What about a 14 minute minute stand up and applause?

[Return of the Rev]

What about the Albion fans singing "stand up for the 14 years" on the 14th minute would be nice to get the whole ground joining in.
Could have a Petrov style minute with all standing, singing or just clapping,when the guy sitting next to you asks why this is done you can explain the 14 years of waiting for our own ground again.
Would be a nice reality check for a few and a way of getting the less vocal fans to take part in more than gosbts. Would help the new fans feel a little more linked to our past.

I'm sorry can't we just look forward now?

This - Villa do their 19th minute applause to support their club captains battle of cancer.

Hate it when people don't let go of the past, yes by all means remember occasionally but not keep going on about it.

I'd rather do a ninety minutes applause when the mods take away your ability to start threads

There's your winner of January 13 post of the month right there.

The campaign is done and dusted; we were successful; well done us. Can't we just get on with supporting the team now?

I like the OPs sentiment, but we don't want to end up harping on about the past all the time like Liverpool fans!

how would the whole ground kicking up a noise hinder the team?

 

[Cappers]

Since when have we been allowed to stand up?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What a very strange suggestion. Might have been apt for the first game I suppose, but now? Seriously?

Totally agree.

I think that there's a lot of people in south yorkshire police and elsewhere who would have been very pleased if Liverpool fans hadn't been "harping on about the past". I think they have every right to and justice would never have been done if they hadn't. They've been disgracefully slurred and I, for one, can't stand the narro-minded view that they are somehow pleading victim status. They were deliberately character assassinated by the establishment at the time to cover their own backs and I applaud every one of them who has stood up against it for so long.

Aren't you normally leaving about the 14 minute mark?

Never used it before..... Ignore user.

Fixed.

 

[nwgull]

No, but the next 2-3 minutes of murmuring while half the ground is explaining to the bloke next to us why we were applauding might.

You'll be missing about half of the daily threads on this message board by your hasty action!

Yep.

Try reading between the lines and not jumping to the conclusion that because it's Rev it must be shit like the rest of the sheep on here.
