I think it will be hard to get people to wait that long, someone give a cheer for me as I can't be there.

Without it appearing contrived is there any way the club can help promote this on the OS.

The problem is that online supporters are a tiny proportion of the support as a whole, and the vast majority of people will have no idea this is supposed to happen.

That's why we need people to be vocal on the way in. If you shout it loudly in your section before kick off or before you go in the ground, people will know and join in.

That and twitter is a very powerful medium, thousands of people already know.

As well as the group I have just set up a page.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aston-Villa-Applause-for-Stiliyan-Stan-Petrov-19th-minute/361148293923639   

Once you get 25 members, you can change the Page title to something easier as in http://www.facebook.com/handv

I was going to suggest we applauded continuously from kick off until 19th minute but on reflection it's probably not practical.
