richard broadley fans singing

Quoted from bigdavemariner

Just been reading his facebook and reading the other post about what happened. It's shocking, gutting and makes you so bloody angry! getting myself into a right old state here. It really is heartbreaking stuff and it's such a cruel world we live in.

Didn't know the lad at all, had never met him, but it's clear to see by reading the sheer number of bday messages he got just a couple of weeks earlier how popular he was.  Nothing can really put into words how his family must be feeling right now, so I hope they find some comfort in knowing he was such a popular lad.

Well done to everyone who paid their tributes today. You'd have made him proud I'm sure and I'm sure it means alot to his family and friends.

Seconded.

Really was fantastic today, a great tribute to the lad. Proud to be part of the Mariner's family today and I'm sure Rich would have been proud of all of you.

I had to go round to the press box after the game and I walked into this! Terry Ruddram who used to be the ground safety officer came up to me and explained what it was about. He was obviously very moved by what had happened and after hanging about and witnessing events....so was I.

Whatever the arguments about team selection, who the manager is or whatever is going on in the boardroom....we are all part of a unique club. Grimsby Town brings us all together and today I was proud of being a Mariners fan. RIP Richard.

EXACTLY

Just seen the highlights of the Alfreton game and the post match interview.  The singing in remembrance of Richard is superb (you can hardly hear Hurst speak).  Well done to all involved.

R.I.P RICH

oh n thanks for the half time team talk,it obviously worked.x

I haven't had the internet for a while so sorry for the late message.

it was amazing the other saturday and I promised gilly I'd sing non stop no matter what, Rich would have loved it he was always one up for a good atmosphere! I lasted all the way until after the game when his family went onto the pitch then i started roaring, thats when it really did sink in for me   Devastated is an understatement. I've known Rich and played football in 3 different teams with him for years (i've paid for his name on the back of all our sunday league tops) What is happening this Tuesday sounds incredible and by the sounds of it the top left is going to be even more full Tuesday night, so hopefully it'll be more of the same! Wish he was here to see how much he is loved and missed. Gilly has been amazing through it all, how he's kept himself going and been their for Rich's family is nothing short of amazing.
R.I.P Rich x
