Leicester_Loyal Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Will the helicopter be dropping off the match ball as it has the past few seasons? EDIT: Oops at the spelling in the title
Bert Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 .... And when the last post is finished and the forest fans roar, our fans will start chanting scum for not observing the silence, all because they couldn't hear the PA announcement because its too quiet over there, when our fans are being just as bad by acting holier than thou, whilst not observing at the same time.
Jagdinho Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 We were the first club to introduce the remembrance fixture. Agree with Bert, we'll all label Forest fans scum because the PA announcement doesn't clearly state to remain in silence during and after the last post. Hope the helicopter tradition continues though!

So true.
Guesty Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Maybe the club will make it a bit more clearer this time as they don't want to look bad on SKY. I really don't know why they don't just take an extra minute or 2 to make clear to everyone exactly what will happen. Or even easier, have the 1 minute silence then play the last post after.
samstown92 Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 A minutes applause is a lot better at football matches!
Raj Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Its all so confusing for us mere football fans to understand....
I blame Wellens Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 A minutes applause is a lot better at football matches! The idea is to 'Remember' in silence (Jesus we are good at silence anyway) those great heroes of our great nation.
Guest MattP Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 A minutes applause is a lot better at football matches! It's the worst thing that ever happened, it was basically introduced as a few morons couldn't shut up while the rest of us stayed silent. Applauding through a remembrance minute/mark of respect is downright bizarre as far as I'm concerned.
Corky Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I just hope we avoid the crap that blighted the silence in the Derby match two years ago.
Storming Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I just hope we avoid the crap that blighted the silence in the Derby match two years ago. Yeah remember that well proper fook up or what . Surely 1 min is not hard to stand in silence for on sat they did it for 89
Matt Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 We have the screens now though so could put a message on those explaining the plans of the last post being played then going straight into a silence, aswell as announcing it over the PA system. Obviously not everyone will read the screens either so it's still a possibility of the Forest fans cheering after the last post, but putting a message on the screens aswell as announcing it over the PA is an idea of getting the point across. Maybe even print letters and place them on every seat - Although that will just cause paper airplanes being thrown I spose.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Showing respect for past heroes of our great nation should be a no brainer unfortunately there are always some no brainers in the crowd
The Year Of The Fox Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Its been ****ed up thr last two years. Would like to think forest would shoe how much more 'English' they are than us by doing the decent thing and shutting up
RedHux Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I don't think it's about respect. I think it'll be about not knowing 'the form'. I had no idea this was going on so I'll wager the majority of Forest fans won't either. Perhaps if your admin shower could contact our admin shower and get the shower who organise our respective OS's to put something up describing the running order of respectful gestures there'll be no need for half heard, crappy PA announcements.
Kitchandro Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I half-understood the confusion against Derby (I'd never been to a Rememberance fixture before and at school we didn't have the trumpet) but if people haven't learnt from that by now I just don't know what to say.
fleckneymike Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 It's not as if this whole remembrance thing has been going on for 90+ years or anything. Same morons will **** it up, same morons will blame everyone else but themselves, same apologists will excuse them

Stick a post up on LTLF if you're on there mate, would be nice to let some of your fans know.
kingfox Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 They should forget the helicopter. It's annoying, something a little different would be better.
samstown92 Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 They should forget the helicopter. It's annoying, something a little different would be better. The Queen Parachuting out of the helicopter with the match ball
kingfox Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 The Queen Parachuting out of the helicopter with the match ball Boris Johnson coming out carrying it would be better.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 I think someone (preferrably dressed as a mole) should tunnel under the pitch and pop up out of the soil after the Post Horn and hand the ball over
jonthefox Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 In true rememberance both teams should fire cannons at each other. Then at half time play football and exchange gifts.
