There will be an Act of Remembrance at 1.45pm this Saturday by the Memorial Wall at Gates 1 and 2. This is organised by the football club and STAR. All members of the public are welcome to attend and to lay a poppy.

Over the past four years STAR has laid a wreath to mark the 100th anniversary of each of the fallen players at the Memorial Wall.

Will the Last Post be played pre match? I hope so. It’s so poignant.

1.50 following "The Last Post" wreaths will be laid.
2.57 turnstiles close for Remembrance activity .
2.58 The Last Post played by bugler Mark Dallas.
2.59 Minutes silence.

Other activities are planned from 12.30.
Therfore you will have two chances to hear it.
