ncfc fan 0 Posted March 26, 2015 When we need one at Norwich, which do you prefer and why?I prefer silence because a loud excitable stadium hushed to silence with 27000 in the ground is an amazing experience and having a silence is more respectful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,683 Posted March 26, 2015 I prefer the silence, it just seems to mean ''more'' somehow, though the current thing is for the applause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray 111 Posted March 26, 2015 Assuming the family can be contacted, then what ever their preference is seems most appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,425 Posted March 26, 2015 You''re obsessed with minutes tributes.Presumably so you can get a sneaky pie in or a fag on Remembrance Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Bird 0 Posted March 26, 2015 Assuming the family are happy, I''d go for applause. Stops any chance of that one joker who thinks its funny to make some noise. Applause, to me, shows appreciation which is appropriate I feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Walkers Hat 0 Posted March 26, 2015 Depends on the circumstances.Tragedy, untimely death or event that warrants quiet contemplation = silence.Death in old age of a former player where their contribution to our history should be celebrated = applause.

Wot Jimmy Rimmer Got 0 Posted March 26, 2015 I''ve thought that a silence allowed for a time of quiet reflection on what that person meant to you and memories you have of them. It also shows respect. I think it''s rather humbling when thousands of people stand together and you could hear a pin drop.Clapping seems rather disrespectful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted March 27, 2015 I prefer silence but some idiots often spoil that so maybe applause is the better option nowadays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 27, 2015 I inadvertently broke wind during the minute''s silence for Diana, Princess of Wales and Queen of Hearts. Luckily it was a "silent but deadly", but I like to think I caused the tears in the eyes of the people around me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted March 28, 2015 You can''t please all of the people. Or can you?How aboit half a minute of silence and half a minute of applause? If you feel applause is disrespectful (don''t know how clapping for someone could be, but some here say so), feel free to not applaud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would seem to suit all parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfc fan 0 Posted March 30, 2015 Silence - as long as fans get to their seats early enough there should not be a problem. Food and drink purchased in the concourse can be taken to your seat, therefore no excuses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
