That aside great tribute by the club. RIP soldiers x

Should HAVE!
Good call. Hopefully the club will have learnt from today.
Probably, yes, but it's being a bit picky.
Very classy from the club today and I understand the family are incredibly appreciative of the day they've had today.

It did seem a wee bit off, to leave the perimeter advertising running. But seems to me the club did their utmost to honour the occasion in a moving and dignified way and they're only human, they can't always get every last detail just right. Total respect to them for what they did today. Their heart's in the right place. I'm sure it meant a very great deal to the soldier's family. And its a massive improvement on Withdean where ludicrously somebody once thought it a good idea to have Gully join a heads-bowed solemn minute's silence with the players in the centre circle. I swear my shoulders almost shook clean off with sixty seconds of deep and barely-suppressed mirth at the sight of a bloke dressed in a seagull costume trying his damnedest to look solemn and failing hilariously.

I'm with the OP on this. I noted it too. They should have been switched off, or better still, been set to display images of poppy fields or a static ad for the RBL.

I remember thinking at the time that it seemed slightly inappropriate that it was flashing away, but that said, it was "only" adverts for the triple ticket bundle, so it's not a massive issue.
I certainly wouldn't hold it against the club: it's quite obvious they were doing everything they possibly could to honour James Brynin's memory (and that of all others who have perished in conflict) and I thought that, broadly speaking, they played it perfectly today.

To be honest I didn't even notice.
Thought the tribute was well organised by the club, very moving IMO

Poppys or a RBL advert would have been a nice touch, agree.

Being an old git sitting in the WSU I find that I have trouble picking out the ball against the new electronic ad boards when it goes along the East Stand touchline

Didn't notice it during the silence which, as nearly everyone has already stated, was moving and well thought through by the Club. However the advertising did get on my nerves a bit during the game, particularly when it changed direction. Is it just me?

What advertising? I was totally involved in the ceremony and sadness of the moment. Shame the Beeb couldn't show it on the FL show. Nice to see our manager got it right with a hug for the family and a peck on each cheek.
