When should we begin the minute’s silence—this weekend (1st November) or next (8th November)? And should the home team request it, or should we suggest it ourselves?

If the home team don't have another home game before Remembrance Sunday they may well be looking to have a minute's silence this weekend. Probably best to discuss with both sides at the teamsheet exchange.

Normally done on the match day closest to Remembrance Sunday. So next Saturday (8th).
Ordinarily, County FAs will push out an email confirming when/what is to take place.

Similar to this, has anyone bought the stick on poppies to wear and are they only going to wear them next week?
