The speech and the last post at the end was very poignant but why did some people start clapping at the start of the silence? |  |

Because they weren't listening. |  |

Very well executed but “dove”? [Post edited 9 Nov 2019 20:14]

The clapping stopped very quickly and I found the reading of the names and the last post deeply affecting. That and the wonderful Dave Thomas at half-time were unquestionably the highlights of the day for me. [Post edited 10 Nov 2019 8:29]

Because the length of the prelude to the minute's silence, as well done as it was, meant that people had forgotten what to do by the time it actually came around? [Post edited 10 Nov 2019 1:06]

Although mainly used by Americans, dove is in the English dictionary as a perfectly acceptable alternative to dived. It does sound strange though, but, wouldn'twould you reasonably expect an officer in HM armed forces not to have had his speech vetted | | | |

Is it not used now then? As a kid I went swimming 2/3 days a week in the summer and me and my mates often ‘dove’ off boards, rocks, river banks. Who knew I was in training to move over here! And no, that does not mean I swam the Rio Grande. [Post edited 10 Nov 2019 15:26]

I thought it was excellent everyone observed it even the latecomers from the pub
What made it even more poignant was the rain hitting the stands as it was so quiet
Well done the club and everyone else |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

They were stopping latecomers from coming up the steps into the stands once it started so that helped. |  | | |

I found it moving. Was counting the names and it really struck a chord when if got to 11. Ended up 21+ so basically 2 teams. The wars our previous generations had to go through were brutal. |  |
