Bartonflyer : Mon Apr 11, 2016 6:38 pm  

Evening all,

Just a quick note for those who may have met him at matches over the years to say that my dad Bartonflyer, aka Ian Jones, passed away peacefully this afternoon a couple of years after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Typically, after 25 years following Salford home and away, he was fairly unaware of anything by the time we finally beat Leeds, so the last game we sat down together to watch was the dismal drubbing at Wakefield last week. If anything sums up a life as Salford fan, that's probably it.

I'm really sorry to hear that and send my condolences to you and your family. I don't think I knew him personally but he was a regular poster on here and he always had reasoned, balanced views and contributed well to discussions. He'll be missed

Very sad news, have enjoyed reading his contribution to this forum for a number of years. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Real sad news. Ian was an absolute gent. He gave me a fantastic unexpected day when he offered to take me up in the plane so I could take some photos of the stadium being built - that was all I was expecting, but Ian then added on a flight down to Shropshire, over Snowdonia and back along the North Wales Coast. Privileged to have known him.
