    Indeed. If fate is going to take you relatively early, then at least to be able to say you gave people memories they'll take to their graves is a much as you can ever hope for. I'll raise a toast to t

Holdsworth was on 5 live this morning. Spoke very well. Was later asked about the takeover and said today was not the day to talk about that but a day to remember Gartside and his family.

Evening everyone.

 

I have been asked to pass on how appreciated all your kind comments have been. Phil was Bolton through and through and loved the club dearly. The family would like to thank you during what is a very difficult time.

 

RIP Phil thanks for the memories

What you achieved as Chairman will last forever. Great dignity to the end. My thoughts are with your family and friends. RIP Phil.  

RIP Phil, you did nothing but good for BWFC and gave us all many good memories...once a wanderer always a wanderer.

For those that are too lazy to click the link above, there is to be a period of applause in memory of Phil Gartside before the match tomorrow, o please be in your seats early

(unless you are in the ESLSC obviously)

What ever happened to a respectful minute's silence meticulously observed? So much more dignified than the happy-clappy Scousification ritual for the attention deficient.

Mr Phil Gartside deserves more respect than that.

Maybe it's what the family want.

 

Maybe it's what he wanted.

 

Celebrate life instead of mourning death.

while i agree with you, at least it cant be ruined - i actually dont think it would be, but theres always the chance of one or two attention seeking móngs fcuking about

 

also, if you dont want to clap, stay at the bar, please

I won't be there in person, but I'll stop what I'm doing at 3pm and clap for a minute.

I'll have my Besiktas replica shirt from the game on for the day - knowing my luck, I'll get twatted by some Fenerbahce  fans at Knutsford services on my way up

Confident this will be well observed. I'll take my seat early for a change.

I'm gutted about this, minutes applauses are terrible and a silence would be much more fitting. At least it won't get ruined though.

Think I'll dig out a shirt from the European days later... Remember the good times

 

Obvs will still fit

Just make sure your not at a match that's having a minutes silence for something

That's a decent idea.

 

Mine might be a bit baggy

3 points today for Phil will do.

 

& wins for burnley, Fulham & a draw at MK....

They're what he would've wanted

So steer clear of anfield

Was a good clap yesterday for PG. Well done lads and lasses and the QPR lot.

 

The Gartsides were represented yesterday, and being at the game with my Dad and my nephew, I can only imagine how hard that was for their family. Very brave if you ask me.
