      I won't be changing me avatar. I've explained why via PM to RedKenny and will explain publically here.

      I feel uneasy changing me avatar at this moment in time because it makes me feel like I've only started thinking about the 96 recently. Which isn't true. I can change me avatar any single day of the year, I don't need to change it just because it's the anneverisarry.

      I understand and respect why people are changing it but I won't. And it's not out of disrespect. It's just because I feel it does look like (to me anyway) that we're only changing it because of the annervisarry rather than because our thoughts are with the 96. I don't expect people to feel the same way, it's just a personal thing. I'm just explaining why I'm not changing it before people start having a pop.

      I'm not going to lie, that is the first time I have properly looked at the list of the 96. I was quite shocked at the majority of young people.

      We should be thinking about the 96 every day, and I'm sure most do. But a change of avatar is like a minutes silence, we're not going to have a minutes silence before every game.

      I'm with Eem on this one, its to show a mark of respect.  This will stay with the club, families and fans for ever, a change in avatar doesn't mean you've just been reminded of it.

      What I'm saying Smiggs is I can change it come the 26th of November and it'll have the same effect to me. It's not like it has to be done now, the 96 will not be returning to this mortal earth so it should be rememered every single day not just the week leading up to the annervisarry.

      Personally I think the club could do a whole lot more. Have a few games a season where all the money raised there goes to the families, it's not like they're gonna miss two/three games revenue. I think we as a forum could do things throughout the year, for example pick a week in the year (1-7 of November) and ask 7 users of the forum to post a little piece on how they feel. It could be as simple as a RIP to a poem to a 13 page essay. You know I just think changing an avatar at this moment is a nice gesture, I'm not saying it isn't, but I don't think it needs to be one of those things that has to be done (or brought to attention) at a certain time.

      The media only remember the day in the week leading up to the annerversiarry, we as fans don't. We remember them 365 days a year, so we can do things to show our memories any time we want.
