Title: trivial things that annoy you at The County Ground.
Post by: The Grim Reaper on Friday, May 16, 2014, 18:26:37
Attended the kiddies football finals at The County Ground last weekend and noticed a load of scaffolding around the scoreboard. Is it finally being replaced or has Jed snuck in determined to get one of his boards back up?

 Other pet hates of mine include the shit PA system,  the ocd in me that gets wound up because not all the floodlights work and the fact the lower concourse of the Arkells does not run the entire length.
Yes I'm bored.

Not being able to stand.
People getting up and down every 5 fucking minutes for a piss / coffee / burger / wank / fuck all. These wankers invariably get a piss on if you tell them to sit the fuck down.
People who tell you that you are sitting in their seats - despite having the same seats for years
Stupid cunts sat nearby

Especially the ones in the DRS. They're like bloody sheep. One from up the back makes a move and a whole shit-load of others follow suit. Ridiculous!

Went on Stratton Bank for the opening season game against Sheffield Wednesday as had a mate who was a Wednesday fan. This was a few years back. Can honestly say I thought I was going to pass out it was so hot.

Didn't know that. I smoke but can usually go for a half without, the whole 2 hours is a bit of a bind. Might start going a bit more now. I know I should give up but cheers anyway.

Towards the end of the season, I'm sure the original chap was back as Rockin Robin.  He sits a few rows in front of us and was back to the old routine of coming to his seat at around 3.10pm looking red faced and hot.  Not sure whether he was just filling in for the new chap or he's jacked it in already?

The annoucer doesn't announce, he shouts.  Does my head in.
