Kelly also went on to help us get out of league 1
Nearly got us to the Premier League. He was phenomenal in the 22-23 play off season

Agree with points on here ;
Our PA system is & always has been garbage
The half time “wheel out “ is not sufficient.
A pre match showing, of our former stars , would show a bit more respect & a lot more people to appreciate them .
Didn’t we have a walk around the pitch at previous years ?

I'm happy to have a walk around the pitch for the likes of Liam Kelly, however the likes of Kevin Thornton and David Bell are hardly worthy of a standing ovation

I think between the day getting more popular with ex-players and many of them being older it was decided that it was too much and took too long.

I think Robins had just left, but great away day regardless.

To the point on the thread generally, Legends Day should include a reduced number of players getting a walkout or parade and as much I do like a lot of the players who attended from their time here, I wouldn’t use the word “Legend” to describe some of them.

I agree with the original poster. Kelly should have had a standing ovation and been last out. I found it quite embarrassing at the lack of applause for the legends in all honesty. However, they increased the overall attendance by 51 and helped break the record attendance.

They need less players.. 51 was far too many... and to many who are not legends

If we capped it to just bona fide 'legends' there would be a few members of the 87 cup final side there and that is it

Unfortunately due to the absolute tripe we were subjected to for 20+yrs most of our legends are either dead or still actively involved in the game

I’m sure logistically it’s a bit tricky (got to give the chaps a meal etc) but would be so much better pregame - after the warmups and before the teams come out.
Needs a montage on the screen as people have said .
If you were clever with the filming you could even just keep them in the stand and ask them to stand up and wave with the footage on the big screen

Half time is useless in front of the west stand as it’s hospitality and therefore empty at HT.

Yeah I think with the CCFPA they could do it differently than just having one game where they all walked out onto the pitch. Where players actually get a proper welcome and thanks for their contributions.
