Hull fans are being encouraged to show support for Mason by taking part in a minute's applause during Thursday's EFL Cup semi-final against Manchester United at the KCOM Stadium.
The club wants fans to applaud in the 25th minute to represent the number of Mason's shirt.
His team-mates will warm up on the pitch before the game wearing T-shirts with 'Mason 25' on.
You're not Liverpool!!!
Yes - now he is in the clear can we go back to remembering he is a horrible little ****Quote:

Though that shouldn't effect him.
I am afraid while we as a club are willingly stood back and allowing banners of a player’s pet dogs to be hung from our stadium walls (levels?) we are in no position whatsoever to criticise the antics of another club.
It's a bit of fun, sw.Quote:

I know, which is why I applaud the efforts of Hull FC sending a message of support to a stricken member of the family.Quote:

I really don't understand why some folks are getting so upset about this banner. The player, who is basically a big puppy himself, seems to like it.Quote:

As news filtered out that he had been taken to St Mary’s Hospital, and was then undergoing an operation, social media was filled with people posting support and prayers.Quote:

He is one of those trusted professionals who won’t let the side down on or off the pitch.
That's rather lovely, la. You should consider journalism as a career.Quote:
