Yes it was well done. Not sure why Fabisnski did not wear band tho?? | | | |
Aberfan Silence on 21:35 - Oct 22 with 2034 views | sherpajacob | Thank you Watford fans for respecting. All you could hear in the family stand was the pro photographers camera click. My sons under 8s all held a minutes silence in the morning as well. impeccably observed. One question, was this done anywhere outside Wales today, and if not why not? | |

You are right it is basic decency. It's a sad reflection of where we are as a society, that we half expect the silence not to be correctly observed.. What puzzles me is why this tragedy is only being commemorated in Wales. | |

If you mean before every game today I agree. | |

Fella I used to work with found out his grandfather's first wife died of it when they were very young. He didn't even know his grandad was married before and he never spoke of it - he found it in his grandad's personal belongings after he died. [Post edited 23 Oct 2016 0:00]

I agree, as should rememberance sunday but the reality is that in the past the silence has not been fully observed. The Gleision miners was another silence which was not fully observed. Not looking for credit just commenting that it was well done by the club and all in attendance. | | | |

Senghenydd in 1913. Britains worst mining disaster. 440 dead including miners as young as 14. | | | |

There are numerous reasons that will be hard to swallow. The main one being it's in Wales. And England doesn't care. [Post edited 23 Oct 2016 9:55]

Can remember being in the Tenby pub late one Saturday night in the early 80s and some Swans fans just back from Nottingham saying how they'd trashed a Forest pub & the people in it after being on the receiving end of the Aberfan chant. | | | |

I've heard both Bristol clubs do it on a number of occasions and one Orient fan,which was quite odd. It's hard to understand what happens in some peoples minds. I include Cardiff fans in that with their Alan Davies and TC nonsense. | | | |

Yes they did. Cardiff bore the brunt mainly from that horrible chant, but I remember back in 1980 at Stamford Bridge when that chant was directed at Swans supporters. | | | |
