Display for Stan

[rutski]

Tomorrow is probably too soon but maybe we could do something to encourage people to join the bone marrow register.  Hopefully Stan won't need this but even if it's not of direct help to him it could be a life saver for someone else's child or loved one.  It would be a really positive way of showing our support.

Brilliant idea, is there maybe a way for the club to make it part of their next statement?

Indeed. It would be great if other clubs could also get involved, especially considering the donor target group.

this is all great support. i also believe in organ donation and feel we should all be organ donors! i can understand if someone has strong beliefs should opt out but that isnt the case, we all need to opt in! sorry, does that make sense?

Pat Heard and Tim Abraham have both re-tweeted about the 19th minute's applause keep it going #getwellstan

The first I knew about Stan's situation was the cameras showing stan in the stand and the whole stadium applauding.  It was surreal as I knew it must be serious.  Hat's off to everyone involved for such a touching and sincere moment.

Those are your beliefs but not everyone else's and organ donation should remain that, a donation.

I agree with villabobby on this one, donation is a personal choice and available now for those who wish to become donors.

Is there to be a card display?

We couldn't get it sorted in time. Maybe for the last game of the season.

Probably not the best idea to do it for this match anyway.

I'd imagine it'd be done in the Holte, and for this fixture there will doubtless be swathes of empty seats - wouldn't that make the card display impractical?

Was my concern. I think the only section of the ground guaranteed to be filled is the North Stand lower.

Let me know if donations are needed. Last game would be excellent

I think a display of Red/White and Green balloons (colours of Bulgaria's flag) could be done at another home game. If each person let off three balloons each as the teams come out it would look superb.

I remember we used to do the balloons thing superbly years ago, maybe it could be done again for Stan?
