Hi Kerr, great idea for an entry, it's just that to me it comes across as being, well, the start of an entry. There must be so much more to say about the Munich air crash, at least the names of the players who were killed and a little background.
I know what you mean Z, but I want to keep the focus on the song, not the actual crash. I'll have anothe rlook later today.
I've updated the entry to include the dead and injured.
Which Ewan MCcoll song ?
In terms of a small consise entry, I like this ..

Hi KA,
<< ... become a tradition for Manchester United fans to stand at the Munich memorial plaque at their ground [insert a comma here  ] Old Trafford, and sing the song at the match held closest to the date of the crash. >>
The way I read this, I imagine the entire crowd (1000s of them) huddled around one little plaque 
Is the plaque permanently fixed or can/do they place it in the centre of the pitch on such occasions?
I'm imagining that if it there's a large crowd, they'd 'look towards' the plaque and sing the song
A v. minor point -
 << The eight dead team members were: >>
might sound better as
>> The eight team members killed were: <<
Also, I see no problem with the (relatively short) length of this entry, as Jon_m says, it's _concise_ - ie it explains much in very few words, in itself a lesson for many of us 
Thanks all.
The song was The Wars of Germanie, and according to reports it's a couple of hundred fans that gather under the memorial to sing, I'll update to make it clearer. I'll also tidy up that sentence, six7.
