edited April 2014 in General Charlton
I know everyone done their tributes at the weekend with the 7 minute late starts/minute silence etc. But, as we are the only game happening on the actual anniversary of hillsborough, 25 years to the day, are we doing anything else? Should we do something?

    I don't see why it needs to go beyond the weekend.
  • RossRoss

    They were saying on R5L at the weekend that all games leading upto the anniversary would have a minutes silence.

    I don't think it's overkill to have a minute's silence at a football match on the 25th anniversary of England's worst ever football-related disaster. Actually I struggle to see why anyone would have a problem with it. It certainly doesn't do anyone any harm.

    It was done at the weekend by every club who took part at the games.


    Also Hillsborough gets far more attention than every other disaster is getting on my tits.

    Seriously?

    It's within your rights not to obverse the minutes silence if you feel that bad about it. Good luck with that.

    Well personally I would like to pay my respects to 96 innocent people who lost their lives through doing nothing more than going to watch a game of football.

    And I make absolutely no apology whatsoever if that gets on your tits.

    Our fans were incapable of observing a silence for Rememberance Day if I remember rightly earlier in the season so doubtless it will turn into applause tonight too.

    Very odd comment

    I will observe the silence and would like to know where i said i wouldn't.

    But I won't t pretend i care about it more than any other disaster because of it being at a football ground like so many do.

    Bradford Fire gets almost no attention
  • robroyrobroy
    Today is the anniversary itself so it makes sense. If we did not do it then eyebrows would be raised, we also could not say to Brighton..."We are not doing it Saturday as we can do it Tuesday"

    To be strictly accurate it was Leeds fans swiftly followed by our own.

    Genuinely saddened by some of the responses here - I thought we were better.
  • cafctomcafctom
    Can understand why Liverpool would want to commemorate it each year. Not sure why the rest of the Footballing world still has to come to a standstill and then be targeted if they don't.

    Have to say though that the applause crap does wind me up.
  • golfaddickgolfaddick
    Just hope that a few idiots wont spoil it for the others. I don't agree with applause instead of silence , but sometimes it can be justified if you are celebrating a special person's achievements but in this case we will remembering 96 who tragically died so silence is the only way to show respect.

    Agree.
    There have been some shallow comments made on here over the years but this thread takes the biscuit.
    Sick people.

    39. It is still a very sore subject in Italy while it's largely been brushed under the carpet here. Liverpool didn't make a proper apologetic gesture until 2005. Many Juventus fans, quite rightly, turned their backs on it.
