The "no moving during an over" unwritten rule at the cricket also seems to have gone by the wayside as it's become more and more about a day out drinking for most.
I’ve seen latecomers admitted to empty seats on the end of rows, and people turn up to previously empty seats after the interval, never seen a row of people stand up to allow someone through.
I have, daft git Steverico, and his wife, turned up 15 minutes late to see Ken Dodd, their seats were in the middle of the front row. Doddy spotted them, thanked them for turning up, and started his act again from the very beginning. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Let them kick off then. It should only be opened at full-time or for wheelchair users. All able-bodied tosspots who want to leave early should go through the concourse.
We saw a couple of shows on the West End last year and in all but one of them people were allowed in late, luckily it didn't directly affect the area we were in, but the rustling of people moving around was certainly noticeable to most.
Been a while since I was regularly at the theatre, but the doors certainly weren't shut tight when the performance started and ended, but you would usually only be allowed back in between acts once the performance started. Not sure it's a direct comparison to football though, because most folk at the theatre aren't gonna sit through the bulk of the performance to leave before the finale.
Surely a good comparison? That's the main point isn't it - why on earth would anyone leave a football match, watching the team they support, before 'the finale'? Makes no sense (*) (other than the rare case where they really do have to get somewhere on time).
Sunderland will have a ‘field day’ against Hull’s full-backs Still, while Hull do have their threats, there’s no denying that Sunderland’s attacking talents will be expected to make something happen on Saturday. In fact, Griffin believes certain Sunderland players will relish facing Hull. On Hull’s weaknesses, he said: “Quite simply, Sunderland should have a field day against our full-backs. It’s a position we’ve been haunted by all season long. Lewie Coyle’s performances have dropped off a cliff and it’s scary to imagine the joy Enzo Le Fee could have against him. “On the other flank, we’ve been using Sean McLoughlin as a makeshift left back, as we failed to address that issue in January. He lacks real mobility and pace, so again, Patrick Roberts will be licking his lips.” What will be interesting, then, is whether Le Bris does keep Le Fee out wide on the left, or if the now-fit Romaine Mundle comes into the starting lineup, allowing the Frenchman to move more centrally. Wonder if Coyle will tell the Sunderland press to **** off, saying that about him
Yea enzo le fee World class Best player to ever play against hull city Hes scoring 2 goals a game Oh wait
Think this is a really tough game but different to the Burnley game, they will come at us and it’s down to our defending once again, We need to very strong at the back, hold out and hope we catch them out at the other end. I suppose you can say that about many games but they must be doing something right, unbeaten at home, top end of the table, Hard game and if we could take a point out of it then for me that would be a great point. 1.1 I optimistically hope.
We have a good record there We will put them in their place Automatic promotion? Youre having a laugh
To be fair, in the game at the MKM on Boxing Day, Clarke did cut inside and score. I think it was Christie at right-back when he scored though. In the game when we won 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, we had Docherty on the right-wing and him and Coyle doubled-up on Clarke.
