Just started...

[Canterbury Blade]

To queue for my half time pint and pie...

With the large crowd expected and the usual 2.5 disinterested teenagers to serve a whole stand of thirsty Xmas Blades I thought I'd have an early night yesterday and start my queue early...

I just hope the 'catering' Dept has realised that a few extra staff, some training and an efficient system might just be needed today!

We will get 4 today (goals not pies) and the walk home will be filled with tales of daring do, a long time since a Boxing Day started this optimistically. Happy Christmas Chris and thanks!

If we do get 4 today, will it forever be known as the Boxing Day massacre?

My daughter and her boyfriend are students who work part time for Compass, the catering company. Staffing levels were sorted a few weeks ago.
They get a text; "Can you work xx/xx/16" and they text back "whatever".

There will almost certainly not be enough staff/pies/beer but please don't shout at the small 21 year old with long curly hair, trying to do her best to feed the great unwashed.

No. Because Blades aren't a bunch of 8 year olds, although there are some 8 year olds and younger and even they have more sense than that.

Some will be too busy ripping down the air con while others piss down the back of legs of those in front. Although it will more likely be backs and heads with all seater stadium. Another reason to take the seats out perhaps? Or wear a coat with a hood.

In a nutshell no.

Sounds like something your mum would say.

..and a vest

....tuck your shirt in

......tie those laces or you'll break your neck

........wash those lugholes, you could grow potatoes in there


I'm here all week

In the late 70's and early 80's it was wise to go to the match with either no hood or your hood up at all times. Parts of the Kop weren't good places for young folk to stand unless you wanted yellow rain in your hood. I avoided the honour, some were less fortunate.

come the end of the season I hope it will be seen as "just another day at the office"

Avoided the pee but once had a banger (firework not sausage) placed in my hood, scared me shitless and ruined my coat! Mother was not best pleased.
