If there is one, they certainly wouldnt label it as a "lap of honour", more of a chance for the players and coaches to say thanks for the support over the season.

Even then, there wont be loads in the stands.

I agree with this, it should be a lap of respect to the fans rather than a 'lap of honour', I'll probably stay until the end - might not clap though.

I voted for Option D, as this was the best fit. However, I won't stay as it would be hypocritical. I think that the majority of the players this season have given the perception they don't care and the team have not performed as a unit. With a few exceptions, Calde, Ince, Stockdale, Ince and maybe a couple of others we've been very poor and lucky that there are three teams worse than us, one team in Directorial & Financial Armageddon, one with similar financial issues and Millwall!

They should keep the players out on the pitch after the game and get it over and done with as quick as possible.

Personally they shouldnt bother.

I want to say goodbye to half our players, so I'll watch and hope we can do better next season. I've clapped them all season, so will have no problem doing so again, I'm sure they don't intend to be shit :smile:

Yes, might as well now disaster has been averted.

Fans who want it will stay, those who don't will be on the train or in the bar.

Not a lap of honour as such but it would be a good opportunity to give people like Ankergren a decent send off.

None of the players deliberately play poorly but in all honesty not many of them deserve any applause. I can't be there on Saturday but if I was, there's no way I'd applaud a squad who managed to avoid relegation simply because there are three sides who, unbelievably, are worse than us and goal difference appears to have saved us. I will be at Boro but can't see myself being too eager to applaud them for their season's efforts. Support during the game though is a given.

I said no, but if there is I won't watch... not because I don't want to clap/watch them, but because I don't want to witness what I expect will happen which is a polite clap from some and a lot of booing from the rest. After the season we've had they should just leave the pitch on sat as usual and play their next game at the Amex as a completely different side, deserving of a lap of "honour".

Yes there should be one, as mentioned for the players to thank the fans for their support. But I won't stay for it as I won't be there. If I could be, then I would. Up the Albion!

Yes, I think they should - but straight after the game, rather than going into the changing rooms and coming back out - there would be nobody left in the stands to watch.

Perhaps get Phil Brown in for the day and put the entire squad on the naugthy centre circle for half time instead :wink:

Wouldn't call it a lap of honor, more a lap for the players to thank the fans that have stuck around to watch that pile of rubbish every weekend. I will stay but only really to applaud a select few players.

Two birds with one stone here, why don't they wander off at the final whistle, then return each sporting a potential away kit for next season? Scorecards aka clackers upon each seat, can be held up for marks out of 10.
This way PB can gauge which will be the biggest seller, fans hang about after and the whole matchday experience is enhanced.

Everyone's a winner Rodney

There will be enough empty seats as it is. Any attempt at a lap of honour will be met with an embarrassing silence. Best not entertain the idea if you ask me.
