Would have been a nice touch to show some class and respect beyond footballing rivalry. Do you honestly think, rovers will have a minutes applause when lansdown passes?

Dr Balls Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 RIP to a true supporter of his club. Anyone who is willing to step in and financially support their own local team deserves to be recognised by other football fans, whatever the club. Even the Gas!

Long illness; no more details given here:- http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/update/2017-10-21/former-rovers-chairman-geoff-dunford-dies/ Far too young anyway; always sad to see anybody pass away especially taken early and who gave a lot to Bristol Rovers along with his father.

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 RIP Mr Dunford. You loved your club as we love ours and there is nothing wrong with that. You were a proper football man too by all accounts and there are all to few of those left nowadays. Condolences to your family and friends.

Barry Sheene Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Very sad news. Just at an age where you can enjoy your retirement is a heart breaking. RIP Mr Dunford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, and certainly not in a hurry to find out either. Personally think that mutual respect in death despite lifetime rivalries is a laudable human trait so why not? Hope public acknowledgement and condolences for Mr Dunford are made at the Palace game Tuesday, and respected by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what they do to be honest. Just thought it would be a simple and classy gesture to show respect beyond rivalry but not even an acknowledgement from anyone I tweeted.
