Was really shocked reading this. Truely awful. My heart-felt condolences to all of Ryan’s family and friends.
Dreadful.
Parents and family must be going through hell.
Thoughts also with @DanG_WFC and the others that were involved. Shocking stuff.

Cheers everyone, such a sad loss. Impossible how to comprehend how a day which was full with so much laughter, smiles and dancing (terrible in my case) ended in such a horrible way.
Us three are doing okay, supporting each other and we’re in constant chat to make sure we’re all okay. Thinking of Ry’s family, especially Jake who is another friend of ours who we see at the football every week too.
So many emotions at the moment but we’ll make sure he gets the justice he deserves for such a mindless act which has cut short a lovely quiet lads life, he wouldn’t have harmed anyone and the thugs involved need to be off the streets.
If you can, please donate, no matter how big or small. It’s doing so well and genuinely every pound puts a much needed smile on peoples faces.

What’s the world coming to when a group of youngsters visit a place which is designated for fun, only to be brutally attacked with such a devastating consequence.
Let’s smash that target and in so doing remind Ryan’s family that his other family, his UTS family, are thinking of them.

RIP - mindless acts of violence are a reccuring theme at the moment 
Hopefully justice is served in the correct way.
As Walsall fans we can be proud of what has been raised so far. But tbh it’s a numbers game if we could all share with other fans and clubs perhaps we can get the whole football family to support Ryan and family
So please if you feel the need share the legs off this

Really upsetting and depressing, deepest sympathies to all family and friends.
Although it’s in no way any where near enough all we as UTS members can do is make sure the go fundme target is smashed .

Absolutely I’ll second that.

The local lads chipping in (as well as obviously Wilkinson) is really lovely. Particularly Perry and Foulkes who are probably the lower end of earners.
Blows my mind that this sort of mind numbing bullshit occurs. Hope those responsible are caught and face the reality of their actions.

From what I’ve read and this may have already been said the amount initially put up of £1000 was surpassed in under an hour sterling work from everyone.It is amazing to see how people come together when tragedy strikes it never fails to get me emotionally it’s very touching indeed.
