shull Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 It didn't go as planned on Saturday, maybe due to a mix up between the Club and Match Officials. I think the Club should try and do it again on the first Home Match of the new Season. A lot of friends and relatives missed it on Saturday and were left very disappointed.

st jock Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I agree Shull. At the end of last season my dad's name came up and I was proud as punch that I got to see his name up on the scoreboard. Meant a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The names did still come up on Saturday though , just not during a minutes applause , but after the match had started ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, due to the distraction of the Match, quite a few missed seeing the List or just caught some of it as it came to an end. There was a Video on Facebook of the List, however the girl taking the footages admitted the quality of the film was not perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I sadly noticed one name of a great buddie who I didn't know had passed away recently. Jackson Adams from Ralston, who was in his 80's and was a friend of my late Dad and they spent lots of time together at Love Street. I also had him many times in my Cab, where we spent all journeys talking about St Mirren. RIP SIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure, if requested, the Club will do it again in July or August. Maybe, could be done at half time at a match, with plenty of prior notice.

HSS Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I've just had a message from Campbell,DJ,who has no idea why it didn't go as planned.His only thought was that the game was already late in kicking off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 The ref clearly had no idea to hold a minutes applause. Had he been told? He didn't seem to remember where his yellow cards were kept, so possibly this slipped his mind as well. I think holding it before the first game of next season is a good idea, its a nice tradition. For most of us, St Mirren is about friends & family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad, David Wilson, and uncle John Temple used to go to games together many moons ago. I was at Jackson funeral a month ago and sadly at my uncles funeral in February. I was at jacksons house before Christmas when he passed on loads St Mirren mugs, glasses and tankards from back in the day. i think it's a great thing that club do to remember those that have recently passed away. Hopefully the club will release images or even a list of the names on the board as people have said many people sadly missed it due to game being underway.

djchapsticks Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Seemed the referee had no idea it was to go ahead. The minute's applause happened sort of spontaneously following that which was still a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame that people missed it, myself included, as the standing ovation is a great way to send these fans off. Hopefully the club repeat It at the start of the new season!

eckthesaint Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Shame it didn't come off as planned. Had asked for my brothers name to be on the board but as I was working I couldn't attend. Hopefully the names will be re run at start of season and I can be there this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TediousTom Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 It was a balls up, nothing else really to be said. The minutes applause is a great gesture by the club and I readily confess to having a tear in my eye every year when it is read out. Sooner or later all our names will appear on that list. Anyway on that cheery note I agree with the suggestion above, this should be done PROPERLY at the first home game of the new season when each name can be applauded and READ out in turn. Sadly that list may well be bigger by then. RIP Buddies, every single one of you, every single one indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
