The minute's silence today.

What was the shout from the East Stand?
It was - that shout excepted - impeccable and I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I was also able to explain it to the Boy and have him understand for the first time. Having the bugle and the servicemen on the pitch helped explain it too.

I think it was an outburst from one of the disabled fans. Nothing malicious

I thought it was excellent well done to the club for making the effort to get the British Legion involved

Granted, it was good and well observed. However, I would have liked to see the club offer unsold seats ( and there was always going to be plenty of them) to Sussex service personnel, current and retired.

Excellent, hope you all make to a memorial near you tomorrow.
I always go to Old Steine, really moving.

I thought the Idiot dressed up covered in Poppies was out of order, should never have been indulged by that f**kwit Reynolds, Rememberance Day is about solemn reflection not some fancy dress party
The club let themselves down with this

Most matches you get more than a minutes silence at the Amex

Could have gone to an Ex Services home like Queen Alexandra in Worthing (Gifford House to us oldies) and invited some of their residents.

Don't be pathetic, if you can't see someone dressed up in fancy dress as Poppyman is disrespectful then you better leave your so called retorts for other people, a lot of older people around me were angered by it
Agree with you Ernest, it was totally out of keeping of a dignified occasion. No point to it whatsoever

Came from one of the disabled fans.absolutely no bad intent.

A very moving moment. Made what happened on the pitch afterwards seem quite trivial - which it was!

As ex-service I didn't find it disrespectful at all. The Poppy Appeal is there to help present & ex service personnel, not just about remembrance.
The British Legion standards, Salvation Army buglers & minutes silence were impeccably observed.

Well done to all supporters today the silence was very respectful, as it should be.

Was great and wonderfully observed, one minor point to the club is that it might well be prudent to turn the concourse TVs down next time, was quite loud where we were.
