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

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.

He even said at one point he was the only one talking in the whole ground.

He handled it well and the images they showed spoke for themselves.

At that stage there was no official silence, and he talked about Leon.
I thought the whole thing was very moving, and a very nice tribute.
The only time anything has come close for me, was after the IRA bombings in Warrington when two young boys were killed. The two teams (Wire and Saints) walked out side by side in complete silence. That was incredibly surreal and eerie, and I have always felt it to be a great tribute.
Well done to Sky and everybody at the game for respecting this. You could see the emotion in the fans eyes that they showed on TV.
