I'm the same and many others are but it's only 5 minutes earlier than I'd normally be there so it's not asking too much.

Although it does mean I will have to put up with 5 minutes more pre-match entertainment than I would normally like to, it's the sacrifice I have to make

bob on.....for me im happy they block the steps from the concourse.....would much prefer that they did that tbh......I walked up onto the ground during the Eric Ashton one last yr and didnt realise!!! felt alwful going up talking while it was goin on, even though prob only about 50 people heard me.....didnt realise til i got up the steps ! blocking the bottom of the steps would be a cracking idea and remove any possiblilty of embaressing unintentional mistakes from anyone

Well said

it is a well known sociological fact that people of low mental and social esteem sometiimes engage in acts that shock so as to get them the attention they crave but cannot get from normal people in society who reject them as being beneath them.

Like a shouty tramp after 9 bottles of cider with damp trousers.
we should pity these people, try and help them, and realise their views are not those of a sane mind.

Just watched that for the first time just; must confess I had a tear welling in my eye and a heavy heart. As a father myself I can only wish that I never find myself in that truly awful position. Absolute credit to Wakefield and all those that have helped and continue to help the Walkers.

I wanted to turn that off half way through. We lost our 21 yr old nephew suddenly just over 2 yrs ago and I know what that family is going through.

Really tough to watch and as Jinkin Jimmy said I was tempted to turn it off before the end. His Dad's concern for the Celtic player was touching too.

It was. Extremely.

ive seen games abandoned because of serious injury to kids and always been thankful it wasnt my own kid, but on those occasions ive fought back the emotion i felt for the kid .

im at a loss for words over this one.

The most heart wrenching part for me was hearing the little girl talk of him in the present tense.

Very brave of his Leon's Dad to give an emotional interview & give support to the Celtic player

Very moving indeed. I can't even begin to imagine it from their perspective.
