Makes sense, but as someone said, blocking the steps to the seats would be a more sensible step.

A friend of mine once spoke to me during a minute's silence for ANZAC day at a (then) Broncos match. I can think of few occasions when I've been more mortified.

Why do we need to do anything differently? Every minute's silence I've seen at the JJB (and there are too many IMO, but that is a different argument) has been impeccably respected. Mind you, I do occupy the classier West Stand!

I'm also in the posh end but at the last minutes silence I can recall quite a number of people coming up the steps near our seats from the concourse. A number of them were chatting away and one women was laughing hysterically. Thankfully the stewards hushed them up.

I normally get to my seat late and if they think they're stopping me from sitting in my season ticket seat at any time i want they've got another thing coming. I will respect the minutes silence of course - like i always do.

A bit of polite advice,
Either get to your seat at 7:55 p.m or wait in the concourse until after the minutes silence.

Just for once get to your seat early or on time to show abit of respect for gods sake.

and what you going to do when they do try and stop you? kick up a fuss while the minute silence is going on. Get a grip and get to your seat earlier or stay downstairs and have your own minute silence.

Behave yourself. You wont win the argument either on here or at the stadium.
