Lessingham Canary 108 Posted February 1, 2018 Call for supporters all attending on Saturday, by now most of you will be aware of the passing of Michelle, taken from this earth far too soon at the tender age of 52, a true superfan who managed over 900 consecutive matches. There is a call for a minutes applause on the 52nd minute to acknowledge and show our love for one of our own, so lets all get behind this and show her husband Ian and family that her Norwich City family have her in firmly in our thoughts. The club are putting her picture on the big screen approx 10 minutes before kick off, but it would be great to get the whole ground up on the 52 minute marker.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted February 1, 2018 I would be doubtful that the club could make any announcement during the game, also any tribute before the game would require the ref, the other team etc being involved.The minutes applause comes from Equity who have long used this as a tribute to members who have passed away, with the minutes applause being standing, as in the final curtain where a performance is marked by a standing ovation.Lets hope all at Carrow Road stand on Sat on 52mins, and the club announces before the game who is being remembered... a genuine supporter, taken far too soon.

Sussexyellow 55 Posted February 1, 2018 Not difficult to work out when we get to 52 minutes the screens behind the goals clearly display it.I sure if all who read this or the edp start the applause it will be followed. A tribute that we should endorse with some vigour.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted February 1, 2018 It will presumably be similar to with John Hurt - I believe that was in the 74th(?) minute and they did put a picture on the big screen. People will get to know about it and what''s going on, and will be able to pay their respects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,600 Posted February 3, 2018 I probably knew Michelle by sight on away trips. Over 900 consecutive games takes some doing. My condolences to the family.The clapping tribute sounded good on Radio Norfolk with a loud rendition of OTBC to follow.A lovely gesture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
