It is not suggested that a tribute is paid to all and sundry,the All Saints Day is a 'catch all' for that perhaps,but there are events and people that deserve a mark of respect to be shown ie those who have contributed to the club significantly (Ted Bates,Alan Ball,etc) and tragedys (Bradford fire,Hillsborough,twin towers in 2001),and I think two local firemen fall into that category.
Large areas of Northam lost family in the Titanic disaster,do you think Southampton as a community should have said "nothing to do with me" and gloss over it if they did not personally know anyone in it?
