Match Day Thread Hull City v Watford

[Jim the Tiger]

I think you know my views on RL in this city Jim. We are all entitled to support who we want and I accept that. But I don't like or agree with the preferential treatment RL fans get in the stadium we share with them in the same city as us. So all DCMS rules ( what ever they are) are not the same are they?

They take the bottle tops off for rugby league fans as well if that makes you feel better?

If you're talking about alcohol consumption as a preferential treatment then that's something you need to take up with UEFA, not the RFL or the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport who brought in the bottle top rule to try and save a few broken necks. UEFA are the ones who dictate the guidelines on alcohol consumption and the FA who follow them and ban it from the view of the pitch.

I can't think of any other preference Hull FC get you may be referring too. The whole stadium is decorated like it belongs to City, including the coroperate boxes and bars, and the fans only get the same food and drink offerings.

Doncaster and Rotherham both postponed as well. It must be bad round there.

gloriously sunny but sub zero and mid day KO TBF at the lane

That is the coldest I’ve ever been (and I also did Witton and the Hockey Stadium). I realised at half time that half my face was caked with ice, and I couldn’t move my legs. I imagined I was nearing death.

The blizzard walking back to the city centre was Amundsen-esque.

I snapped a pissing dog off a lamppost that day.

Lids are removed from water bottles at football matches primarily for safety and security, to prevent them from being used as projectiles, they’re removed at concerts for the same reason.

They haven’t been removing them in our stand which is why I was surprised somebody in another stand said they had been in the South.

Never had a bottle top taken off in the South Stand

Night match at MK Dons' old Hockey Ground (2004?) takes some beating. Grown men were weeping.

Remember that, open stand with 2 inches of snow on the ground and the stewards told me to put a *** out because it was a fire risk!!

When was the last time you saw an orange matchball?

 

[John1904-07]

Snowed in out on the coast with no trains running. Gutted to miss it.

Be ideal for it to be postponed but cant see that happening.

Sunny, in HU7, but heres the disclaimer, that could be deceiving.

Or Hutton Cranswick...

The fact a bottle can still be thrown with no lid on kind of quashed the argument of reddit and quora users where I suspect his 'facts' came from! That and for added impact the thrower could simply push some tissue in the hole to ensure not a drop is spilt!!

Has anyone thought to ask if these 'bottle lid removers' are paid a skilled workers rate of pay,or if the TGWU are involved in negotiations at this stage?

I've just spent the last 5 minutes fiddling around removing the lid from a 2 ltr bottle of fanta orange,I'll spend the next 10 trying to re-thread it back on before putting it back into the back garden to freeze,where hopefully the decking has been adequately gritted.

And if someone slips over and it

If is not their fault such as being tripped or pushed then someone else is to blame of course . But if you choose to venture out walking on an icy or snowy day you accept the risk that it brings . Your response is of someone of an age I guess that has been fed ‘someone else is to blame ‘ if you look hard enough . The advent of litigation as a serious industry for the legal profession to earn loots of money has been encouraged across the world , in my past it was the Yanks who were laughed at for having such a litigious society .

Got Norovirus this weekend so that’s me ****ed. Enjoy the game, everyone.

When I was a contractor (and unwilling to give up my day rate), whilst working remotely i got norovirus. I still worked, but did 30 mins work, 30 mins laid on the floor or ****ting out water somewhere.

Good times.

AWOOGA!

A quick check on Google has the answer. Soft drinks bottles are required to have caps that are tethered to the bottle under EU regulations in order to aid the recycling process!

I’m gonna get Gretta on the case if they take my lid off!
