I like to pay respects but I didn't know who to pay it to. Maybe the Cumbria victims was appropriate and the past legends could have been honoured at our first SL fixture at Newmarket.

Agreed. I have no problem with paying my respects in fact I think it is a great part of our game that we do honour individuals and groups from time to time when it is appropriate, but today it was way OTT for me. I felt the Last Post and reading were in fact totally inappropriate at such an occasion.

Smacked of a club trying way too hard and getting it wrong on this occasion.

The whole thing seemed very random, a good idea in principle but the execution could've been better. I suppose the weather and the abject performance from the home side did not help matters.

Everything that was planned looked good in advance; in reality, it mostly fell on its ar5e due, by the looks of it, to sloppy planning and poor execution.

The kids kicking was indeed desperately unfair; it was obvious that none of them had a cat in hells chance of making that kick - I felt really bad for them!

the 2 young kids had no chance from that distance..they could have moved the ball to the 20...just for a pair of boots ?

I for one would like to take the opportunity to thank the club for the way in which they have supported myself and my family, when we lost our dad a couple of month's ago.

As far as I understand it there will a day every season, where fans' names who have passed away that year, will be remembered before the game.

I found it very touching, and I know my dad would have appreciated it. I'm sure this is felt by the other families also.

It was a lovely gesture, which my family really thank the club for.

My dad loved Trinity, although I wish he had put in a good word 'upstairs' for us today!

Well i'm with you on this, its probably the only thing the club got right today.

I was unaware this was the case, and as such it does make more sense, was this common knowledge or just known by those who were involved in the proceedings?

Agreed - we had a name on the roll of honour today and it was a very touching moment; I appreciated that. Everything before and after it though seemed a bit clumsy and cack-handed (including the team performance, but that's well covered in other threads)

I don't know if it was common knowledge. As although I'm a Wakefield supporter I travel from South Lincs to home games, so tend to be out of the loop somewhat; although I understand from other family members that there was something in the Wakefield Express about the nature of the minute's silence.

Francis S told me that the club had had many requests to remember fans, from families etc, so today was a result of the club listening to fans and trying to help. I think we need to really celebrate the things we do right as a club.

My dad wasn't one for the limelight, so would have liked the idea of being remembered along with other fans.

Yes it was.
Yes it was.
Yes we should celebrate this IMO.
