Is it time to end One Minutes Applause for supporters who have passed.

[SWP's back]

It also depends on how well known they were. There was a huge outpouring of grief when GSC, Bluebird1 and Billy Big Spuds passed away. They were known posters. The latter was a friend of mine.

A Blue of 75 years may have died last night. Sad? Very. Will it knock me? Not as much as from people I knew.

But 99% of those applauding won't have known the people they are clapping for anyway.

The poster you quote has a point, it shouldn't be a popularity contest and all should be remembered at New Year as it always used to be.

New year and that's it as you say it's not a popularity contest. I cannot believe the club allow Natalie pike to promote that kind of match day applause, she has had her time now I think we need new less,corny blood

When i lost a good mate it was certainly nothing to applaud.
