Ask him to bring his barby and tent to the LSV. Better ask the LSV first though. Can't remember if it was this thread or another that someone said about the queues for the bars in the ground. Well I think it was because there weren,t as many staff as usual and it needs a steward just to say use all the three serving points at each bar. Thats why the queues were so long.

Marquee on the corner between north and west, on the paved area not the grass, keep the north gates open for toilets and bars, do an offer on beer, have plenty staff on, separate stall sell pop for the kids.

Is that a big enough space without intruding in to the road for the disabled parking spaces etc as I'm sure the LSV would look at scenarios like that?

I haven't measured it Matt but its quite a large area, it's the depth of both stands plus the footpaths behind/in front. Plus if the concourse is still open in the North we'd have an over spill area.

Not a chance in hell of you getting something like that ' OK d ' at the LSV

large space where they make the coaches park.

Unfortunately your probably right

=#FFFFFFWe didn't last time I asked



Or the grassed area behind Harriers towards the houses, but anything away from the stadium, and services become an additional issue.

I was actually considering the American activity of ' Tailgating ' at a match later in the season , ie taking along my disposable ' Barbie ' ( not the blow up kind before anybody starts

) , and having some food and a few cans in the car park pre or post match , fairly sure mr Toon would have an apoplectic fit at the prospect

Good idea.

Which bit , the disposable Barbie , or Simon having a fit ?

The Barbie!

Which one ?

I don't know about that, Simon looks like the kind of bloke who would be up for a hot dog or two??

Doesn't really fit with the LSV's European Healthy Stadia status being awarded earlier this year though?!

It'll be reet, just ask if they want lettuce and tomato... hey presto... balanced meal haha

Not much evidence of a Healthy Stadia when looking at the concourse menu!

We don't want them to get rid of the chicken balti pies do we Matt.

Whoever gave that award obviously didnt pay much attention to the hot 'dog' they sell on a yard long stick of bread thats harder than a cricket bat. And to think they take bottle tops off you. It's akin to selling a housebrick.

At least Trading Standards wont need to get involved becuase I do actually think it is made from dog. Or some part of one. Its @r5eho1e and brain possibly, because it sure as hell hasn't seen any meat.

Don't hold back Alexs Dad.

Eyeholes, Earhoes and ar$eholes.

Thoroughly enjoyed Fridays game, we played well considering the heat. I thought I had put the kibosh on em with the score at HT, even though we've been second half sensations this season, I was worried that this was the game to end the run. Great win in the end...ok didn't play as well as we have, but well worth the admission fee

I haven't visited since the Salford friendly...major surgery and cash strapped. To see the crowd, feel the atmos, and the bonus of sunshine, made getting from Hudds via bank holiday public transport, well worth the effort...oh and the result was sweet



Roll on the next time I can make it

Whats an 'Earhoe' - is it used to cultivate vegetables in your ears?

I believe it's pronounced "ear-ow", Henry.

Was gonna say exactly the same thing Steve. Would probably have to establish up front that it's not breaking any laws or treading on any toes but it'd be great to do for an away game as well.

Well having been brought up on the posh side of Leigh

(no [unot[/u next-door to Frank - I said the posh side) I had no idea

Sod off to Spain you part timer.

Enjoy lad.
