Wasn’t 2 it was 4.

One directly after Chelsea scored... Sorry, but I don't want to be remembered like that thanks

Yes 4. And then followed by a sort of medley combining all four. So 5 in effect.

Apologies, I left early must have missed the last two.

I’m sorry for being honest but that was ridiculous today.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:09 pm**

Would be ok if I could see the screen to know who the clapping was for.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:09 pm**

Should be one game a year ( as the Jan 19th game )where names could be read out etc and a mins silence as otherwise it’s becoming nonsensical

Correct , and much as I respect the passing of a fellow claret games like today do make things almost farcical ,there was even one after Chelsea scored

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:21 pm**

Talking in Miners before game and someone said why not have a montage of fans who have died recently and want to be remembered on the Turf prior to kick off and families can clap others can clap if they want to then just get on with the game. The main one being in January for all Clarets who've passed away with more off a celebration.

More clapping for the dead than the team. Bloody embarrassing

Really? I thought hardly anyone joined in with them tbh. Think people have just had enough really, 3 in one game is ridiculous.

And 4 in the space of 15mins in one game is even more ridiculous

Didn't realise there was 4 today. Sat at the back of the Bob Lord so couldn't see the screen.

Me too gandhisflipflop.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:45 pm**

A guy in front of me did all his clapping for the dead and not the team. BFC are missing a trick here they need to charge a grand a game that will sort the job out

So not really a problem for you.

Apologies to all those who were obviously deeply traumatised by the clapping!

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:57 pm**

It’s getting ridiculous and meaningless and it shouldn’t be. It’s not fair to the people or their families. Other clubs don’t do this. Put a note in the programme and keep the one a year day we have to remember all the people on the last year that have passed away.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:58 pm**

Utterly ridiculous and embarrassing.

By the time the fourth picture came up (which I believe was hampstead claret) people had had enough.

What if it had coincided with the VAR check? It would've made it even more daft!

Just get rid!

No one will be traumatised or even upset. There are just many people saying it's totally over the top. Today in particular.

Because it was embarrassing.

We're over 120 replies, the vast majority being against these events, very rarely are so many posters in agreement so perhaps its time the club stopped allowing these pictures etc on the screen, we've all seen today that it doesn't work.

They should, but whilst they profit from it financially, it'll probably continue.

Plenty clapped in the CF end for them all. Their service of been longstanding clarets was far more worthy of a clap than what was on the pitch.

But the club don't, the money goes to BFC in the Community.

Because it showed the club to be amateurish, mawkish and badly organised.

Not sure why it needs explaining really.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:16 pm**

Unfortunately it's the sign of the times. When someone dies on the roads they have to make a shrine on the spot the accident occurred. If you want a shrine bury your dead and visit the grave don't pass your grief on to every other Tom, Dick and Harry

So who exactly thought that the club was amateurish, mawkish and badly organised?

Nothing connected with the club should be making profit from someones' death.

You can use the argument that it's what they would've wanted, but still

Probably embarrassed on behalf of the families

By the time the 4th came up everyone around us had had enough

At a guess, everyone who thought it was unnecessary.

Why would you be embarrassed on behalf of the families? How do you know that they were?

I’d stop all the fan announcements on the screen - so what if it’s Albert’s ******* 60th birthday.

It’s properly tinpot, even more so when we are in the money league, charging fans for the privilege of showing them on the screen, invariably from some drunken holiday in Benidorm.

Use the screen for football purposes and at a push commercials for the proper revenue.

Doesn't matter what you or I think but if the families think it was that's great.

There are clearly many people who think it has gone too far. When such a proportion of people think this it must be a valid point viewpoint.

Posted: **Sat Oct 26, 2019 9:29 pm**

Dont know how anyone could think that was great

When has there been a picture on the screen of someone on a drunken holiday in Benidorm?

Many people - how many is that? Such a proportion of people - please quantify?

I'd be surprised if they did, when people had stopped clapping due to 'applause fatigue'.
