Title: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Chris_Maidstone_STFC on Monday, June 15, 2009, 15:26:07 Have you ever noticed that on matchdays, at half time, you get a group of people with garden forks pointlessly bashing the pitch every few yards. What are they actually for...?
:eatkf: (he has a fork...) Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: reeves4england on Monday, June 15, 2009, 15:34:36 Ask Triseros.

Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Spy on Monday, June 15, 2009, 15:39:23 They fix the bits that have been scuffed up to try to limit damage to the pitch.

Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: swindonbob on Monday, June 15, 2009, 16:32:45 Scott mills has a lot to answer for, the massive gaylord. Scott Mills makes me cringe. I can't stand the fake humour Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: 4D on Monday, June 15, 2009, 19:11:21 Anyone remember the Moonraker at Wembley waving his pitchfork about?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: leefer on Monday, June 15, 2009, 19:15:56 Anyone remember the Moonraker at Wembley waving his pitchfork about? Yeah...that was Ray Howell....Davids dad,was speaking to him at the golf a few weeks back,nice bloke. Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: 4D on Monday, June 15, 2009, 19:18:43 I can't remember if it was at the Sunderland game or the Leicester one; maybe it was both?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: leefer on Monday, June 15, 2009, 19:27:26 Think it was Sunderland.
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: 4D on Monday, June 15, 2009, 19:31:16 And Dunny off of my school does it too!! think he gets a free burger as payment! I didn't know you spoke Aussie slang JFW. Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: @MacPhlea on Monday, June 15, 2009, 21:18:10 And Dunny off of my school does it too!! think he gets a free burger as payment! We don't even get that any more - all for the love of the club... however, any good gossip about Dunny would be gratefully received Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: pauld on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 08:04:45 Surely they're called "playing surface engineers" these days?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 08:11:27 Technicians Paul, Playing Surface Technicians... you need a qualification to be a Playing Surface Engineer...
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Arch Stanton on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 08:11:42 Saw one guy last season actually break his fork whilst tending to the pitch at halftime.
He obviously put too much weight on it and it snapped in a real comedy manner....almost causing the poor fella to headbutt the ground. Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: grubby on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 08:28:11 That was funny. Shame he didn't because he's a Leeds fan too!!!
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 09:34:01 I think this is what's called a three-pronged attack.
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 09:37:34 Or is that comment too s-trident ?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Arch Stanton on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 09:38:39 That was funny. Shame he didn't because he's a Leeds fan too!!! ....and there was me thinking I was the only one who saw it! Who needs the Robinettes when you can have men breaking forks. And I'm sure you can find a pun hidden somewhere in that statement Neville, cos it does sound kinda odd. Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: grubby on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 09:53:50 I only saw it because I was stood next to him.
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 11:45:36 sorry I dont think I have any gossip about Dunny - he was very well behaved at school
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:09:12 Did he ever shut up at school?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Arch Stanton on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:47:39 I only saw it because I was stood next to him. ahhh, so perhaps me and my mate were the only people in the stands that saw it..... it was a great bit of entertainment.Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:58:06 That was funny. Shame he didn't because he's a Leeds fan too!!! I believe I know this guy, as I used to work with him. If only I had it videotaped !!! Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: grubby on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 12:59:05 Dave Light.....
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 14:03:45 Get it right.... Dave 'The Comedy' Light... A comedian with a darker sense of humour than Jack Dee... A laugh that sounds like Mutley... and an incredibly poor taste in women...

A laugh that sounds like Mutley... and an incredibly poor taste in women... That's the guy. He could eat for England !!! Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: grubby on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 14:36:09 Where did you work with him?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 14:37:22 That's the guy. He could eat for England !!! Let me guess, it was the incredibly poor taste in women that clinched it for you ;) Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 14:42:18 Where did you work with him? At BCA, where I am now. He left us for the second time about 2 years ago to work 'Up North' !! Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days...

Post by: axs on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 15:51:01 What's he doing on our pitch if he's a leeds fan?
Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 15:58:46 Anyone remember the Moonraker at Wembley waving his pitchfork about? Presumably it was a rake not a pitchfork, otherwise we'd be the Pitchforkers. Title: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 18:04:01 What's he doing on our pitch if he's a leeds fan? Mending the pitch. DuhhhhhTitle: Re: Men With Forks On Match Days... Post by: 4D on Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 20:37:36 Presumably it was a rake not a pitchfork, otherwise we'd be the Pitchforkers. Correct. It was actually a hay rake. |
