....for all the other Reserve team players who were on the pitch at the time, particularly Luke Blake who was Leon`s cousin, and Sam Obst who was also training alongside Adam when he fell ill . I can`t imagine how any of them will cope, but particularly the 2 mentioned above. I am sure the Rugby League family,the Wakefield branch in particular will rally round them. Sadly this is something we are becoming rather practised at this season, I just wish it wasn`t so.

also the Celtic players

And the coaching staffs and match officials involved as well.

every one , the officials the medics and physios ect and the spectators.

very sad indeed

When the reserve team next play, let's get down there and support them. They will need our support just as much as anyone .

what a great idea ! can someone post when the next reserve team game is please ?

4th April - Bradford Bulls - Belle Vue - 14:30

That is the new game on the fixture list. As the game on Friday against Saints reserves has been postponed

Brilliant idea, would be great to see a good attendance to spur on the lads and show our support for them

I'll be there, be nice to get a thousand in there to support them!

Great idea, definitely agree with that!

How much is it normally into the reserves? Could we possibly make it free to enter with donations on the door?

The free tickets could be given out at the Saints game?

I'm sure most people would donate five quid to covr the costs?

I think it's around £3.

I will certianly be there. And like the idea of having a collection.

Excellent idea, I am going for sure

These are the people I have been sparing many thoughts for, the family members, and the players and staff of both clubs.
They will all need as much support as is available.
I will certainly be there.

count me in.....

think that was a great idea Adam,

was thinkin of wearin a black arm band on Friday in memory of the lost ones but dunno if its a great idea,

A Superb idea that I'm sure the club would wholeheartedly support.

Think also it would be part of the healing process for Leon's team mates and coaches to join the 1st team on the pitch for the minutes silence this Friday and show the nation the solidarity that is Wakefield Trinity.

Another 2 for the reserve fixture.

£3 mate and good value it is too.

Without aproaching the club i don't know, and of course nows probably not a great time.

Sure is good value. And I think the club may like the idea of donations. But of course the decision lies with them.

Hope good support will show for the game.

i'll be there with my boys

Id be interested in popping down, would other clubs fans be welcome?

edit: having checked chances are ill be watching York City, would like to be kept up to date re the donations idea. If i was able to donate online it would be something i would seriously consider

There are some excellent ideas on here - if anyone has a contact at the club they should suggest them as ideas to act on. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some things already in planning but always worth giving positive ideas from the fans.

1) Reserve team to join the minutes silence on the pitch - excellent thought. The directors usually join in the line up on the pitch and giving the players who were there when this happend the chance to join the remembrance of Leon could help them realise the support they have from the public.

2) Promoting the next reserve game on 4th April : I was dubious about this as a big crowd may put more pressure on the lads playing in their first game since the tragedy. However, as the crowd will be there for the right reasons then it is worth pursuing. While it will be in memory of Leon, it will be to support the lads to keep on going. If the game could be publicised at the Saints game on Friday and the Leigh cup match the week after that should get a few more people down. Making it free admission or admission by donation would be even better : I doubt that the number of fans usually paying for the reserve game will make a big difference to the clubs bank balance and more could be made from donations / food & drink sales, etc. The only risk for this is that the club need to arrange & pay for stewarding for whatever number of people will be attending so they would need to have a rough idea of how many would turn up.

3) When the game at Celtic Crusaders is rearranged, make it at a convenient time for most supporters (Saturday 3pm or 5pm would be reasonable). Then see if a coach company is willing to provide as many coaches as needed to take as many fans as possible to the game & back either at basic cost price or even better at subsidised prices or free of charge. Someone will have to pay for the coaches / drivers / petrol but if we can make it as cheap as possible to get a big turnout it would hep the team and would give us a chance to thank Celtic for their support during and after this tragic event.

I'm sure there are other great ideas around and as time passes there will be time to review them but the support for the first reserve game needs to be worked on from Friday onwards if it is deemed to be a good thing to do by the club and Leon's family.

Of course, most definitely!

Course you would be welcome, any fan is welcome at BV any time mate.

I like the idea of the reserve team players going onto the pitch for the miniute silence, that would be a nice mark of respect.

The next reserve game, i think the lads would appreciate the support and hopefuly a lot more than normal. They will want to do Leon proud and like the first team I am sure they will.

As for the Celtic away fixture, i shall be there. Eithier go for weekend or go for the day if a coach is put on by eithier supporters clubs.
