Would be nice to see the whole area outside the front of St Marys filled with scarfs/flowers etc.

 

Never been one for public mourning or the 'scouser way', but personally I am going to make the effort to pop up there tommorow and pay my respects. Hopefully everyone else does as well... to me that would be a fitting short-term tribute to the man.

 

And from a completely selfish point of view... if the Liebherr family see how respected and loved the guy is, it might just help them decide to get more involved with his football club, or at the very least... keep it.

Agreed, never been one for public mourning, but due to him being such a private person this is the only way a tribute can be made. Shame I can't get down there...

this will build and build till the Orient game....I have a feeling that when we put out first in the net, the cheer will be pretty big...

 

Was going on holiday on the morning of the Orient game so had given my season tickets away to family. Had to now buy them tickets instead and delay going on holiday because we have to be there for this game.

The tributes are certainly growing, I hope SFC collect up all the floral tributes and place them in buckets of water to prolong the life of them it will look so much nicer as well.

I hope everything will still be there for the Orient game as I can't get down to SMS before then to add my tribute. (China is a rather long way to come just to lay flowers ;), but I'll be coming for the game so hope it all remains.)

Im the same. Like yesterday I felt numb. I said to myself have a word, but the way I see it, the club means everything to me and without him, it wouldnt have been there.

 

So the least I could do was stick a message on a shirt.

I went down last night at 7.45pm, it was really eery but there were some lovely words which brought a tear to my eye. Here is my small tribute to Markus http://twitpic.com/2e91n1

 

Oh my, hello Natalie. :D - I know of you, this is a fact, we have mutual friends and EVERYTHING!

 

Just to keep this on topic and so I don't get infracted. Can you translate that message into English please? :smug:

 

And double on topic, I am going to show my face down there this afternoon and pay my respects, the book of condolance is available from 1pm for anyone whom feels like it.

Prior to Wednesday, that was the only thing people were talking about on here.

It says:

Rest in peace, Markus.

Thankyou for everything!

We will miss you.

Best wishes, the Kitcher family

Taken yesterday lunchtime

 

This is the main area, outside the entrance. But there are 2 more memorial areas, about a third of the size, on turnstiles A and B of the Itchen Stand.

Looking good. It would be good if they could section off a big square all the way from the building to the edge of Ted's statue on Saturday so that they can all be put together and people can add to it. I'm sure the Orient players can walk from the car park.

It seems that this is what will happen. I spoke to two stewards at the stadium this evening and they said that the plan was to put them altogether for Saturday. They also said that members of Markus' family will be coming to look tomorrow as they had been amazed to hear of the many fans' tributes.

I hope that brings some comfort to them, to see the outpouring of grief from so many who never knew him yet hold him in such high esteem for saving the club.

It takes a special man to touch the lives of so many people who never had the pleasure to meet him.

Can someone please try and get pics from tomorrow > his family at the ground ( if true ) + the memorial service ....

 

I was wondering wether to take my camera but wondered if it was in poor taste to take pictures of people going into a memorial service in a church.

I hope to meet one or two of you tomorrow afternoon if you are down there. There's a few clients who we can't fit on the bus for the Orient gam so I'm bringing them down to pay their respects. Give us ahand with the wheeelchairs if you see me struggling PLEEEEASE.

 

I WILL NOT GET EMOTIONAL

If members of his family do come over today, that's really nice of them to make the effort.

 

I hope they go away realising how grateful we are for his intervention last summer.
