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.

Don't worry i'm sure he seen it.Best of luck.

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

Sorry to hear that. He always had something worthwhile to read on here, and he'll be sorely missed.



Condolences to you and your Family.

R.I.P Ian.



Sincere condolences to you and your family.

Sad news, best to all the family.

Sorry to read your sad news. It was my dad that started taking me to Salford in the early 70's. My condolences to you and your family

.

Sorry to hear the sad news, always enjoyed a matter with your dad when our paths crossed. My condolences to you and your family.

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.

Sad, Sad news. My Dad took me to The Willows too. I might not have been The Flyers cuppa tea but that doesn't mean humanity doesn't exist on here. Reading Iain's post justifies the true gentleman he was. At the end of the day, there's the bigger picture within life outside these chatrooms which makes the forum seem very insignificant. My heart sincerely goes out to Stouffer and your family...RIP Barton Flyer.

I'm sorry to hear this very sad news. His views on the team and all things rugby league were always worth listening to.



All our love and best wishes to you and your family from all of us up here in The Scottish highlands.
