You didn't get as piddled then?

I must have had all McLaren Field's drunks quota around me this year. The one two rows in front was my favourite. Before the game he'd picked a fight with his brother, who was having none, then had a row with his Dad, then his Dad (just as trollied) left before kick off. Then said drunken chav cried for a bit. Then he spent the rest of the game leaning over the heads of three young kids in front of him to hurl some pretty poor language (even by RL ground standards) at various opposition fans, players, the ref and so on. He was a good 'un. Every so often somebody asked him to shut up. Invariably he did fora minute or two. until the ale (which he clearly couldn't handle) got the better of him and he started again.

My next favourite was the slightly older "gent" with the mohawk haircut, whose use of the "c" word was at about the rate of every other "sentence" and who seemed to think that everyone else around him wanted to be lurched or staggered into throughout the game. Nobody said anything to him, because, frankly, he was a bit scary. People shouldn't have to say anything though should they? He was especially ace as he tried to pick a fight with somebody in front of him for standing up at the start of the match, then stood up and generally swayed around for virtually the entire match.

There were loads of over-excited, funny drunks around. I don't mind them, I do mind people who can't behave like an approximation of a human being when they're p!ssed.

There, that's off my chest. Feel better now.

I was driving as I always do. I'd much rather watch a match sober and remember it

Sat in Seat 52 with my lucky and treasured Graham Murray 1999 Silk Cut Challenge Cup Track Top which was won in a raffle at a Sportmans Dinner Elland Road Banquet Suite.

Was upstairs in Sam Platts (pub with the big tent) when a drunk Rhinos fan decided to throw a full pint of beer at a group of Rhinos fans sat just in front of him. Then it kicked off and the Rhinos fans who were s down got hold of the lad and they all poured thre beer on him.

In the East Stand toilets at half time it kicked off too!

a few drunks were ejected out of E235 as well , and there seemed to be a constant attendance of officials/police around E135 as 2 groups of Leeds fans seemed to enjoy arguing amongst themselves.

E235 row 6 was all very pleasant.

I wondered what was going on.

I spotted Loz drinking a can of Fosters at 9.15am in Yeadon, shocking behaviour!

Thats shocking he should be drinking proper beer not that rubbish

I took this picture of Frosties' empties before he got into the ground...

Thats deffo his, saw him drop it & everything!!

.....and here he is 10 minutes later

He claims to have had more than that but I can confirm that that isn't the case.

Bwahahahahahahahaha

you're not, so STFU!

the only trouble i was lucky enough to see, was Ben westwood being dragged out of the havana bar in wakefield at 2 in the morning by a nob of a doorman for doing nowt wrong!! then his mates took offence and started a little ruckus!! while Ben was out the door!! anyone else think doormen are knobs!!

Seat 46! Spotted the top as you returned to your seat and a rather splendid one it is!
Sat in that section before, superb spot.

There were a bunch of Barrow (who ?) fans in the middle of the Leeds end that thought it might be clever to start winding up the supporters in that end, especially when Saints scored.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but I've been to the last 11 cup finals on the bounce and apart from the ones when Leeds are playing, I've been there as a neutral. Whilst I didn't spent the whole 80 minutes sat on my hands, nor did I jump up & down goading those fans around me trying to provoke trouble.

Naturally, these events were less-than-well-received by some of the fans around them and frankly, Barrow fans on a big day out should know better.

Have you ever been to Barrow ?

Are you surprised that they are not yet socialised ?

The only surprise is that the towns social services gave them all chitty's to leave for the day.

After their day out to a place where they have electricity (even if that's Warrington), I guess they must have been feeling all cosmopolitan by being let out the following week as well.

Sound much like the Halifax fans we had the pleasure to sit near at Murrayfield. Back and forth to the bar, constant griping, moaning whinging and a torrent of abuse aimed at Ieysten Harris as he walked past. How he didnt punch them out and just turned the other cheek i'll never know.

Sorry, we dont get out much in Halifax.

I have a few friends in Halifax and they always out!
