Guest oliver666 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 RIP fellow owlsThat was a very very sad day for their families and close friends. They are Wednesdayites and they will always be remembered. The next visit we had at Coventry proved that point when all in the ground paid their respects including Coventry football club and their supporters. We will nor forget our loved and lost ones.

R.I.P Steven Fairbank & Shaun Rhodes. I was at this game. Very sad. We were on our way back to Leicester (I was at Uni there) On our way back part of one of the motorways had been closed. We though something might have happened, but never thought in a million years it would be two lads at the same game as me. Never forget the minutes silence at the Derby and the tribute the following season at the Ricoh. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barn_owl Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I remember the next match was United at home and when they announced we would be having a minutes silence I expected the worst from their fans. To their absolute credit they observed the silence and held up the names of the two lads. They really went up in my estimations after that. It goes to show that rivalries can be put aside when it comes to things like life and death, it really puts things in perspective. RIP Steven & Shaun.

Mikes Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) RIP lads MARTIN`S TRIBUTE Posted on: Fri 17 Feb 2006 Well good morning. I have just been informed of some very sad news. Two men in their mid twenties died in a car crash after watching Sheffield Wednesday at Coventry City in midweek. The men were Wednesday fans. I did not know them personally but I feel as though I knew them. I wonder if the two men clapped our team off at Hillsborough when we got that draw in The Great Escape? I wonder if these two men were part of the crowd that made such a unique night at Griffin Park in the Play Off Second Leg. I'm sure everyone at Brentford Football Club will be saddened by this news. We all have great respect for that club and it's magnificent following, and their supporters were terrific in sponsoring my Bike Ride. I think it's important that each and every one of us who loves supporting our team has a moment in the day to realise our lives are more important than football. God bless these two men and their families. Take care.

Went out of his way to acknowledge this despite the fact it didnt really have anything to do with his club, that man has gone up in my estimation. However i digress, RIP to two lads who paid the a big price for supporting our boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtswfc1 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Doesnt seem like four years ago, i remember coming home from that match and seeing the police cars flying past on the moterway never for one minute believing it was for fellow owls who had just been watching the wizards with me.

TheWednesdayFC Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 RIP Shaun and Steven. I didn't know you guys personally but you were part of the Wednesday family.
