Polite applause only. Personally still have nightmares dreaming about that Swindon game - 2-0 up, Swindon down to 10 men, Bailey breaks away with players free to his left and right and only one defender in front of him. And it was that defender he passed to! That led to Swindon scoring.
And there's one or two memories going here as people forget that he had been infuriating in the last couple of months of that season, frequently throwing himself to the floor when he had been tackled as if he had been shot.
Wish the guy well and remember he was one of our better players during our spell in the wilderness but old boy legend he is certainly not.
No reason to boo but I wouldn't go as far as cheering. I would always prefer to give ex players either a good reception or no reception. A bad one always back fires. I for one will welcome him with a nice little clap.
1) I will not applause an opposition player in a competitive game as I don't want them to feel at home. 2) I will not boo because he doesn't deserve it, he gave 100% for us and only left because a bigger opportunity (at the time) was there for him.
Bit of a clap, why the he'll would anyone boo a player who put in two good years for us and was then sold at a profit when we wanted and needed the cash?!
