R.I.P and many condolences to his family and friends. puts the ticket price and name change squabbles in perspective If I should go before the rest of you Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone, Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice But be the usual selves that I have known. Weep if you must, Parting is hell, But life goes on, So sing as well. please log in to view this image pic host
It looks like last nights banner has come to the attention of the Lokeren fans... Elly Saey Van Peteghem - thank you very much Hull City fan friends! You reached the Belgian newswebsites. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me (and the other Lokerenfans) Dennis Vercauteren - we want a friendly game against Hull City ! Like: Wij willen op de fandag een match tegen Hull City The photo of the banner was retweeted by the official Lokeren account and has now been retweeted 748 times.
Did anyone get a picture of the banner at the bottom of the south east corner? Couldn't read it from where I was sat.
Just had a glance at the Lokeren fans comments on Twitter when they saw the banner last night, here's a typical handful...

Thanks for the support, @KSCLokeren fans are grateful It's a pity we can't get more things like this right.
There is a lot of praise on the twitter feeds from Arsenal fans about the tribute to David Rocastle as well, credit to whoever did it.
Yes. It was originally planned as a Get Well Soon message, but unfortunately it had to be switched last minute when the sad news came through.
The club paid for 4 of them (one for each stand) had an image of both club badges and said something like RIP Gregor Martens Always remembered (don't quote me on the wording though)
