The Stand without a name...

[marco]

great work, i said to my pal before qpr we'l do it today for your dad 'the guy passed away not so long ago and his empty seat is next to him'

That's what football means to every fan.

The chance to witness special days like that, and to look to the heavens with a quiet word "we finally did it dad, mum, brother, friend"

Fantastic poem.
Deserves to be in the first home game programme... can someone with influence make it happen?

What a beautiful poem.

As has already been said, it deserves to be in the first programme next season.

I told him not to worry, as his Dad was seated here,
And though we couldn’t see him, “he’s in the extra tier.”

Great line.

Thank-you for the poem.
Brought a tear thinking about my dad who I lost in 2010

I thought long and hard about the line to which you refer, but as this is a poem about lost loved ones, I figure we're all on the same side on that subject and I didn't want to claim that only the Etihad has the extra tier. It was a light hearted dig at them 'they probably have two!' Plus, it's not easy to make lines fit, I'll take any help I can get!! ;o)
