Tonight's Match - Special Request

[MYU]

Hello everyone,

As I'm sure most of you are aware, we at Worthing United FC lost two of our players tragically last weekend during the Shoreham Airshow disaster. Everyone at the club has been deeply touched by the reaction of the wider football community and how it has rallied around and offered its support and condolences to everyone affected. We feel that this is an incredible tribute to two humble, unassuming, incredibly generous and popular young men who would have never have expected such a response and we thank everyone for their kind words and goodwill.

The football league have asked all league clubs to participate in a minutes silence as a show of respect for those that passed away on Saturday. As a club, we would be eternally grateful if anyone attending these games would be good enough to record footage of this and pass it onto us. We are hoping to collate all of the videos and pictures so we will always have that moment when a nation of football supporters came together to remember two of our own.

Thank you again.

I echo the sentiments, incredibly sad.

On a lighter note, judging by the atmosphere at Loftus Rd we are observing the minute's silence for the full 90 tonight...

I e-mailed them the media teams details. Pretty sure they will have some form of recording.

Dear everyone at WeAreTheRangersBoys.com,

Thank you so much for posting our letter on your forum. Your kind words mean so much to us at this desperate time and I'm sure Matt and Jacob can't quite believe the response they have received. Messages from football fans like yourselves up and down the country have been incredible and I cant put into words just how much it means to everybody associated with Worthing United FC, and I'm sure all who knew Matt and Jacob. The Impeccably observed minutes silence at Loftus Road shows how tragedies like this really can pull communities together and you and your fans are a credit to your football club. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

Warmest regards from everyone at Worthing United.
