The pitch announcer didnt talk about long lost family & friends

[erimus74]

As the club have done the past couple of seasons
Unless they did prior to me taking my seat 10 minutes before kickoff

I thought it was a lovely touch when the the club did this in the past when the pitchside announcer mentioned club representatives & everyones family & friends who had passed away this past 12 months with the music playing in the background, followed by a 60 seconds standing applause when almost everyone in the stadium would have had their own special thoughts of who would have been here, quite emotional & saddened it didnt happen

I was Driving to Saltburn as they kicked off Erimus, Daughters visiting so took her there for the day, Put Radio Tees on & they gave people a mention . He messed up a tad on one of the mentions like, talking about a Lady who had lost her partner who was a Big Boro fan he says I suppose you have now lost a little colour out of your life then quickly changing it to I mean a lot of colour . 

They mentioned a few on the radio yesterday though.

It might sound hard but all this clapping at a certain minute for a Boro fan who has passed on and you don't know gets a bit tedious.Where does it end.You could spend half the match clapping.When I die  there'll be a seat freed up, thats it.

[erimus74]

Thats why for me the opening game of the season is the one time & place to remember our family & friends who are no longer with us, nice touch

Every Boro fan is a big Fan like Coulby says it is getting tedious its a football game not a wake or remembrance service

You will be singing happy birthday next during the match

I Agree with Erimus it's a one off at the start of the season only takes a few minutes it means a lot to people who might be sat in the ground who's loved one has gone and gets a mention .

Yeah, it's sad to say.. but I think that people are getting a bit carried away. Obviously any loss of life is a tragedy for the families and loved ones.. anything involving young uns absolutely unbearable. These clapping things were normally reserved for national tradgedies.. maybe even worldwide.

Ex players and figures that have been well known to the club have rightly been acknowledged. But now it seems really tacky.. folks clapping and they don't even know what it's for. I think it's a gesture that has now lost its meaning (like taking the knee)

Fans go to games to watch football.. it's a celebration, it's escapism.

I don't want to go to a game spending 90 minutes going through the gazette hatch, match and dispatch pages.

Someone mentioned on fmttm about using the screen to run a slide show of all the people that have died.. that would be dreadful. Tacky, crass and inappropriate.

Clap for the players.. support the team.. party party party!

The resident comedian chips in with an epilogue of horse shit   


No one's saying sit there depressed for 90 mins reading the gazette death pages .


It's a few moments at the start of the season which meant the world to lots of people in the past there to witness their loved ones getting a mention is what Erimus is talking about. Stop twisting it 

[erimus74]

Agree with Lurack, its the beginning of the season when everyone comes together remembering friends, loved ones at a place where they enjoyed coming to

In with the Lurpack lies on his back waiting for the yellow rain.

What a hot splish splash, it gives him a rash but he can't wait to do it again.

A Polaroid snap of his favourite bell hat, no two look the same.

A Sowester hat and a waterproof mat he begins to play the game.

Wet my hotdog leg first THEN the bratwurst he screamed before he came.

Ban em Johnny, this one's too bonny and he's putting me to shame..

I'll probably get a mention and a minutes clapping complete with a wreath at the centre circle with me being an original "S"card, gold card and  recipient of the chairman's drink.

There was apparently clapping during the match for someone the family had requested it BBC Tees commentary mentioned it 

[newyddion]

All of this started with the ice bucket challenge, Bang your pots and pans for the NHS, kneel for racism, clap for.. err.. clap for something.

Hands on heads, fingers on lips.. heads, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes..
