Fans Remembrance game

Have the club made an announcement yey with regards to this seasons Fans Remembrance game?

Traditional it is hedld on the first league game of the New Year which would be Bristol City.

Ive not seen anything requesting the names of the people to be remembered and with the programmes being posted the club could be cuttingbit very fine.

I know that we wont be there to clap and to show our respects but the club staff, players and directors could still pay our respects.

It would be good too if the club where to use pitch side.boards to display the names of those who have passed whilst the applause is taken place and to request photo's for the big screen.

Hoping ive just missed the announcement as.this is a great and much appreciated tradition that is now being copied by other clubs (Stoke made their appeal about threevweeks ago)

We certainly asked about it, but can't remember if it was announced. I will check.

Surely we can do this when fans are back in, probably start of next season. Pointless now.

The whole point is to remember those that died in 2020... If we do it next season it would be for those who died in the 20/21 season and would ignore those who died between January and July of this year.

We dont have to be there for the Club to pay our respects

I thought this a magnificent gesture. I have bought and sent programs of the event to my brothers wife in Thailand and other family members. I did not know the would show photographs on screen at the game otherwise I would have sent one in.

We did ask if that was possible but the club do not have editorial control on the ifollow production.

I didn’t realise Billy Sweetzer had passed away either.

Never made a first team appearance but did play for the reserves during seasons; 1974/75, 1975/76, 1976/77 &1977/78.

Is the club making the names public on their website?

Thanks

Looks a pretty short list given the year we've had. Perhaps what with no-one attending games people there's fewer names put forward.

A few ex-Bees & staff were left off the list.

Alex Dawson, Paul Shrubb, John Griffin and Joyce Neate weren't noted/remembered in the programme, sadly.
