In Memoriam

[ClaretTony]

There will be a one minute's silence observed tonight ahead of the game to remember those Clarets who passed away last year. I'm sure we will all know some names on the list.

[longsidepies]

Thanks Tony, my brother is on the list

[Quickenthetempo]

Such a long list, sad times.

I think someone is trying to be funny with the person called Mike on the list Tony, not really appropriate for gags.

[Bosscat]

Cheers Tony I see they got my Brother on there too

[andysisson]

Lovely thing is this’ my Mum and Brother were omn the 2017 one but I don’t know if you have any input on this CT but it looks, like someone has been a bit silly, one of the names on there is Mike Litoris aged 69 , thats gotta be a wind up.

[wilks_bfc]

Such a long list, sad times.

I think someone is trying to be funny with the person called Mike on the list Tony, not really appropriate for gags.

Not really appropriate is it.
Surely they have the name of the person that put that forward

[ClaretTony]

Such a long list, sad times.

I think someone is trying to be funny with the person called Mike on the list Tony, not really appropriate for gags.

Thanks, and I've removed it from the list. That's what I received from the club. You would have thought they would have checked.

[Silkyskills1]

RIP to all the above.

[Bosscat]

Thanks, and I've removed it from the list. That's what I received from the club. You would have thought they would have checked.

Cannot see that being a Claret fan putting that on there ...

[ClaretTony]

Such a long list, sad times.

I think someone is trying to be funny with the person called Mike on the list Tony, not really appropriate for gags.

It was initially going to be the Leicester game and sadly that name was listed in the programme so I would think it will be in tonight too. Some people just don't know how to show respect.

[NottsClaret]

Alan was a popular name around 70 years ago. Doubt you get many Alans in nursery now. Gone the way of Nigel.

[Milltown1882]

Never thought I’d see the day that I’d have four relatives on that screen. Thank you to the club for arranging this again.

[longsidetrumpet]

Thanks for your efforts Tony. My sister is on the list. Not sure if this is the same copy that is going on the screen but there's a mistake here: Jack James Stonbs, 0

[ClaretTony]

Thanks for your efforts Tony. My sister is on the list. Not sure if this is the same copy that is going on the screen but there's a mistake here: Jack James Stonbs, 0

That's exactly what they printed in the Leicester programme

[tally]

ALL the people on this list R.I.P.
So many gone but not forgotten

[Silkyskills1]

Alan was a popular name around 70 years ago. Doubt you get many Alans in nursery now. Gone the way of Nigel.

Noticed that, Notts. Think the name Ian has gone the same way. Just on the point of names on there that are not legitimate it's a sad state of affairs when someone can find humour of such a crass nature. Absolutely disgusting. Not funny.

[Belgianclaret]

RIP to all

[Leisure]

Thanks for your efforts Tony. My sister is on the list. Not sure if this is the same copy that is going on the screen but there's a mistake here: Jack James Stonbs, 0

Maybe the poor lad was less than 1 year old??

[TheFamilyCat]

Is there any reason this wasn't done on Saturday, it being the first home league game of the year?

[ClaretTony]

Is there any reason this wasn't done on Saturday, it being the first home league game of the year?

It was scheduled to be the Leicester game (which was postponed). I think when Man U was chosen the Watford game hadn’t been rescheduled.

[TheFamilyCat]

Ah, right. Makes sense.

[Sean Dyche's Watch]

Maybe the poor lad was less than 1 year old??

I suspect it's about the mis-typing of the surname, rather than the age?

[lesxdp]

RIP to all on the list. So sad to see the young age of so many on there. Reminds me how important it is to enjoy every day we are here.

[Bordeauxclaret]

RIP to all on the list. So sad to see the young age of so many on there. Reminds me how important it is to enjoy every day we are here.

I was just thinking the same looking through the list.

[ClaretAL]

Thank-you so much Tony for pushing this through. Shame it's not going in the program (I presume) but very much appreciated.

