The Gasbuster Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Great, great gesture again today at the Ricoh on 54m. Credit to many of the Cov fans for joining in. Total goosebumps at the time, followed by the best 'Divvy says, bounce around the ground' we've had in years. Well done all, proud moments and a great tribute Yep, pure class.

Well done all, proud moments and a great tribute Yes, observed by just about all City fans and many, many Coventry fans too. And so many people in Divvy T-Shirts. I'm sure he was watching from a better place and will continue to influence as he did in life, his work isn't done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hopefully this answers the question to those who don't understand the link up between the two sets of fans. I am betting divvy never imagined growing up he would have dutch fans chanting his name after his death. Nice touch from the guys from Tilburg.

RedM Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I've been thinking about this, would it be wrong to have a Divvy Minute every match, would a one minute clap dilute the tribute too much or will it galvanise us and respect his legacy even more, I hope so. It could be a positive during a match and we as a club could become famous for it? I've lost close family members I used to share football with and I like to think they are looking down. I would clap for both Divvy and them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would clap for both Divvy and them too. I think a 1 minute applause each game is a little much, and it would certainly tail off after a few games. Obviously a well like character and has been an inspiration to many the last few months, but he has been honoured and remembered.

pigeon Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I really am uneducated when it comes to the link between city and Willem... Could someone fill me in?

I would clap for both Divvy and them too. Its an interesting idea, as I would say as a tribute to all 'absent friends' in a wider sense. Even every home game would seem to high however. First and last league home game maybe every year would be distinctive, and no reason why not the 54th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 It would be nice if the clubs forged closer ties. Perhaps a pre season friendly every year, playing for the Mark Saunders memorial trophy. Maybe hold it at Ashton Gate one year and Tilburg the next.

Strawberry2157. Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 There's a great bond between villarreal on Spain and celtic. They played a preseason match for a cancer charity this year and villarreal played a 13 year old fan who has cancer & let him score. The video is on YouTube but I've no idea how to post it on here. .. it's worth a watch and very moving. Would love to see my club do something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, would it really generate that much interest? I don't think it would. I certainly would be interested, and there are a fair few on here .....but in the grand scheme of things, only a small % I think would turn up for it. The club would probally be out of pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would probally be out of pocket I strongly disagree. I think it would generate plenty of interest, and if there was a memorial cup as suggested (belting idea in my opinion) others who perhaps aren't aware of links would get involved. Sponsors would certainly get involved. It would only grow organically. What's more, the clubs could link more than just a friendly. Swap a few academy kids for a month or so between each, loan players, an instant scouting network in the Netherlands, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would probally be out of pocket I think there would be big interest,there already is. As for the money side,some things are bigger better, and more important than making a profit. We have a bond with a club from Holland,let's go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would probally be out of pocket If friendlies were based on interest and participation most of City's friendlies are meaningless. A Bristol City v Willem II friendly in Tilburg would guarantee a larger participation of away supporters than any friendly abroad in ten years has. A bold statement but more City fans have traveled to Tilburg than friendlies in Botswana, Latvia, Portugal, or Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would probally be out of pocket Name the friendlies that have resulted in a big fat profit for the club? Ajax? Royal Antwerp? Forest Green Rovers? Friendlies are about preparation, doing something different, trying something new in a relaxed atmosphere. Playing Willem II would be no different to playing Antwerp accept for the fact that we would need no segregation and we could have a proper party at Ashton Gate with both sets of fans having a laugh. Football is sometimes more important than money. RIP Divvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
