Phil Walsh Tribute from Big Footy fans.

[Stig O'Hara]

From Facebook, sorry if it's already been posted.

"Adelaide Oval will open its doors tomorrow to any and all who wish to recognise the time at which the Adelaide Crows were scheduled to play Geelong.

The South Gate on the Telstra Plaza will open at 2.30pm.

A siren will sound at 2.50pm commemorating the time of the scheduled opening bounce.

Patrons will then be invited to enter the arena if they wish to have a kick-and-catch.

At 4pm, another siren will sound, at which time patrons will be asked to leave the stadium.

Patrons are advised there will be limited parking in the eastern Wilson car park only and that entry will be through the South Gate only."

I'll be there.

Vale, Phil

Count me in mate. The footy and the Bigfooty community are in this together. #WeFlyAsOne #RIPWalshy

 

[Geoffa32]

Yeah am gonna head down after lunch. We are coming from country though so I think it takes about 2 1/2 hrs to get there. Prob arrive around 3ish? Can leave earlier if you wanna catch up.

Can't really plan anything as my day is a bit all over the place now.

Do hope to get there before four though.

 

[kirky]

Count me in.

Still trying to come to terms with this.

Thru adversity comes great strength.

Funny you should say that, I now cannot go down until Monday morning as something important to do with family has cropped up.

That's great - now we can go to the Adelaide Oval Sunday and Footy Park on Monday

 

[Allefgib]

what time Monday Whitey? I may not be able to get there if you go during the day (but that shouldn't stop you!)

I feel at an absolute loss as to how I can convey the sorrow I feel for you all upon the tragic death of your Phil Walsh + I can't even begin to fathom the suffering of Phil's wife + daughter, + yes, even his son.

Many of you will know that Phil Walsh was at Geelong from 1995 + he was a loved man from the Geelong area, so I hoped you Adelaide supporters might like to know that we are sharing your pain + your grief.

We are posting the following as our avatars to honour Phil Walsh, as a mark of our respect + in tribute to a wonderful man, who inspired an incredible football Club + so you guys know that we are thinking of you in this very sad time.



Vale Phil Walsh

Leave your name here if you would like to be a part of PW tribute from Big Footy users. I will arrange for flowers and a card and deliver them to the Club on Monday. PM me if you would like to meet at AAMI stadium on Monday. Any ideas please feel free to speak up.
Please no financial assistance needed, this is more about expressing sympathies to PWs family and the AFC and players.

Hi Whitey, is the tribute of flowers only for Adelaide supporters? If other BF members may contribute, I would like to, please.

I really hope I'm not intruding, I'd feel terrible if my comments on this post were an intrusion on your Board at this sad time.

 

[Allefgib]

They are MOST welcome Hell Kitty. Especially at a time like this.

 

[Kickpuncher]

Great idea, count me in.

Also just an idea maybe once enough time has passed we could set up some sort of donation to the Walsh family where we posters of Bigfooty could donate what ever we could whether it be $1 or $100. I'm sure there'd be supporters from every club happily willing to chip in.

 

[Allefgib]

I'm not sure money is the type of support they need mate.

 

[Kickpuncher]

I'm not sure money is the type of support they need mate.

I'm sure it's not, but I see it as a great gesture and it also shows the Walsh family how much of an impact Phil had on all of us.

I'm not going to knock wanting to make them feel supported.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Count me in the tribute. Can't make it but love from Sam

[Allefgib]

And you wouldnt change a thing..............

Nope.

One of the critical lessons out of this tragedy is the importance of family.

 

[whitey_1975]
