Respecting the Dead

This petition was published by Thomas Stirling on Jan 03, 2008

As Loyal Rangers supporters, we demand that David Murray and Rangers Football club, stop the disrespectful and demeaning applause to commemorate the dead at our football stadium.

We ask that our absent friends who died tragically in the Ibrox disaster are remembered in a solemn and respectful manner and not by holding a 1 minute applause.

We feel this new politically correct trend is not befitting of our great club. Most Rangers supporters would rather hold a one minute silence to remember our friends and family who gave their lives watching our beloved team.

The supporters of Rangers also have a tremendous record of respecting the dead, regardless of politics, religion or whatever team the person played for, and believe the club have nothing to fear by holding a 1 minute silence. Fans feel that we are being asked to join in a process which is alien to our beliefs and is extremely undignified when remembering the departed.

This petition calls on the management at Rangers Football club, to seriously consider this petition and for once respect the views of the majority of the fans of our Scottish sporting institution.
