Earnie_flowers_2The club issued the following announcement on Friday via the official website:

 

On Saturday we are honoured to pay respects to Mike Dye. Following consultation with the family via the Supporters Club, the following has been arranged. We have invited members of Mike’s family to the game along with Gary Speed and Jonathan Ford as representatives of the FAW.

 

Both Cardiff City and Doncaster Rovers will be wearing black arm-bands as a mark of respect, while before the game we will be holding a minute silence, with Gary Speed joining both managers pitch-side.

 

Supporters have arranged to gather at the old Ninian Park gates at 2pm on Saturday, while details of a collection are online via supporters messageboards and social networking sites.

 

On Friday afternoon Robert Earnshaw represented both Cardiff City and the FAW by laying flowers at the gates. We are sure that supporters from both clubs will play their part in paying suitable respects.”
