good idea this from the club.

Our first home fixture of 2018 will offer the opportunity for everybody to pause and remember all those members of the Hull City family that have sadly passed away over the last 12 months.

The game against Reading on Saturday 13th January will be preceded by a minute’s applause, during which tributes will appear on the KCOM Stadium’s big screens to those that we lost in the last year, including supporters and former players.

Those tributes will also appear on a special page in the Matchday Programme accompanying the fixture.

If you would like a loved one to be included in this special tribute, please send their name and your message (and a picture if you wish) to [email protected] by no later than 5pm on Wednesday 10th January.

On behalf of everybody associated with the Club, we pass on our sincere condolences for your loss.

Other than a personal preference for a minutes silence, I’ve read that statement a couple of times and can find literally nothing to criticise the club over.

That’s a weird feeling!

No criticism of this gesture, but the minutes applause has never sat right with me.

Shame that's become the default choice rather than a period of silence.

I'm not in the business of agreeing with either of you two but yes a minutes silence is respect. Clapping is annoying.

I prefer the minutes applause as it drowns out the idiots who won’t shut up & show respect for the minutes silence!

Sad day when that happens!:emoticon-0121-angry

I’ve noticed people in past seasons haven’t observed the Remembrance Day silence properly either. Isn’t the silence supposed to end after the refs whistle?

what's supposed to happen is the crowd are to be silent to the last post - when its finished the ref blows his whistle to signal the start of the minutes silence then blows it again to signal the end of the minute- some people start cheering after the first whistle because its not fully understood what the protocol is and they think the last post was the minutes silence

Millenials. Thick as mince. You didn't see this **** 20 years ago.
 
it should always be a silence, it shows the utmost respect, that a generally lively football stadium full of thousands of people is in silence for a minute

why change traditions?
it's such a shame because there is no respect in modern society
disgusting.
how could people not even properly respect the ww2 remembrance?
 
I doubt this is a Hull City only idea, I have seen a few clubs prior to this doing the same, City are just following suit.

Nevertheless good to see they are doing something right for once, though I agree with others it S/B a minutes silence.

Sort of, but then he used it as a platform to gather everyone round and gleefully announce that the sale of the club wasn't going through.
