Saunders87 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Evening guys - I'm hoping you can all help. My uncle Darryll Saunders, a life long city fan and season ticket holder in the dolman stand sadly passed away suddenly on Friday. The family and I are hoping to arrange a minutes applause for him in the 67th minute the year he was born against Derby this Saturday. Thank you in advance for helping make this happen. **Mods apologise if this needs to be in non football chat but want to make sure this reaches everyone.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've amended the title to include the minute the applause is planned for people who might glance at the thread but not read it. Often I've been at games when applause starts and people are asking what's going on,who it is for. Hope this might help and encourage people to pay their respects by joining in.

Drew Peacock Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Perhaps we could have a minutes applause for Jack Sheppard in the first half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 RIP Darryl and Jack. I am personally all in favour of a minutes applause at the final home game of each season to remember the hundreds of City fans who have passed over the season, some obviously personal to ourselves. While on the subject, does anybody know if the memorial garden is still a possibility for fans to place ashes, or lay flowers. I know it was for AV but not sure if the idea has been shelved.

Tweeted and emailed him and tweeted a few of the current players to but none have responded. Scott Murray messaged me saying he will spread the word and Brian Tinnion has retweeted.

OldlandReddies Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 my son who is also a season ticket holder like me, works with Darryls son so we will both be joining in to celebrate his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm all for commemorating our fans when they pass away, I think it's fantastic and really important. I've suggested on here before that it might be easier to organise if we did it at the last home game of the season - the names of all our fans who passed away during the season could be read out before the game, then a minutes' applause for all of our brothers and sisters, then 'Drink Up Thy Zider' played - I think this would be a perfect way of making sure every deceased fan gets the same recognition... And to the OP, really sorry for your loss mate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hits home when someone around your age passes, especially if they are a fellow red. BS4 - When the screen is in this sort of thing will be much easier to coordinate and re your end of season suggestion they could show pictures/names etc on the big screen.

Red Skin Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 RIP Daryll. No age at all. @BS4 on Tour... & @Sleepy1968 Great idea. A bit like the section they show at the Oscars of actors who have passed away in the previous year. Very moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine during the applause, just closing your eyes and picturing your loved one / friend, and imagining that 27,000 fans are clapping him or her, however long they have been gone. There wouldn't be a dry eye in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to the OP, really sorry for your loss mate.. 100% agree If every City fan who lost someone during the year wanted a minutes applause for a lost family member/friend we would have several minutes of applause in every game. A minute for all who passed during the course of the year before the final home game would be perfect. Not sure about all of the being read out, as it could be potentially hundreds, but certainly all the names on the screens and a minutes applause.
