I just want to put this on record for all to read. It's for the so called supporters who arrive late, leave early, go to the bar or pie shop 10 minutes before the end of the first half, come back their seats 10 minutes after the second half has started, bring the biggest rucksack they can find which only has a can of coke in it apparently, breath alcohol fumes in my face as they push past, bring 3 month old babies and really small kids who get bored after the first 15 minutes, and start to leave 10 minutes before the game ends............ WHY DO YOU BOTHER? If you're more interested in drinking, eating pies, having a picnic or showing off your new baby, then go and do it somewhere else! I'm there to watch the football, and I'm fed up with having to constantly get up to let you wander about. Here's a few pointers: Eat before you get to the ground, likewise with the drinking, have a pee before the game starts, leave the enormous rucksack at home, take your kids to Bedlam for the afternoon, and get some breath freshener! Thank you for your attention. ILD OTBC
Didn´t have any of those when I used to go ILD, but then again we all had to stand all of the time, and if you were short you either didn´t see anything, or you had to sit on Dad´s shoulders so that he got a pain in the neck, but then those behind couldn´t see anything. There´s always something.
I must confess ,after consuming several beers i always take a slash 5 mins before KO ,then try and hold out to half time.... Very rarely manage it. I can drink tea water or fizzy pop and don`t have this problem.. I try to sit on the end ,as i know it`s annoying... I also take kids too, that would rather play with the seats than watch the game...
I am with you 100%, especially on the leaving early, bit of a mugs game under lambert. I always believe we can score. These are the people that ring canary call, guarantee it. One December a woman near me brought her whole days worth of Christmas shopping with her. Her husband looked mortified. I've seen some quite amazing food related things as well (the pinkun story about a man who brought a whole roast chicken from morrisons to every match is a fave) The people who leave early then stop halfway down an aisle to watch a chance, I've send them stop and we score, usually ending in them surfing over everyone towards the pitch! I have a few drinks before each game but leave taking a leak as long as I can. I walk into the ground just as the OTBC starts, got my technique just right so I'm good for another pee at half time!
Trouble is when the stupid train company refuse to delay the trains immediately after the match it forces peoples hands that need to get away quickly. I've run out of the ground after the end before now, sprinted up the road and watched the Sheringham train roll off empty, waited for an hour for the next one which is then mentall packed, so much so the conductor can't get down the train anyway...
You'll never catch me in one of those things Redruth, I think they should be destroyed and seats for real supporters put in! I'm in rant mode today, started with a bus running me into a hedge this morning on my way to work!!!! ILD OTBC
Punch them in the throat ILD. Happens very rarely in the Upper Barclay but I'm sitting in the Jarrold for the Bolton game and can see this happening near me. Quality rant by the way keep up the good work!
