SHA Small Heath Alliance

The roll call last night for all of those Blues that we have lost over the past year was unbelievable, no idea how many were on the list but it took a long time to read out all of the names.

I was shocked at just how many had sadly passed. RIP KRO

There were a lot. Sadly.
Would’ve been more poignant if the persons name was read out as their name was on screen. The names scrolled far too quickly and were way down the alphabet on the second time they’d been listed.
Should really have been thought out better after practice runs. I have mentioned this to the club previous years.
It’s still a nice touch though

I thought that, I saw a couple of minutes then went for a piss and come back and it was still going.

My Dads name was on the list but I haven’t got to see it 😞

I’m not saying this for laughs, l realise it was a solemn and sad occasion for all affected.

If l misheard then l apologise but l’m sure l heard as he was going through the ‘B’ s that the name Ben Dover-Rooney was read out. I couldn’t see the screen for proof.

I hope it was my poor hearing and my parka hood and not some awful crass joke at the most inappropriate time

They usually put it up on the clubs social media mate. Sorry for your loss too

As above but I must admit to a little smirk when the bloke next to me said "no wonder the Olympic gallery is empty"

😂

Cheers mate I’ll look out for that, old man was up for a laugh but he wouldn’t have been laughing at the footie ffs

Hope so, would love to see my Grandads name remembered by the club, and weather meant I couldn't make it down as intended

Sorry for your loss too. I’ll link it on here if I see it on twitter

I believe there were about 500 submissions. That’s a lot of people.

Especially to read out in 15 mins

...hoping to see it up on twitter later, hopefully my Dad will appear on it. My Son was at the game but missed it 🤦‍♂️.

BCFC Supporter Services did say yesterday that it would appear on socials - [twitter.com] 😤
