Just heard wigan are clsing their turnstiles at 7.55 until after the minutes silence to honour the loss of Leon Walker on friday night.


Quality move from a quality club!
no more to say.

Great move.

Lets hope everyone gets to there seats for it.

Shall we start a sweepstake on who'll be first to mention them re-opening to let people out at half time?

no lets for once hope that this gesture is met with the credibility it deserves, and the respect it deserves.


and then in 2 or 3 weeks back to normal

until then no pie gags from me.

Yep, I think it's a spot on gesture by the club.

Excellent move by the club.

Well done Wigan.

Indeed, Well done Wigan

More importantly, the stewards should be blocking all entrances to the seats from the concourse between 7:55 and 8:00pm.

Any disruption to the minutes silence will not be from late arrivals, it will be from people racing to their seats at the last minute with a pie and a pint.

Why do we need to do anything differently? Every minute's silence I've seen at the JJB (and there are too many IMO, but that is a different argument) has been impeccably respected. Mind you, I do occupy the classier West Stand!

I have never been at an RL ground anywhere where the minutes silence hasn't been respected. It's another proud tradition of TGG.

Makes sense, but as someone said, blocking the steps to the seats would be a more sensible step.

A friend of mine once spoke to me during a minute's silence for ANZAC day at a (then) Broncos match. I can think of few occasions when I've been more mortified.
