Why wait till 4.45pm? It's a 12.30pm kick off 😊Quote:

I might reproduce Ninian Park in my back garden for the occasion. There are some security lights that could do as floodlights, I have two original "dont move between seating and terrace areas" that can go between my upper and lower garden terrace and a shed which can double as the toilets! All I need now is a pitch and a turnstile for the side entrance. And a "beware of pickpockets" sign. Next door but two is a despatcher for WMP, so maybe he could lend a few "control and containment" officers for added realism. The school round the corner is no longer bussing students in so maybe borrow a few and put some Edwards signs on the side and get them to park along the road (other coach companies are available). You may detect an element of boredom creeping in here.
We're all getting cabin fever.Quote:

Just make sure Dave Hunt doesn't turn up - there's such a thing as too much realism!Quote:

All the Championship matches were due to kick off at 12.30pm, if memory serves me correctly.Quote:

How do you plan to recreate the wafting stench of piss?Quote:

If you have a few blue balloons a couple of plastic footballs and some crappy t-shirts don't forget to lob them into other people's gardens before you turn off the lights
That should say "putrified" My green wheelie does not double as a distillery. Could be an interesting lockdown project though.Quote:

Do the players take it in good grace, or do they put their heads down and scuttle off as quickly as they possibly can, avoiding eye contact with him at all times?Quote:

I still shudder at the thought of some of the Dai-isms (and spittle) that escaped from his lips that seasonQuote:

I think he was moved back about 8 rows in the Canton to be further away from the players during warm up....I moved forward and across a few rows and ended up nearer Dai. The Ninian is looking appealing next season....if there is one. Except standing isn't an option.Quote:
