Pigs in Space 1 Posted February 12, 2009 There is a fella who sits four or five rows infront of me. Every match, without fail, he arrives in his seat, which is in the middle of a row, 5 minutes after kickoff and leaves his seat again 5 minutes before half time, this is then repeated for the second half......if it is you, and you know who you are, can I just say....IT ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME. and probably also the 20 or so people that you make get up each time.Is there really a need for it.

The Horse 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Is it really that hard to stand up for 3 seconds to let somebody through? I sit in the middle of B block and purposefully go down the side with the grumpy people just to annoy them sometimes and believe me, they need the exercise.

beachbum 0 Posted February 12, 2009 I deliberately dont drink too much before a game cos I dont want to be missing anything..However around me, you can predict that on 20 mins people start to head to the Gents. What really gets me though are the ones who leave about 6 or 7 mins before half time, then wander back sometimes up to 10 mins after 2nd half kicks off.You might as well spend the PM in the pub.

PKC 0 Posted February 12, 2009 While attending regimental dinners in the army leaving the table during the meal was an offence likely to lead to a number of extra duties so it was not unheard of for people to fit cathaters. On one occasion a drunk female Sgt peed in the regimental silver to avoid leaving the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 0 Posted February 12, 2009 I think you need to get your tactics right with loo breaks, I''ve managed to prepare myslef accordingly and go just before kick off and again towards the end of half-time.Although I have to say, things are now at the stage where getting together for a couple of beers pre-match is the highlight of the afternoon, the game is just a neccessity that follows!

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Like Beachbum, I never drink much before a game because my bladder is absolutely woeful - normally heightened by a boring game in cold weather. I''m very jealous of those who can have about five pints before a game and comfortably sit there until half-time before having another few beers.The proper ettiquette for me is to acknowledge the people who have stepped aside with a nod or a ''cheers''. I don''t mind moving for people but it does grind my gears when they just barge through, especially, for some reason, kids below fifteen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted February 12, 2009 In the good old days we used to call it the Barclay hot leg, you would just flop it out and piss on the poor sod in front of you, then shuffle back a bit, you used to get bovril cups full of piss thrown at you anyway.

Arthur Whittle 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Nothing against the new generation supporters, but I think in the old days they would have given football a miss and gone to theatre rather than go on the terracing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theres only one Ken Foggo 0 Posted February 12, 2009 What about people who leave five minutes from the end, even when the match is a thrilling one and/or delicately poised? I just cannot understand that. It''s like switching a film off before the end! I''m sure there are quite a few people around who curse their stupidity at leaving before the end of City v Middlesbrough in 2005 when City were 4-1 down with ten minutes to go - yet still they do it!!!!

seat124 0 Posted February 12, 2009 that actually happened to me in the early seventies as well, lappin! I knew i could smell burning, but by the time I realised it was me, it was to bloody late! F8ked up a very expensive designer gear of the time! Ah the good old days, smoking and drinking on the terraces, tight leg trousers with flares and turn ups, crombies, doc martins, steel combs, scarf around wrist and or through belt on trousers. No problem in getting down the lethal steps at the back of the barclay to have a pee in an outside brick building fitted with suitable trough, hoping that you did not encounter away nutters having a comfort break at the same time.. Not a kitchen or hotel in sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobert 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Well its all very well for the young ''uns (and I do think that they should get there on time and not leave before half time) but believe me when you get to 70yrs and over and if you are a woman, and had a difficult birth with your child, controlling your bladder can be difficult. The real problem is the guy who designed the stadium and the Board of Directors who decided to "pack ''em in". I believe there is a problem too with guys with high blood pressure who are given pills to pee regularly and miss out on strokes. So don''t get too upset lads if the old ''un goes for a pee. It might be a question of life or death for him and remember too you lads that sitting down to pee can add a few years to your life as you get older! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
