They are all heros the Country will be out in Force this November for rememberence day

Condolences to Simons family

What ever anyone thinks about the war these People truly are real life Heroes. My Heart goes out to his Family.

RIP Simon
My condolences to his family and friends.

I've just been informed by the club that they are unable to organise a minutes silence on Friday but they will be mentioning Simon in the match programme on Friday

That's a shame, but I'm glad they've tried and also that he'll be acknowledged in the prgramme.




I really hope you're right about this.

Rememberance Sunday seems to have been forgotten by many over recent years.

R.I.P.

Another brave young soldier gives his life for his country.

Hope your club have a minutes silence on Friday.

Both Castleford and Hull KR have had similar tributes along with the last post in the past couple of weeks to remember all our brave lads.

Its a shame, but know it takes a bit of organising to make it happen.

R.I.P. Simon, condolences to your family at this sad time, & "THANKS" for your sacrifice for all.

We always go to Rememberance Sunday at Swinton & take the granchildren as well, so they get to see it as an annual event not to miss as a thank you to all who have given so much through the years. I think this year will bring a massive turnout for everyone to pay their respects.[/quote]

how much organising does it take to stop for 1 min before the game to pay respect, i'm sure the flames wouldnt mind 1 less dance and its not as if we have mass entertainment proir to the game.sorry but thats not an excuse'we haven't got time'...

I'm disappointed that the club cannot do this. Maybe I'm a bit close to everything to be completely understanding as to why this couldn't happen... but surely it's a case of telling the match officials... who inform both teams. The only other people who need to know is the person on the microphone (Paul M) who needs something to read out... and the match commissioner.

Cadishead Rhinos will certainly be holding a minute silence before our friendly this weekend... would have been nice to see the City's only professional club do the same for a fallen hero of our city.

Sorry BBM, but what is there to organise.
Excuse my probable total ignorance on this but...
Players come out stand in the centre circle, and then the spectators and players stand for a minutes silence to show our respect to a brave local lad who died fighting for his country.
I do not think this is too much for the club to arrange.
