Yes its a difficult one

I have no problem with the one tomorrow for such a young boy who clearly had a connection with some of our players but if you are on the facebook group (as I am sure many of us are to keep tabs on a saturday afternoon) there are more and more posts from people asking for a minutes applause for their lost loved one in the xth minute. There were two for the Ipswich game and I can;t recall either happening. Of course to the person who has lost their loved one they are the most important person in the world and so I don;t think its fair to "rank" or say some people are more deserving of a minutes applause than others and if people don;t join in its only going to hurt the feelings of the family who may be expecting it but you can;t do a minutes applause for every massive fan who passes away during the course of the season or end up doing 5 or 6 different minutes applause in every game so i'm not quite sure how you stem the tide of these requests.
