Gestures for the the Queen before West Ham game

[chicoazul]

Just wanted to gauge fan sentiment ahead of the planned gestures this Sunday.

From the Premier League website.

Players and match officials will wear black armbands as a mark of respect and, together with managers, will gather at the centre circle before kick-off.

Fans will be asked to join a minute’s silence, which will be followed by the National Anthem, God Save The King.

Big screens and LED perimeter boards will display tribute images to Her Majesty and flags at the grounds will be flying at half-mast.

When the clock turns to 70 minutes, fans will be invited to applaud The Queen’s 70-year reign.

Boo the national anthem.

Stay silent during the minute silence.

That's me.

Appreciate the poll but surely we can come up with more extreme options than that

Minute's silence - fine.

National Anthem - not appropriate. Also think it may cause tension.

70th minute - meh. If you really want to.

It is in the Everton forum so I am very respectful of site rules and wish to encourage reasonable dialogue on such a divisive topic.

See below mate. Just to gauge sentiment as it seems to be lots of empty vessels on here but Sunday will go pretty smoothly. Will do you a preview if you don’t close the thread.

True, I think the daily Mail hysteria has gotten a hold of me

In other words - another pointless thread - all I am bothered about is three points after the game......

As others have said, respect the minutes silence completely. No need for the National Anthem though, which I think will be booed. Clapping on 70 is a joke.

I am not a royalist but I respect the right for those who wish to commemorate the queen's passing in any way they see fit. Death is the enemy of all of us and for the genuine out pouring of grief I must say I have been moved, so I will stand in silence to support those who grieve, if not for those whom they grieve for.

You’ve voted in the thread and made this comment so you’re most definitely not bothered Joseph. @GrandOldTeam he’s trying to derail another thread.

Come on Everton, do them lads.

Its difficult not to vote in the thread to see the result Chico .... The game is more important imo
