Flag Bearers, Seriously?

[Northyorksblade]

I think Tufty is being crafty, using Semaphore to get signals to the Players .............

It's not working

 

[Bartleby]

What is that all about? I thought Jim Phipps had taken all the americanised Shite with him.

Noticed a couple of times that ball boys were none existent, probably because they were so excited about waving a big daft flag

noticed that as well about ball boys. About 6 were sat in the seats under the Bramall Lane stand ( need a couple there to get the ball out from under the seats but 6?) and our GK having to retreive the ball from right over by the stands, crazy.

Need to utilise the flags, against Southend wave them from behind the goal, give the lads a clue where the net is.

Or better still drape them over the crossbar behind Longy until they touch the floor. It's our best chance of keeping a clean sheet

 

[shrubbery]

I'm sorry but the flags were fucking embarrassing.

I mean, seriously, what kind of twat actually sanctioned something like that?

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Yeah its not needed, but a good way to make 19k fans cringe though...

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Another fucking embarrassment from the club in the long line of them over the last 6 years, and an Americanism as well.

The South Stand beer queue was shocking today - the staff their need a rocket up their arses like the players, seems speed is lacking all over the club.

 

[grafikhaus]

Never mind pies , match organisation, PA system (deafening int family stand) I'd settle for a shit fest behind the scenes if they got the bit on the pitch right.

You're being too critical! I don't know what happened on the pitch as I missed it, but the whole crowd were clapping in appreciation. Think it was the 71st minute...

My highlight of the day was GS's grand pre-game announcement:

"As always, it is my honour to introduce to you...the countdown to kickoff!"

Sponsored by Richard Whiteley?

 

[COME BACK CHED]

My highlight of the day was GS's grand pre-game announcement:

.

On the ball-boys/flag-bearers, a special mention to the lad on the South Stand side level with the 18 yard box, whose sense of urgency to move the ball quickly and with purpose was sadly not replicated by the team.

I thought based on the first part of that sentence that we were going to get a particularly special announcement.

That Ball Boy , only looked about 10 but was easily man of the match .

If we are beasting the division by the end of November, I'll happily have the flags. Otherwise, what a horribly cliched waste of time, money and, er, creativity.

As no-one's mentioned them yet (?) the photo-boards of players on the South Stand concourse, however, get a big thumbs up. Had plenty opportunity to look closely at them on my way back to Aisle D, while walking back to my seat having failed to get a pint at HT.

I saw exactly that. There was 4 sat on BL end, we were losing 1-0 and George Long had to get the ball from the corner flag.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Getting the tit on over flag bearers when we have George in the net, aka Joe hart

 

[sheffielder]

If you managed to have an issue with flag bearers then you need to have a chat with yourself. I was concerned about more important issues.

Never mind the bobbins on the pitch, did the big flag on the Kop get a run out yesterday?? Or did I miss it?

I knew there must have been something happen yesterday to put me in such a foul mood last night.

Didn't see it

Sort it out Wilder!! I'll give it ten games and if we are not bedecked with flags then I'm a-flouncing.

 

[Ecco1889]

And the Sunday league felt tip/crayon match posters appearing again on the corner of John St/ Shoreham to make us look a little more tatty.

hey,it took me ages to colour them in

 

[HighfieldBlade]

And that massive Hualing advertising board on the front of the South Stand looks so out of place. I realise they're a new sponsor and everything, but no thought seems to have gone into its design, it looks like someone just slapped it on, it looks so cheap and nasty.

It's the fans fault then...

Its Chinese, wot did you expect

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Thing is though, I think the number of people taking up the offer was far fewer than they expected

Will find out next time I see someone with the answer.

Well I don't recall hearing anything about it!

 

[Small Mendonca]

I hate it more that the turnstiles let you in when you put your ticket under the scanner.

I'm going tonight. Is there anywhere in the ground I might be able to get a drink at half time (and have 5 mins to drink it) without missing any of the game? Bramall Lane corner perhaps?

 

[Leonardo Green]

At least do it properly

Did we get our flags out of a cereal box?

 

[The Crab]

Catering franchisee decision then?

Nothing's changed then on John Street. I remember ordering a chip butty for my son, they took the money and simply gave me a tray of chips straight away. I asked where the bread cake was and the assistant calmly said they're still frozen. Why didn't you say so then you daft cow?

Thry're probably the ones that failed the McDonalds interviews (the staff not the breadcakes).

But sponsorship has gone to far, I went for a dump and when I pulled on the bog role a voice said thank you for using toilet paper sponsored by the Pukka pie company

So, the toilet roll was probably tastier than the actual pie

 

[Blade56]

Yes after it was used

Im going back to the old ways and just going to bring my own in, cheaper, better and no queues. Fuck Compass
