It was invite only. Anyone there would have been at the request of someone, I don't know if it was family arranged or Rangers etc but everyone there will have had some kind of a relationship with him. I don't think it is for anyone to cast judgment on who is there. No one knows the length of personal relationships he had in private. As Rangers fans we only loved him from afar, we don't own his memory or even a piece of it. ForeverAndEver, Essandoh, Amokachi and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was invitation only and that somehow makes it worse that they took and responded to that particular question at the AGM in that manner knowing they were going today.

I’m as disappointed as most people in the manner of his departure but right up until that point he conducted himself as you would wish our manager to and I believe his words following Walters passing were heart felt. I dont think for a minute he would have disrespected the memory of Walter by just not bothering to turn up and (imo) I think as Dude eluded to, there may have been more to his non appearance… jintybear, HG5, VanVeenRangers and 7 others 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be grown up enough to let someone like Steven Gerrard attend something like this without hassle. I think its absolutely disgusting that people feel that they want to "vent" at an event such as this.

Yeah I agree they should but can you imagine the media frenzy him being there would have caused , today was rightfully all about Walter and its a bit of a shame that gerrard couldn't have come and paid his respects but it would have taken focus from what today was all about TamCoopz, Bluekev, HG5 and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.

I agree but you have seen the level of hate directed towards Gerrard on this forum alone....the last thing needed today was for someone shouting "rat bastard " when entering a memorial service, not saying it would have happened but it looks like the club perhaps took this decision based on a chance that it may have happened, nothing should have been a distraction to Walters memory, certainly not Steven Gerrard HG5 and AlbertzLoyalRSC 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard will have been very fond of Walter as well and its sad that he will have been told (supposedly?) to stay away. HG5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
