This would need to be arranged for by the club if we did a minutes silence but does anyone know who to contact if not, anyone on here that can plan a minutes applause properly during the match if the silence cannot be arranged?
EDIT: Also saw it should be done on the 47th minute as he was 47
Cheers
red or blue we should be doing this.

I believe the club wanted to do something at the spurs game, But as his wife will be in Scotland for the David Haynes memorial and she can't attend, they are going to do some thing. But not sure when.
Same from me.stonerblue said:I have nothing but respect for Henning but i'm sick to the back teeth of minutes silences/applause at the football. It's getting to be every game now.
Personally i go to the match to forget about the worlds, and my, problems

That was the one that turned me against a lot of the public grieving. From memory someone decided 1 minutes silence wasnt enough for a tragedy such as that so we all had two minutes silence. Struck me that it was becoming less and less about respecting the individual and more about being seen to do the right thing.tidyman said:jimharri said:Could be deemed in some quarters as ''political'' and I'd imagine the FA/PL bigwigs would want to avoid any controversy.holiday said:Why?
I think every club had a minute for that Ken bloke who had his head chopped off a few years and he had no connection to Manchester and was over there to earn a load of dough not to help people.

citykev28 said:Right, get ready for the most confusing family going with regards to football teams;
Alan was a tiny bit of a blue. My Dad took him to Oakwell in 1981 for his one and only match in the League Cup. Barnsley 1 Typical City 0.
My Dad is a blue and season ticket holder in the South Stand with our kid and their sister is a blue whose 1st ever match was 4-0 v Newcastle when Bell made his comeback.
Alan's son is a red. I was trying my best to convert him only last night at the memorial in Whalley Range.
Alan's older brother is a Blackburn Rovers fan.
Their Dad (my Grandad) was a West Ham fan who moved to Eccles when he came out of the army.
I agree with what some are saying about football being an escape. I do believe something will happen at a forthcoming match though.
I don't think anyone who doesnt think it should take place has suggested they are tempted or feel the need to disrupt any minutes silence that may or may not happen.oakiecokie said:Can I suggest that if this goes ahead,can all those miserable fuckers who don`t want it to happen,just stay on the concourse or go for a shite.

Not me ! I aint the one complaining that "we have too many of these nowadays" so stop trying to pass the buck.If you don`t want to be involved then just keep the fuck away for that one minute.Simple solution.
