On a serious note Dick Knight, credit where credits due.....

[Lenny Rider]

Took the time and trouble today to attend James Brynin's funeral in Pulborough.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Well done Dickie...

 

[timbha]

Respect to DK. Representing the club I hope.

Respect to DK. Representing the club I hope.

In the light of recent revelations I very much doubt he was representing the club but respect anyway

 

[Barrel of Fun]

What a bizarre thread. Why should someone be praised for attending a funeral?

I get what you are saying but sometimes you have to rise above such trivialities and stand up for what really matters.

Erm...

Anyway. Good on him.

What a bizarre thread. Why should someone be praised for attending a funeral?

Because whilst he knew of the family, he barely knew the lad in question, but was aware that he was a young Albion fan at an exciting time in the clubs history when DK was the chairman.

With the aforementioned book coming out and other things Dick's a busy man but he made the effort to take a few hours out of his day to pay tribute to a young man who has made the ultimate sacrifice for us all.

A bit mean-spirited.

Pretty much sums up my feeling.

Just why BOF had to make that comment is bizarre in my most humble of opinion.

Nicely put

 

[Sir Royston thorne]

What a bizarre thread. Why should someone be praised for attending a funeral?

Because the OP has great interest in funeral ethics and procedure.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

What a bizarre thread. Why should someone be praised for attending a funeral?

Did you go too?
Fair play and all credit if you did.

Massive assumption, but I would guess Dick knew the deceased equally as well as you did.
If he went and you didn't, suggest you keep your mouth shut.
