute to our brave service personal.

Im sorry if this seems an over reaction, however it really gets to me when people cant pay basic respect to them, just for a few mins.

Was amazing last year when i was at the Roosters Ancaz day game against the Dragons. Perfectly observed ceremony, that makes you feel so proud and then they had a black hawk landing on the field. No banging of drums, chants etc just fans paying their respects and tributes....
