One Minute Applauses. (1 Viewer)

So, I've had a bit of a hang up about it for a while, but more and more of my group that attend matches are also starting to pass comment now too.
It seems as though more and more people are, what I feel, begging for likes on twitter/fb and starting minutes applauses for people who have died at certain minutes during matches. The football at times is becoming a side show to minutes applauses. I remeber MK away we had 3 separate 1 minute applauses where everyone stands and ignores the game and claps for 1 min and you feel compelled to join in.
Anyway, I've been thinking for a while that there has to be a better, more thoughtful way of doing something for family and friends that have died, and today, it came to me.
Almost like a day of the dead celebration, we have one single match per season where we have a list of names on the scoreboard of everyone who had passed away the previous 12 months before the match where we have ONE, SINGLE applause for them all collectively. Black armbands for the players maybe, and then a video of pictures at HT (similar to the remembrance weekend game thing).

What are other thoughts?

Question is, how do we (as a fan base) go about changing it. It's the popular thing to do. Do we leave it and hope it filters off? Or do we call it out??

How would you even approach the club with the idea of the change? And how would the club even start to implement something like that?

I think they have a place but not for everyone. Tragic events, former important players or managers (we did for JH & it woukd be right for JS when it happens) but they are too often now which if anything diminishes the value of the times we should.
