Picture Tribute - Memorial game Jan 1st


This is a fantastic idea, i lost my Dad in July and my Mam in November. Its been tough. I was in bits when i read this thread. I'll definitely try to sort out some pictures for my son and me to hold up.
My sister has already added their names to Memorial list to go up on the scoreboard, unfortunately she was unable to get a ticket for the game.
My Dad would've loved whats happening now, his last match he saw was the Play-Off final, what a way to go out 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

If it’s any consolation, he went out on the highest if highs.

My dads last game was Coventry in the play off semi final, he died the day before the play off final, but I went in his memory and hes been with us all season.

My son comes to games and his match day attire includes his grandads cap.

Thoughts with you and everyone who's lost someone this year

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 link …
You must be logged on to see media items

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
