Robin 101 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Without being disrespectful to people who prefer a minutes applause but this is in my opinion a much more impactful way of remembering those lost and something I hope City emulate. http://mobile.rovers.co.uk//news/article/2016-17/a-day-to-remember-3453886.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They call it their Gentry Day I believe but I think it`s an away game for some reason. Perhaps one of their contributors on here could clarify it for us.

downendcity Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Quite a touching idea, especially around Christmas time. It's a bit like the Oscars, where they have a montage of the stars that died the previous year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Its a really nice idea, only problem I foresee is the nominated name/photo submission system could (I hope not..but sadly we all know there are plenty of arseholes around) be picked up by disrespectful 'practical jokers' who would think it funny to submit names & pics of living people/mates etc in the hope they'd appear on the remembrance screen. Ruining the solemnity of the occasion. Hope systems are in place to guard against such abuse, it shouldn't be necessary but you know what some idiots are like.. maybe checking records of registered club membership/season ticket holders or something? (bit blunt but perhaps a photo of death cert should be submitted along with deceased photo and details?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
