stripeyfox Posted 1 November 2018 Posted 1 November 2018 I know tradition dictates that we don't have a next match thread until the previous game is completed, but with there being so much to discuss I thought it worth starting one now. There are various discussions about the 5000-1 Walk to the Stadium, pre match minute's silence, Scarves up, arms around each other, applause etc, as well as whatever the club may be planning around Remembrance Day etc, I thought it would be good to get it all down here so we can be organised as we possibly can. This is potentially going to be the most emotional day in our history. I also think the "mobile phone lights on" tribute would look brilliant, maybe in 60th minute? 1
Popular Post Fox92 Posted 1 November 2018 Popular Post Posted 1 November 2018 No need to do anything during the game. Like I just said on the other thread, do a minute silence etc before the game, get it over with and get out there and win. The best tribute would be to get behind the lads all game. 17 1

It's going to be emotional. I will probably take part in the walk to the ground before the game. Obviously being the remembrance day game there will be usual minutes silence for that. Hopefully WYS can get resurrected at some point. Going to be 100% behind the team from the off and throughout the entire game come what may. The whole team (and the manager!!) has a free pass off me for quite some time. 1
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 1 November 2018 Popular Post Posted 1 November 2018 I think we need to let the club lead on this one. They will have their plans. 21
Popular Post HybridFox Posted 1 November 2018 Popular Post Posted 1 November 2018 I suppose it will depend on their individual commitments but wouldn't it be great to have Claudio, Big Nige, Sven and Shakey all at the game. It'll be a unique and emotional occassion so to have all managers to have been under Vichai there for that would be incredible. 9

I’m assuming that there will be a dedicated memorial service at the ground at some point, at which supporters and current/former players and staff can pay respects together.

Md9 Posted 1 November 2018 Posted 1 November 2018 Do you think they will somehow find a way to get this on tv even if it is a 3 o clock Saturday game?

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 1 November 2018 Posted 1 November 2018 I haven’t got a ticket as was working but I’ve managed to get the day off just so i can go down and join the 5000 walking to the game Up The City will be walking with my 5 year old daughter god willing Up the Foxes 4

From talking to people inside the club today after the press conference, the feeling is they'll be going balls out to make this a very, very special occasion. No specific details were mentioned but they know what they're doing when it comes to tributes. It would be great to see some ex players and managers involved. I suspect everyone wants to be there. Just imagine if Bocelli came out and sang Time To Say Goodbye, christ I couldn't cope with that!! 7

Perhaps you might get a couple 1

Jack1993 Posted 2 November 2018 Posted 2 November 2018 I agree that all official gestures should be organised by the club but I also think some kind of noise or a song as a token of our appreciation on 60 minutes would be a great personal touch. I realise this has happened before but on this occasion the whole ground would be involved and it would be special. My suggestion would be repeating the first line from the chorus of Dido - Thank you "IIIIII want to thank you for giving me the best dayyyy of my life" That's the only way I can think of actually saying thank you as a crowd, something most of us never had the chance to do.

Vichai and family are highly driven winners, they didn't become multi-billionaires and bring us the league via any other way. Best way to honour them is 3 points. That's all. 1
nigelbee Posted 2 November 2018 Posted 2 November 2018 Could we see the ex managers who worked under Vichai sitting together alongside Top at this game?. An unthinkable concept before this terrible tragedy however most have them have been to the stadium to pay their respects this week and it would be a fitting way to support Top and honour his dad if they were invited.
Livid Posted 2 November 2018 Posted 2 November 2018 (edited) Quite like the lyrics to Days by The Kinks, Kirsty Maccoll amongst others. Thank you for the days Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me I'm thinking of the days I won't forget a single day believe me I bless the light I bless the light that lights on you believe me And though you're gone You're with me every single day believe me Days I'll remember all my life Days when you can't see wrong from right You took my life But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me But it's alright Now I'm not frightened of this world believe me Third verse might need a tweak.

Spacey_Fox Posted 2 November 2018 Posted 2 November 2018 Is there anything we could wear on lapels (like a flower, although I'm aware of the clash with the Remembrance Day fixture), some symbol or different flower which has some symbolism? Just a random thought really.

Just a random thought really. I think in Buddhist culture white is worn when grieving as hope that the deceased will be reborn into the next life so I'm tempted to go for a white poppy and tick off both boxes
