The minute’s silence at St Andrew’s was ruined by supporters of Birmingham City and Northampton Town (YouTube)
The memorial silence in St. Andrew’s was ruined then Birmingham City and Northampton Town supporters traded insults during a rendition of the Last Post.
In honor of Remembrance Day, a minute’s silence will be held at all football matches this weekend.
But as the Last Post was played during the lull at St Andrew’s on Saturday, Birmingham City supporters became enraged after hearing noise from Northampton Town’s away section.
Birmingham fans began shouting and swearing back at the Northampton supporters, adding to the noise around the pitch, while the heavy cheers of the home crowd began to drown out the bugler.
A Birmingham City fan wrote on lives sacrificed, inexcusable.
Another Birmingham fan wrote: ‘I’ve never seen anything like this during a minute’s silence from the Northampton Town fans. Absolute idiots, brain dead small club mentality.”

A Northampton Town supporter told a Birmingham City fan on Birmingham were no better they interrupted anyway, all the boys said they were quiet.
“It’s a big confusion where people were singing outside, not in the ground, making them angry because you were talking about one percent.
“It’s even worse for your fans, you started doing it too.”
Another Northampton fan added: ‘There was a small group of Cobblers fans walking outside the hall and starting to sing so they probably didn’t know. To mock any form of silence is shameful.”
