John and Carolyn 1- FA 0.Big yella wrote:Spartacus and I were sat sat next to John and Carolyn for the remembrance game and they said they tried everything not to play the game on Sunday. Even floating the idea of not playing at all (the financial implications were too great).
John was especially upset, for as an ex soldier himself, if the game had been on the Saturday he would have been able to lay a wreath for the first time. Business commitments have prevented him from doing so in previous years, and now the FA have.
The FA have said we can play the last post and have a minutes silence but we cannot lay wreaths. Again they were both upset.
Every seat at The Mill on Sunday will have a poppy on it.
We're so lucky to have them in charge.
As I've said before, Lest We Forget, looks like the FA have.

Thanks for that update. That’s great to know.
Nice touch with the poppies on seats. Why no wreaths allowed though ? How odd.
PS I didn’t know JR had served.

Presumably it is the difference between a football league game and an FA Cup game. Both games are on TV so that won't be the difference.

It is the fact that ours will be shown in foreign countries.

Probably because he doesn't carp on about it every week
