The club should be made aware of the actual number of fans who have passed away so they can announce it before the minute silence.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

RIP Dad
so many that will not be there in body but I'm sure it will only take one of us to remember one of them and they will be there.

Did you hear Frank Skinner on desert island discs, he said his dad always made them watch Abide with me when the cup final was on the telly. When he sees it now he always crys thinking of his dad and when he started getting corporate invites, people wondered why he was sobbing at the start of the games.
I hope your dad and many others can be remembered at our new ground, I am sure he had some great days past watching the Albion at the Goldstone.

We could always start a thread on here listing names only (and dates obviously) and get it to the club some time shortly before opening day.
Sorry to hear of your loss.

I knew your dad, he was a top bloke. The send off in the Ellie yesterday showed how much he was loved and respected by many.
He will be sadly missed.
RIP.

Yes indeed. A lovely man. It's not just in Albion circles that he'll be missed.

Really sorry to hear this. Far too young.
My Dad would have been 72 yesterday but we lost him to cancer on 29th June 1990, aged 52 and 12 days. That whole Italia 90 period was totally surreal and the day he died still feels like it was just last week.
I still think about him everyday but I remember most of all the good times with him, a lot of which involved us going to watch the Albion at the Goldstone together man and boy.
The pain will ease eventually but the love will never go away.

My dad was 59 when he died and it certainly is young as another person commented. My condolences too. Mine was actually a Stoke fan as he was from there originally but insisted on taking me and my brother to the Goldstone for our first game and said how important it was to support your local club. I often think of that game when I think of him.

Sorry to hear that mate.
My Dad didn't get the chance to see Falmer either.
Somebody posted a picture of the Goldstone on here recently, and my Dad was right there standing in his usual place.
It's been discussed on NSC, about some sort of recognition of the number of fans that never got to see our new home simply because of the time delay.
Does anybody know if the club ever responded to this?

Thanks Greens :(
Condolences mate
Just lost my dad who first took me up The Goldstone forty years ago now
There was mention of a memorial at Falmer with all the names of people who didn't make it between 1997 and 2011 on it
That would be a fitting tribute

Hotdogs, extra onions
A balloon or a dove could be released to symbolise the departed fans.
I think a better idea would be a full page in the first programme listing the details you mentioned above.

The Albion should certainly do something , a memorial wall maybe and a minutes applause before the first game. My Dad died 2 years ago aged 92. He was a season ticket holder all his life apart from the last couple of years. My abiding memory of him was that day at Newcastle when we were promoted, he turned to me with tears running down his cheeks and said "this is the happiest days of my life i never thought i would see this day" I just hope all those that lost someone get a ticket for the first match.

This is such a brilliant, and important idea.
It makes me so sad to hear of these loses.
And I'm so, so sorry to learn of your loss.
