Do we think they deserve a little support back from us all ?

Clapping, whilst a nice gesture, doesn't help. Funding and support from our government as well as better wages and proper equipment will go a lot further.

I think I'd prefer it if they simply had the PPE and other equipment they need to do the job we so desperately need them to do, and to do it safely without putting themselves at risk, but I suppose a round of applause couldn't hurt.

It's a bit like you think you are doing something. In fact you are doing nothing.

We are doing it. It's the smallest of gestures but it will be appreciated by our NHS workers. Least we can do is show our support.

I wonder how many that now want to clap the NHS voted tory?

Supporting a party that for the past 10 years has absolutely decimated this brilliant service.

Pure hypocrisy, such as this meaningless gesture, truly makes me want to puke - a view shared by my Wife; who has been a nurse in the NHS for the past 27 years.

I can understand why people dont want to partake &
Im certainly not trying to influence .

Just had lots of support from the health service for myself & family members over the years, so am more
than happy to partake.

Tell that to NHS workers; who are underpaid, overworked, stressed to breaking point and don't have the tools to do their job.

That's not just during this Coronavirus pandemic either.

The state of the National Health Service is EVERYTHING to do with politics; and the savage annihilation of the service, under the last 10 years of a tory government!

I'll tell my Wife when she gets in tomorrow morning around 7am (having gone into work for 5pm).

I'm sure she'll be so grateful. :xxx

Hopefully the club will make a gesture to local NHS staff by inviting them along to a game or two next season.
I think they get a discount on tickets, or they used to and I know our club are usually very good at This type of thing anyway.
I heard that Brighton are giving away 1,000 tickets next season for example.
I’ve just come back from my street door was pleasantly surprised that most of my neighbours were out joining in with the clapping.

She text me actually about half hour ago about this event. Not being on (un)social media, I wouldn't have even known.

Moreover, it was her who (to paraphrase) said "pity that people don't have this admiration for us when they are in a polling booth at election time".

You know how you black cabbies do that geeat stuff for disabled kids ,?

Well this is our tiny way of showing support to the health service .

Futile or not if nurses & doctors get to go to work the next day because people appreciate them , maybe theyll have a second less of a stressful day.


You are getting far to much of Old Geezer Max
