I've always found silence to be a bit awful as showing emotion to someone who has passed. Celebration of their lives and achievements is what i feel is better, so prefer clapping.
It allows idiots to continue to chat away asking why they are clapping, show respect.
They never were it's only the total twats that can't help themselves these days.
That was always my feeling. With silence it only takes one idiot to ruin it. Happened countless times at the Goldstone.
That idiot was soon told to shut up. These days it's just not respectful
I remember being at an away game just after the Queen Mother died, think it was Peterborough, during the minutes silence and Albion fan thought it was funny to loudly sing “Where’s your mother gone”
Colchester?
I went to that match and don’t remember the minutes silence, maybe Peterborough did it because it was their first home game since her death
Well, it would start off being told to shut up and then it would sometimes end in minor chanting. Always a cringe worthy circus of disrespect. Expecting a whole crowd to stay silent is like telling a group of kids to make sure they've been to the toilet before getting on the bus. They'll always be a few.
Yep, very likely as I don’t think Col U would have organised it in time.
No wonder society is f**ked if we have dumb down to the pricks
Oh I don't know, the remembrance day parade where I live is getting bigger and bigger. And, my kids would never ever disrespect a minutes silence, they are 25,27,29 but even when I first took them to football, they would not do that.
