But we are solid in respect of Remembrance Day anyway! Also it's only one footie match that we are referring to and the players could quite easily display poppies on their pre-match tracksuits if they choose to do so.and a pragmatic approach prevails! There are thousands of events up n down the country as well and many people choose to display a red poppy, others opt for the white peace poppy distributed by the Earl Haig foundation. Some people wear both poppies and other folk don't display anything - it's all down to a personal choice and regard for this respectful occasion and I'm damn sure that one miniscule omission in a footie match that has been massively highlighted by our media will not dampen the occasion one jot! Maybe both footie associations should've considered arranging the fixture to a more appropriate date anyway instead of it clashing with Armistice Day!
