Even if it was "One Matt Gadsby etc" it was stilll interrupting an important message written by Matt's young widow, and even half-a-brain should tell us all to stay quiet, and if you didn't want to listen, at least be respectful.
Anyone who thought it was the right time to start chanting his name, well face it, the timing was awful, and you just got it totally wrong!
So Neil is quite right, even if maybe he didn't realise the exact nature of the chants.
Geoff, they weren't singing "there's only one Matty Gadsby" while the announcement was being made, it was the usual chants. The Matt Gadsby chanting started when they finally realised what had been going on. Several people leaned over the rail and were yelling at them to stop, to no avail. I just hope it didn't upset any of his family, should they have been there.
