The Walsall Football Supporters' Trust have issued a statement outlining their support for a planned one-minutes applause in memory of Walsall supporter Joel Richards, which is set to take place as the Saddlers take on AFC Wimbledon in the opening game of the 2016/17 Sky Bet League One campaign.
The statement, released via WalsallFCTrust.org.uk, the Trust confirm; The Trust Board would like to show their support of a one minutes applause in memory of Joel Richards at Walsall FC's first home game of the 2016/17 season against AFC Wimbledon at the Banks's Stadium on Saturday 6th August.
Joel, who lost his life in the Tunisian terror attack in Sousse just 12 months ago, along with his uncle Adrian Evans and grandfather Patrick Evans would have been 21 on the 3rd August and as a mark of respect, and in memory of, not only to Joel, Adrian and Patrick, but to everyone who lost their lives that day, we would like to encourage all supporters from both sides, to join us in a one minute applause on the 21st minute of the game.
