Accepted that it wasn't deliberately disrespectful but come on, how can you have a period of silence during a piece of music!!! I've been going to football for 40 years and there has always been a minutes silence as far back as I can remember. I thought the instructions were pretty clear but...
Agree. Think the club have done a good job with the wreaths and inviting veterans representing both teams etc but might need a little tweak for next year.
To be honest, you don't really need to know what the music is. The announcement was that there would be a piece of music followed by a period of silence (traditionally a minute) then a further piece of music. I'm not criticizing people because they didn't know The Last Post and Reveille...
Thanks for the dig. Once the applause stopped it was immaculately observed but was not for the traditional minute.
I agree with others that it wasn't done to be deliberately disrepectful.
What happened? Thought there was going to be a minute's silence after the sounding of the last post but some numpties decided to applause and a load more copied them. Personally, think it was a poor show.
