Nice touch which I'm sure will be honoured.....

That's a great gesture.
Would be good if the club announced this and also put in the programme for those not on the zone.

Any chance this can be made a sticky for the time being? Just to raise some awareness!

Raises more awareness by being a thread in the forum rather than being stuck. More people read the threads.

Sounds good to me

A chance to put a side all football rivalries and remember the 3 Walsall fans and the other 35 killed in this evil act

Ayrshire, have you considered running this up on the Walsall fans forum?

 

[Mark Stevart]

I agree with this gesture :thumbsup:

I hadn't no, good shout, I will do.

I have contacted a few Walsall fans on Twitter however to try and get word around

What great people football supporters are when the chips are down. This is an excellent gesture. R.I.P all those poor souls.

Personally, this is one of those occasions where I think it would be better before the match. Sometimes these ones during the match get a bit lost.

I have commented elsewhere, at times like this the football family stands together, especially amongst the lower leagues.

Tell the scoreboard operator to put it up in lights also.

I was at the Essex v Australians match today where a minute's silence at midday was immaculately observed for those murdered in Tunisia. A silent tribute seems to me far more appropriate in this situation than applause.
Just a personal opinion.

Any chance of a TBV against Terrorism type banner.

I'm sorry if this seems a bit callous but the first game is weeks away. Tragic as the events are the moment will have been well and truly lost by then.

We are all entitled to opinions I suppose, but I think you are so wrong Orm.

Has everyone remembered?

Minute's applause in the 38th minute tomorrow in remembrance of those who were killed in the Tunisia. R.I.P
