Which job would you take

[shorehamview]

I'd be captain blade only so that i could walk the plank and retire the position.

To fill the void, so to speak, i would then employ a team of 25 Cheerleaders all in their mid 20's. I'd scour the globe, tinder and my phone book to get some reight talent in.

You know some lads who can dance a bit then?

 

[Gateford Blade]

I'd be the man who meets Mr Meadows in the South Stand reception

 

[Vintage Shirt]

Football shirt archives manager.

 

[Tommoblade66]

Bar Manager

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Writer of the programme notes......on our opposition......just the one opportunity around January time will do thanks

 

[PokerBlade]

Referee.

I wouldn't promise an end to bad decisions, but I guarantee there'd be less complaints from the home end.

 

[stringer]

Press - free tickets and a complimentary bar (or at least, it used to be)

Hahaha sorry?!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

I'd be Mr Meadows

Hahaha sorry?!

Guess it's not anymore then? I'm going back > 20 years here. I remember a time there were bottles of spirits left out on tables! (before the press bar was built. When the press bar was built Wards were the sponsors, unlimited amounts of free Wards made for an interesting afternoon).

You were born 20 years too late

 

[BLADES1988]

I'd be chief scout (of Pies and Pie Chefs) so I could scour this beautiful county (Except Leeds) for the finest Pies and Chefs capable of preparing them WARM and with relative haste!

It was at Wembley, in League One we were lucky to get a desk never mind spirits. Better in the Championship but still more to it than just free tickets

i was a ball boy when Ade Akinbiyi played at the lane....
i say ball boy, i had a season ticket in row Z, but i felt like i was his ball boy....

It never occurred to me that it might have stopped. We used to get:

Free entry (two tickets - we weren't important enough to be inside the press box, we were just outside on the kop side of the press box/South Stand - which suited me just fine as we could pretty much choose where we sat at the time)
Free programs
Teamsheet
Free alcohol from (IIRC) Midday until about 6pm (3pm kickoffs.. open for a similar duration for night kick offs)
and a selection of buffet food laid on
and, of course, you'd get to talk to half the players/managers at full time straight after the game

Got press box tickets for about 2 years. It was like I'd died and gone to heaven

 

[SteveBlade]

I'd be John Fleck.

Not much has changed then - just no booze and ‘buffet food’ is stretching it

I take it there's still a press bar, but you have to pay now?

No press bar either way

Crushing. I'm usually quite optimistic and like to think the world is becoming a better place, but now I realise my entire world view was built on a lie.

Bring back Mike McDonald and Adrian Heath! Who's with me? Anybody?

 

[Paulus]

I would quite fancy driving the team coach. Free transport to all away games and I'd be really ITK on here

 

[SB_90]

im delighted i havent got gary sinclair job. because i wouldve gotten sacked alot during adkins era. because of instead being positive. id joined in with abuse. If there a person in charge of scoreboard i could do that

is phase 2 there same the messages as 1 & 2 in toilet talk

 

[8lade]

Wait for it..wait for it, I'd be the bloke who changes the bulbs in the floodlights so I could be the top man at the lane.
Top
man.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Photographer.

 

[I should coco]

European Scout, I'm guessing we'd give first class travel, and 5 star accommodation to go with the £200k p.a. salary

Dib dib dib, eh?

 

[elgoog44]

I would be a Semi Successful Manager a year from Retirement get the call from them to be there new manager, then Buy every down and out big money player I could find, play them all out of position calling it some weird and wonderful new management technique and watch as they plummet I get the sack and compo which is a nice wedge for retirement and that greasy lot relegated and with a bloated squad of chumps.

The OP was 'If you could have any job apart from Manager or Player at the lane which would you have?'

'Reading helper' - for those Blades too excited to read more than the first few words. We'd have a cozy little corner with read and white seats, scatter cushions and small bottles of free milk. We'd also try not to argue about whose turn it was to take the hamster home at half term.

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

I’d be that bloke who tells the stewards to go to “Phase Five”. I’d sit in the control room laughing while I got them up and down about 8 times every game for no other reason than my own amusement.

Whatever happened to Mr Meadows?

 

[elgoog44]

The OP was 'If you could have any job apart from Manager or Player at the lane which would you have?'

but I would not be manager or player at the lane

and if it has to be at the lane, then grounds keeper, just because now we have the desso it must me a fucking easy job

 

[The Crab]

I think you would get the sack straight away with that one because the game is on the Friday.

On the plus side, Crab Airlines would see that as a plus on their CV.
