My Auntie died Monday. She didn't really go to games, but kept an eye out for the scores.

Should we have a minutes applause for her too?

Seriously, this fawning to get appluause for anyone is getting nauseating. Keep it for people directly related to the club - players, staff.

Martyn only asked, no need to bite his head off. Condolences for your loss.


Martyn, I think too much time has passed to have a minutes applause and seeing as the club refused to request one at Wembley for the fan who died at the Leicester game, I can't see them making an effort for Stuart.

I agree Han but Stuart wasnt exactly just a fan was he ? He was 1 of the fore runners involved in the " I'll Be There " single ..... maybe Ali can dedicate an old Phonics single or indeed the new KFC single ??

Nerd then surely do what I did and buy and dedicate a brick in the City Walk to your aunty just like I did for my Dad :ayatollah:

I was never really a Phonics fan and I was indifferent to him as a person, but he obviously means a lot to people on here, Martyn especially. I have no view on the minute's applause but would not object if there was one and would obviously join in

Stuart WAS the Valleys and seeing as our club has a significant support from the Valleys it would be a nice gesture. If he was good enough to play at the legends game and be the guest of honour for the Leicester game, then surely he's good enough to have a minutes applause or some other mark of respect.

No probs, Martyn. Some of the replies have been a bit OTT though

What about Wayne Jones the guy who died in the Play Off Semi?

Ive been told that Killing for Company are doing something at half time :ayatollah:

Yeah, sorry if you read it as an attack, Vintage.

It's just that, for me, the whole minutes silence thing is becoming so common it just loses any effect. Cable may have been a City fan, but at the end of the day, made music, appeared on TV. That doesn't make him any better - or more important - than anyone else who dies.

If Ali wants to say something, play a song, whatever, fine... but a minutes silence/applause is utterly OTT.

The man did a hell of a lot for charity and did a lot to get Wales recognised in the first place.

I would say, despite some of his short comings (The man had the smelliest farts I have ever smelt :lol: ) but the amount of charity work he did made him better than the average person. He had a heart of gold.

Not disagreeing; there are equally plenty of people who do charitable work without getting the publicity. Sorry, but "getting Wales recognised in the first place"? I'd have to argue on that score...

At the end of the day though he was a sort of a high profile City fan and he has to be commended just for his efforts to launch the " I'll Be There " charity single along with the rest of the organizers like Jonathan ? :ayatollah:

Re: 1 minute's applause ? ?

WHY not just ask Ali to play one if his songs - i don't feel the minute silence is credible now - asit has been so long since his death has passed.....

Yes acknowledge the fact if was a loss - EVERY city fan who knew he supported CCFC would be aware of his passing and probably have already done something - via facebook/twitter/funeral etc

SO yeah Im sure Stuart would be more in favour of a good ole piss up n sing song than a depressing minutes silence!

I met him once and he told me he supported Liverpool? Any truth in that?

He was a Pool fan too. Also an egg chaser. He would watch any sports though. Darts, golf, snooker etc.

What are you thinking, this is a terrible idea!
What is wrong with everyone?
Great gesture and something he deserves in my eyes, had the pleasure of meeting him when i was younger and he was great, a top bloke who played in a top band.
Even if he doesnt support Cardiff, he represents Wales and I for one would be chuffed to see him applauded before the game.