[tiger76]

RIP to all on the list. So sad to see the young age of so many on there. Reminds me how important it is to enjoy every day we are here.

Indeed! all deaths are naturally sad for the family and friends of the deceased, but it really hits home when you see the youthful ages of many on that list.

[ClaretAL]

Just got the program and its in.

[Andreshotboots]

There will be a one minute's silence observed tonight ahead of the game to remember those Clarets who passed away last year. I'm sure we will all know some names on the list.

Tony I emailed the club about this with not even a response, I think it would be nice for our players out of respect when we do this,to turn and face the screens with the names on, rather than have their backs to then.

Just don't think it looks right with their backs against our deceased fans..

[Steve1956]

God bless each and everyone of them.

[Tribesmen]

Boy some list of names and all Clarets to the end .

[KateR]

I'm shocked at the number of names on that list, far more than I would have dreamed of RIP

[Longsider]

I'm in my 50s and don't really contemplate death or my own mortality. Looking at that list and seeing so many younger people than me is a reality check. So sad to see young children in the list too.

[lesxdp]

I'm in my 50s and don't really contemplate death or my own mortality. Looking at that list and seeing so many younger people than me is a reality check. So sad to see young children in the list too.

I am now nearly in my 73rd year and thankfully feel quite healthy but who knows. So sad to see the numbers that never even got to my age.

[timshorts]

You can add man United's champions league prospects to the list now after the second half performance today. Even Paul merson saying that we deserved the point.

Hope all those remembered were able to enjoy it in the afterlife. If they can somehow help us get something from the Scousers, even better.

[steve1264b]

My dad died before a christmas.

Utd were the first home game coincidentally.

Took mum on, it meant a lot to her.

Thank you Tony, this one of the best things the has ever done.

[Loyalclaret]

I suspect it's about the mis-typing of the surname, rather than the age?

Correct it's a typo with the name, the n should be a "b".

Know quite a few on the list - RIP

[The Hung Juror]

A fitting tribute to all those lost Clarets, including my longest known and best pal. I was also shocked to see how many there were, compared with previous years, bless them all. RIP

The list does not seem to be on the club website yet.

[bfcjg]

I'm shocked at the number of names on that list, far more than I would have dreamed of RIP

I think it is because it's popularity has become more widely known about. Very poignant.

[beeholeclaret]

Shocked to see such a long lost of fellow Clarets who had some affinity with the town and team. Brings a tear to the eye to think that all these people have now gone. Lovely that their names are recognised in this tribute and at the club. Well done.

[ClaretCliff]

Sad to see Jack Austin in there - opened the batting for Haslingden for many years and father of Ian Austin.

[Terrier]

Thought united fans mainly were very respectful, fair play to them!

[wilks_bfc]

Thought united fans mainly were very respectful, fair play to them!

Agree

Even the the few noisy ones in the away end (whether intentional or unknowingly) were soon told to be quiet by their own

[jedi_master]

Whoever has done that for the club as a ‘joke’ needs removing from whatever position he/she is in. Disgusting, and I am not one in general for outrage culture - but out everything I would expect the utmost respect to be given to, for them to allow ‘Mike Litoris 69’ on the screen along with all of those fans that have passed is an absolute disgrace.

It’s the family of the names either side of it I feel for

[dushanbe]

Tough last couple of years, my mum was on last years and my dad above. RIP to all.

[jdrobbo]

Thoughts with you, Andy!

Best wishes to you and family

[Luppy]

I assume Alan Woan is Ian’s father? An unusual name

One or two names on that list I recognise that I hadn’t realised had passed - very sad indeed

[corporal jones]

They probably didnt reply as they had their head in their hands in depair. Give the club a break. The players stood around the centre circle in time honoured fashion but some still find fault.

I can’t imagine it’s originated from someone in the club.
Someone in the club not noticing the name on the request maybe.

Disgruntled former employer perhaps?
