when is it? cant find owt after 30 minutes searching.

reason im asking.

does anyone think it would be a good idea to close the forum for the duration of the service as a mark of respect ?
or simply refrain from posting?

mods????
if you got your heads together with other mods??

sorry if its been done, or in the process of being done.

I'm not really sure how 'closing down the forum' or refraining from posting on RLFANS shows respect during during his funeral, but if others agree to it then by all means, I have no problems doing it.

To be honest, the best way to go about things is to continue to watch, play and talk about Rugby League at every opportunity we get as this seemed to be Leon's attitude to the sport. His parents requested for games to go ahead this weekend as that's what they thought Leon would want.

I think the best way to show respect is at the stadiums where we're a collective of RL fans standing side by side.

I see what you are trying to say BUT...i get the impression that the last thing he would wish for is for people to stop anything related to RL.

This weekends respect around the whole of RL in the UK is a great way to show respect, i believe this includes ARL games this weekend.

I agree with everything that's been said above. What better way to show our respect than standing silently for a minute and then cheering on what will hopefully be great games of RL this weekend.

Ahem. Four MODs in agreement with eachother

Where's Robinson when you need him?

Saints letting Wakey paste them tonight?

we are out for lunch this afternoon for a good old moan....

ok guys...i get what your saying.

personally i wont post, and i would ask anyone who does post during that time to refrain from "scoring points" and arguing.

cheers..wpm

Have been wanting to find out what day and time his funeral is, I'll be going up with a few others who played with him at Salford.

Check your pms

a chant of "theres only one leon walker" after the minutes silence?
i dont know if that will be deemed as "inappropriate" but i think it would do him proud. show that the whole of RL is thinking of him and his family as this terrible time.

I'll leave that to the Wakefield fans personally.

Agreed.

The funeral of Leon Walker will take place on Thursday 2nd April 2009 at St Anthony’s Church, Old Lane, Beeston, Leeds, LS11 7AA.
It will begin at 12.45pm.

I'll be there, thanks mate
