[cite]Posted By: WhenIwasLittleBoy[/cite]Suzi its all about opinions, it is not moaning, why is it when someone has an issue to raise about the club its seen as moaning
I think saying a kid advising people to mind their language being "annoying" and "embarrassing" is moaning.
Asking for an announcement to be possibly moved to another suitable time is constructive, voiceing an opinion and not moaning. there is a difference.
I'm a smoker and do sit in the East Stand. I had an argument with 4 stewards on the first match of the season that it was enforced. Luckily we had a spare ticket so could nip out before the match and then pop back in after I'd had my fix. It actually stopped me from going to a cup game in defiance which was a little dumb but was annoyed at the time.
They won't allow you to leave the ground for a cigarette and return through the gates or has this changed? To be honest they must be losing a fair bit of money inside the ground before the game from the smokers like me who used to arrive early and have a beer with my Dad. We go elsewhere before the game now and I leave it to the very last minute before taking my seat.
Before anyone decides to tell me how long the match lasts and could I not surely wait and for getting defensive. I get very caught up in the match and do get behind the team but sometimes its quite stressful and for a heavy smoker like me it would be highly appreciated if there some kind of reasonable option such as barring an area off for me and my fellow lepers. Unfortunately it’s unfair to the smokers in the other stands who wouldn’t have that option.
Can we also have pre poured pints again in the East Stand. Even with the gates falling its still a nightmare to get a beer at half time and not either go out earlier or miss the beginning of the 2nd half.
no, you're not allowed out the gates red fraggle. but i was just saying if you did go outside the gates you could have a fag right there standing next to the stewards and you would be nearer the staff then if you were inside over in a sectioned off area. You woudlnt be allowed back in again mind you.
imagine the clamour for tickets in the east stand if they did allow this?
get some "Hole in the wall" style half time entertainment so there is a good buzz when the second half starts hate it when there is a damp squibb at the whistle.
Pleae in all seriousness there is a hole in roof in the nth upper get it fixed as people are getting wet and it aint on if we are that skint then there must be aroofer on here who would do it
Why can you buy a Wimpey in the East Stand and not the West- I've missed it since swapping my seat. Also why has the Chiken Tikka Slice suddenly been replaced by a Curry 'of unknown taste' pie and why doesn't the score board indicate when players have scored two or more goals by changing the colour of the ball next to their name?

I can't remember which ground it was last season we went to i think it was coventry but they let those that wanted to outside for a fag..common sense

I can just see the carnage now of the announcement 'bring on the wall', as families flee for their lives and yoof quickly put on their burberry hats and form a pincer movement !!
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]Half time entertainment should be a man ostentatiously smoking a fag in the centre circle while eating a hot meat pie and supping a pint of real ale.
This will get just about everyone worked up good and proper for the 2nd half.
How do you ostentatiously smoke a fag? Especially when both hands are used up with the pie and pint. Of course if the guy had three arms, now that would be enterntainment. You might even get rolf harris to write a song about it.
so the area at the south east corner curb-it mentioned, is no smoking because it's a workplace, yet the other side of the gates it's alright to smoke yet is the workplace of the aftermatch street cleaners?
i am not a smoker but there must be a way around this.
thinking about it though, the stewards in the north (exit gates) wouldn't even let my other half walk the young kid we take, to his mother, who had come to collect him after he felt ill.
correction; they would let her out but told her she wouldn't be let back in. all this negotiation taking place whilst a dozen or so people smoking away at the 1st landing, not 20 yards away.

Well obviously he would have arm chair and occasional table to rest his pint and pie on while blowing smoke rings.

Big close ups on the screen. It could work.
I agree it could, I think it could all rest on the soundtrack accompanying it.
Why not give Pards the job so we could castigate him for the position we are in as well whilst he eats a pie and smokes his fag and supps his pint. It could give him time to reflect on what went wrong!!!!!
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]so we're basically giving Dave Allen a pie ?
Is he available?

Thanks Curb_It raise my hopes and dash em down! (winky thing)
Tis a very good point. If the mad rush of fans buying tickets for the East happened it would take me even longer to get a beer!
Could I also suggest that we have a disabled section in the East too. With the gentle slope surely it must be more accessible than the West. I know its higher up and a slightly less of a good view for visually impaired disabled fans. I know the club only have a limited number of seats but wouldn't this further the work within the community and accommodate some of our less able supporters especially the older supporter. Not me I'm referring to but just a thought.
