My first real memory of a nations outpouring if grief was winston Churchill's funeral. I was 8 at the time and distinctly remember getting very upset as everyone was around our house in Wakefield listening to the radio. First time I ever saw my grandfather cry...really affected me.
I didn't think he asked the club...I thought he used twitter to ask fans?
And I take it no one else remembers the little telly for player of the season.
It's nothing to do with the club. It was a request by an albion fan following the death of his uncle, a fellow albion fan. Are you suggestion the club ban these things? Surely it is up to the fans themselves.
Personally I think it is not a bad idea to have an end of season memorial type thing...
