I went to watch Birmingham v Leeds yesterday and during H/T they had a supporters’ memorial “roll of honour” where the match day announcer read out the names of every Bham fan that has died during the year. I have no idea how widespread this practice is and if they have done it before, but it was very well received. In the post Bradley Lowery world and as Football turns increasingly into a memorial service interupted occasionally by the actual game, I would be interested to hear everyone’s thoughts on this as a mechanism for “showing respect” as opposed to minutes applaudes arranged throughout the season in which 99% of the people won’t know who they are clapping? Despite the tone of my post and being uncomfortable in the direction in which fandom is heading, as mentioned it was very well received and it might be nice for the family/friends of the deseaced who might also be City fans?
