I’m tempted to dress up in fancy dress for the day and then invade the back garden at 4:45pm
We could be in the playoffs if results go our way, so maybe not our last match.

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.
Do all the games kick off at the same time?
Hopefully we will be allowed on the pitch to celebrate
There are some ancient drinks lurking at the back of my drinks cabinet that would better be injected against CV:
Icelandic Brenivin
Tunisian Bouka
Bulgarian Slivovic...homemade in a plastic bottle with cling film on the top in addition to a plastic cap. Looks rough but might give it a go if we get promoted. Indeed, the homemade stuff was used as a disinfectant, in Bulgaria, when a tic decided to make my bum crack its home.
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
Have you a lawn sprinkler? If so, you'll need to turn it on to recreate the amount of spittle that comes forth from Mr Hunt's mouth every time he get's way too excited and starts to rant. Which is roughly from the time the players start to warm up on the pitch to five or so minutes after the final whistle.
I'm not sure 'welcome' is the right word to use here. However I'm sure all the players and staff are aware he is several sandwiches short of a picnic. I've never witnessed one of his 'welcomes', thank feck. 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?
The latter. I think someone posted that he had been banned from the players car park area due to his confrontational attitude. Similarly, if he shouts at players during the warm up, those that look up look down ASAP when they see who it is. I have changed my ST seat over the years. Problem is....so does Dai Hunt.
For one season, and one season only, I sat behind Dai Hunt on the Bob Bank. No wonder the seats there were available. For the two previous seasons I had sat in the lower Grandstand with my daughter in the Family Enclosure. Then we decided to move to the Bob Bank. I still shudder at the thought of some of the Dai-isms (and spittle) that escaped from his lips that season
Small world. We must have been behind you, to your left, on the Bob Bank near Dai Hunt. The police had a word with him on more than one occasion. Then we went to standing on the Bob Bank, in line with the penalty area Canton Stand End. Dai Hunt was behind us! Unfortunately GDPR means the TO cant tell me where his ST is for the next season. 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.
