Applause for Petrov

[Chipsticks]

Yeah, I was thinking that'd probably be the easiest.

How about, "We love you Petrov, we do"?

Stiliyan Petrov's Claret and Blue Army.

Too cheesy / sentimental.

We just need to get behind them today - especially the young ones.

And remind Chelsea about lack of Euro success!

[Olneythelonely]

I don't think we need to worry about over sentimentality.

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

Success:

Hello Lee

Thanks for the email.

Absolutely 100% happy to support. Obviously everyone is devastated. it's things like this that bring the villa family even closer together. I know Stan is very aware of the get well wishes and may even be at the game tomorrow.

Will get on this now and start to promote.

Thanks Russell

Nice one Lee. Thanks

Awesome - very well done!!

Kinda hoping the ball gets hoofed into a stand as the clock hits 19 minutes, it gets held for a minute wherever it lands and neither players or officials feel the need to look for it for at least sixty seconds (actually if a chelsea player hoofs it into row Z, all the better).

After a minutes ear bursting applause, we then do our best to replicate the kind of noise that used to have me clinging to my dad's trouser leg in awe and fear, when he first started taking me to games.     

This!

Here's an audio clip the club released on their Facebook page of the 19th minute applause. We really did Stan, and ourselves proud with this.

Such a special moment, I got genuine goosebumps.

His speech before the game was also fantastic.

Indeed, i've thanked him many times but again, thanks for all you did Leeg. And also everyone who helped spread the word. I hope we all did Stan proud today.
