I've been asked by Jo's family to post this onto here.

All Jo's family have been Salford fans for years. You could say its a family tradition ( being proud salfordians). Unfortunately Jo's Grandad - Wilf Greenhalgh died 2 weeks ago. Wilf had supported Salford for 80 years and up until the season before last could still be seen in the main stand sat in his chair shouting on his beloved Reds.
This was mentioned to the club who to their credit not only sent a beautiful red and white floral tribute, but also sent Andrew Bentham as a club representative to the funeral. Andrew was a true credit to the club speaking to many members of the family ( about Salford of course).

As well as sending a letter of thanks to the club and mentioning them in the acknowledments printed in the Advertiser Wilf's family have asked me to place this post on here.

The club we all love has been on the receiving end of a lot criticism this past season over how it has treated it's supporters. However this goes to show that our club still knows how to treat it's fans properly. For once the club deserves a great deal of credit and recognition for it's actions.

All of Wilf's family can't express their thanks enough to Sir John and the rest of Salford City Reds RLFC for the compassion they have shown during this sad time.

On behalf of the whole family

THANK YOU

And to put it in Wilf's own words

COME ON SALFORD !

Sad news, we will have quite a suporter's club in whichever place they find themselves!

This is an area the club usually get right, they attend most of the funerals. The only bit they struggle with is the minute silence and that is probably because the RFL become involved.

I dont know if they do it at utd, but at City at the start or every year, they have a min silence/Applause for supporters or club staff that has passed away in the previous year. Maybe Salford coulod do this at the first home game of the year. just a thought

To answer CCNo1F I don't know if they do at OT not seen a start of a match let alone start of a season, normally 5 mins after KO. Usually the First home match of the season clashes with a Salford game so I miss that.
But this at City must be something recent in my time working there in the 90's that never happened, but it is a nice gesture.

Well done the club and AB

they started this when we moved to our new ground.

R.I.P to Mr. Wilf Greenhalgh, may he take some great memories with him.
Well done to AB and others at Salford RLFC who arranged this tribute etc.

RIP. It would be nice if we won something for the family. It's good to see the club doing a bit for fans. I bet that is going to mean a great deal to the family.
Well done to all.
