Why not at both? On Friday, an immediate response albeit from a smaller crowd then a full on response against the Swans when the place is (hopefully) rocking.

cidered abroad Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm always sad when I hear of those who go before their three score and ten years. From what has been said on here, he was a super guy who gave a lot to his family and friends. So remember the happy times. RIP fellow Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering whether there is another number for the MA (maybe his birthday) as people seem to disappear for HT from 40 mins. Just a suggestion mate.

Tipps69 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ok, so I have visited Batch’s family today & explained the situation, they are actually planning on going to the Swansea game as a family & are going to discuss things over the weekend but they are edging towards keeping the minutes applause for the 44th minute & would prefer this to be done at the Swansea game if possible but I should get a final confirmation over the weekend. I have passed on the messages of condolence from here & they are very humbled by it all & very appreciative. They are all doing as well as can be expected considering the circumstances.

Given the kindness already shown to Marcus by Scott, is it possible that the club can push the boat out on this occasion and put a picture of Marcus on the big screens on the 44th minute of the Swansea match (assuming that this meets with the wishes of his family)? So many times applause occurs anonymously with many wondering in whose memory they are applauding. It would be great if everyone can be encouraged to acknowledge Marcus in the presence of his family. Thanks in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Parsons Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Hi @Rudolf Hucker Everyone at the club were deeply saddened by Marcus' passing. I have been din conversation with Nick and have arranged for a photo and message of remembrance to go into the Swansea match program. Unfortunately we wont be able to put anything on the screen during the match as the club receives multiple requests from many families leading up to every home game. I will retweet any messgaes that are put out to drive awareness of the minutes applause. We are looking at doing something on the final home game of the season where we remember all fans on the big screen who have sadly left us during the season.

Matt Sounds a good idea, if there was a "moment of reflection" etc for those that have passed recently I think deep down we all understand there must be lots of these kind of requests and any recognition from the club is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt This should be done on the opening home game of the new season. The guys are around for the coming season, the next and the next. We don't die. COYR.

Tipps69 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO For those that are wishing to pay their respects to Batch at the home game against Swansea, I have just had it confirmed from Thalia that it is hers & Amy & Owen’s wishes that the minutes applause take place on the 44th minute. If it is possible to spread the word in whichever way, please do. Respect & thanks to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
