You don’t cheer or clap after the last post like some of our fans do every year. The last post is followed by silence until the referees whistle, just a heads up as it gets on my nerves every year!

Watched the Fulham - Man Utd game earlier & they decided to applaud the supposed minutes silence of Remembrance!
Whilst some occasions are more worthy of a minutes applause than a minutes silence which I do get, the Remembrance/Armistice Commemorations have always been a minutes silence, why do people still not get the protocol?!

Some started to applaud at our game mate also(mainly Cardiff) but when it was realised it was then impeccable |

I prefer the clapping as it covers the potential noise of any wankers in the crowd. |

Brilliant rendition by the bugler today.
Lump in the throat moment.

Can't the fans read what it said on the screens prior to the start of the Last Post!

I prefer the clapping as it covers the potential noise of any wankers in the crowd. I do but only on certain occasions. Worked well for the Bobby Charlton tribute as prevented anyone from the Leeds end in particular getting abit gobby! But for me, Remembrance/Armistice should always be a minutes silence. Always has been and aside from the McClean distraction has always to my knowledge been impeccably observed at Stoke as it has at many other clubs. Don't think folk can hear the tannoy announcers instructions clearly and things then usually head off in a different direction on the referees whistle to how it's meant to 🙄😬 But surely the last post instructions and traditions can be upheld by majority of footy fans?! |

I so think the club get those wrong. Makes more sense for the silence then the last post?

People literally were just clapping the musician weren’t they? Went silent really quickly and it wasn’t anything but that which I thought was nice.

It was extremely emotional and everyone was very respectful. Have some people nothing better to do than moan about a few people getting it slightly wrong? |

They were just appreciating it then stopped. Felt totally natural really even as someone who did stay silent. |

Sitting next to one of the block entrances there’s no such thing as a minute's silence anymore, not even for something that’s held every year.

No ones been moaning about what happened at Stoke today as far as I've read or seen?! I'd mentioned that the Fulham v Man Utd match became a minutes applause throughout the last post instead of the expected silence which was just weird & wrong, and folk have merely progressed that conversation deciding the for's and againsts about the minutes silence or applauding at footy matches. |

It was a brilliant rendition of the last post and deserving of a gentle ripple of applause. It very quickly subsided and the silence, a full minutes silence for a pleasant change, was perfectly observed. It all seemed very respectful and natural to me. |

It didn’t go on for longer than 5-10 seconds and felt natural like you say. The only shushing I heard (which is a tell tale sign it was a fuck up) came from the away end but again that felt (I had my head bowed) like it was people walking in late and being normal but then being quiet instantly once they realised. |

Silence after the last post is preferable .. the comparison to immediate silence stark and the moment of reflection and reverence .. however the ripple of applause , similar I suggest to that often experienced these days as a funeral cortege enters a crematorium or church grounds for well attended funerals , soon died down and the silence that followed was both impeccable and emotional as it should be
I lost my father a few years ago , who served in the Grenadiers shortly after WWII in Palestine and lost his best friend there when they were ordered to cross land that was suspected to have been mined , but a path not yet cleared …
RIP to all those who have served .. and thoughts to those that remember them

It’s the Last Post, then silence.
Not applause.
Not the reverse way round.
It’s not difficult.
You don’t applaud the person playing the Last Post. As well intentioned as that may be, that’s not how it works. It’s a SILENCE.
Some traditions don’t need narcissists putting their own “stamp” on them.
Applause AFTER the silence is fine.

Thing is, there was absolutely no ill intent yesterday whatsoever. I don't think it was narcissism that led to people clapping the bugler, they just don't listen or are incapable of retaining information for more than 30 seconds. The fact it seems to happen every year since the addition of a bugler playing 'The Last Post' is pretty annoying, but I'd hazard a guess that it's mostly the same dickwads who get caught out every year. |

You should also remove your headwear, where worn, unless in the military. Old school I know, but correct procedure.

Brilliant rendition by the bugler today. Lump in the throat moment. Made me cry yesterday. It was the 44th anniversary of my father’s passing at the age of 23- even more poignant as my mum passed away 13 weeks ago. The emotion of it all got me where it hurt. But it’s always important to honour those who gave their all for the country during conflict. |
