Message from Joanne who organises the Heaven Branch:
Memorial game 1st January
Hi I’m Joanne from The Heaven Branch, we are organising a picture tribute at this game and ask for all fans help to spread the word.
Tribute inspired by Union Berlin:
We have around 100 prints of fans, club staff and former players ready to place on seats in The Roker end with the help of This is Wearside. These are on behalf of families who can’t get to the game, We are relying on people sat in those seats to help hold them up. Each picture will have the name of the fan on the back so you know who you are holding up. If you find one on your seat and don’t wish to join in please pass it on.
Those who have their own photos just take them with you to your seat. We have fans in all areas of the ground joining in.
They can be any size, most have gone for A3, A2 and a couple have made flags.
Before kick off there will be a minute applause announced, during that applause we will hold up our pictures.
Pictures are for those who have passed in the 8 years since we were last in the Premier League.
Names on the scoreboard and in program are for those who have passed in the last 12 months.
We have tried our best to get the info out so no one at the game isn’t aware what we are doing. If you know anyone who this applies to please let them know.
The Heaven Branch is a group of fans supporting fellow fans when they lose a loved one
There is a thread on our forums for further discussion.
