Soft mollycoddled kids of today..fair dinkum..a SIGN n front of you for a cpl of minutes after a game. What is the footy supporting world coming to??
Its just as well that a few of you werent supporting the Saints in the days when you..
* GOT WET if it rained..and it did most weeks
* If you stood behind the goals, you risked a footy in the head during warm up...no nets. You also got to take "spekkies" once in a while, which gave you massive bragging rights at school on Monday
* If you were in the CS, you walked around the boundary at 1/2 time with a huge blanket as a fund-raiser, risking losing an eye from a stray coin as it flew over the fence. Part of this walk included being right in front of the opposition CS
* Young fellas scurried under your feet (in the wet!) towards the end of a game to collect aluminium beer cans
* Dont worry about a flag at games end, who could forget the unforgettable feeling of those golf umbrellas being collapsed around you, sending a litre of water down the back of your neck. THey could also obscure a game..thats right the actual GAME while its in progress ...better than any flag or sign
...and I havent even touched on the toilets!!
I reckon that wristband that Carlton are handing around could well be leant to a few on here
HARDEN UP PEOPLE ITS NOT THE FREAKING OPERA!!!!!!!
Oh..what DOES annoy me are people who insist on pushing past me to their seat while there is a contest on!!!! Surely you can wait in the aisle or at your seat til a ball up or stop play? Let me tell you, in the MCC Members during the cricket its a huge unwritten rule to only move along rows at the end of an over
Surely your thirst, hunger or bladder can wait til the ball goes out of bounds or the umpire bounces it??
Due warning to anyone who tries it on Level 3 Aisle 35 row F..myself and my erstwile seating companions are just itching to tip someone down 6 rows and over the edge
