Rupethebear 0 Posted June 20, 2011 I heard that our old fashioned dug out may be outlawed in the premier league as benches aren''t up to the quality and image required.If this is the case do we have to replace them with sponsored seats? If so these will take up more room so will a number of seats that are currently behind the dugout be moved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 5,246 Posted June 20, 2011 This has crossed my mind also and as i sit in one of the seats directly behind the home dugout i and about 8 other season ticket holders would be affected.Obviously double that number taking the visitors dugout into the equation but nobody from the Club has made any contact.These are prime seats which we pay top dollar for so if we are to be inconvenienced to make way for improved dugouts/technical areas i would be interested to know what the solution will be with regard to relocation.

On the topic of the dug out, i remember Lambert saying early on the first thing we are going to have to change are the seats in there, he couldn''t have Fergie sitting on one of those benches. I think it''s a good decision, obviously if it doesn''t mess around the seating behind it, our dugouts are so old fashioned, bit of an embarassment really in the prem, Fulham most likely have a better dugout!

KCanary 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Can''t imagine Lambert will like to make the opposition dugout nice and comfortable with heated padded seats, this is the man who pulled all the plug sockets out of the away dressing room at Colchester! Sod''em i say, make them sit on kids chairs, anything to mentally disturb the oppo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted June 21, 2011 All a waste of money.Why not give the subs a stool and let them do some of the ball boy work. Any proper football game and it is usually one of the subs (or reserves as they were) who would have to run the line. And also run onto the pitch with the bucket of water and sponge when someone was hurt, (obviously not just randomly during the game because they fancied joining in).Talking of going on the pitch, where do those blokes who come on to the pitch at half time, and poke the ground with forks, watch the game ? Also is it like being a ball boy where they supply you with a stool or do you have to bring your own fork ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted June 21, 2011 Give me strength!Watch some of the Super 15 Rugby (For the uninitiated that is one level below international standard) and watch where the subs sit in most stadiums, its on a plastic chair on the side of the pitch, exposed to the elements. If they want to keep warm they get on a static bike and pedal, or run up and down. How'' s that for forward thinking, and not pampering the little dears?

norfolkchance1 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Think if I was manager I''d put Playstations and X boxes in away dressing room. Totally distract the opposition. And I''d probably put a TV in their jammed on the racing channel knowing how much some players enjoy gambling on horse racing they''d be suitably distracted.Imagine Fergie trying to yell at his players at half time over the strains of Mario Kart and the 3.55 at Lingfield. They''d be so disorganised for second half we might catch them cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Well, we could leave the benches in the away dugout and outfit ours for Lambo et al with these rather splendid Maserati car seats.I''m sure Tilly won''t mind moving for the cause. What do you reckon? All in favour shout aye!! And then suggest where they could move our Tilly to.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
