Worst thing about a day a Roots Hall

[sufcintheprem]

Everyone on here seems to get a lot of a rougher time at Roots Hall than me by the looks of it.

Possibly, follow these easy steps for a good day out at Roots Hall:
--> Don't jump on the pitch. If you do feel the need to get on the stewards nerves, have friendly banter with them whilst taking the p**s. Allows you to smugly sit back down and watch their reaction (usually on the other side of the pitch).
--> Go to the toilet before you leave home or nip in to the pub just before the game. Schoolboy stuff really. If you are going to drink then consider this. If you can go without a whizz for a hundred minutes of centurions, you can do ten less for football (didn't consider half time. This'll take practice)
--> When ordering food, spend all your time looking at extended coverage of the centre circle/highlights if available. Otherwise, try to avoid all contact between your eyes and anything the other side of the counter. TOP TIP: Have exact change ready so that you can throw it in as you make your daring escape.
--> Laugh at the PA system. Half the time they don't have anything to say that you want to hear.

Follow all these top tips and the only thing that can dampen your spirits is a bad football game.

It was Cardiff, Dave. We watched the hysterically funny (bit indeed embarrassing) scenes from the South Upper ... the kids were falling over themselves in their enthusiasm to escape the oncoming Welsh onslaught, leaping like unbridled gazelle along the front of the West Stand with looks of sheer horror on their faces. Gutless ...

I agree with Mike... my memory tells me it was Cardiff - led, unexpectedly, by a woman.

Think about it, F-block, you all ran from a bird...

There's a certain je ne sais quoi about her in the flesh, though... Were I young & single, I'd definitely tuck in.

I thought it was the Swans as well. Certainly there was something like that when they came down with their thirteen game winning streak (or something) and we went 2-0 up. Clearly a bunch of annoying kids was too much and they charged, much to the annoyance/amusement of those sitting around the kids.

all the kids who never go an cheer on the other team

Definately Cardiff. 2000/01 season. They were 1-0 up with just a few seconds to go before the final whistle when Rhys Weston inexplicably lobbed over his own keeper to allow us to salvage an undeserved point. (He still talks about it today as his worst moment in his career.)

Swansea as well. They stormed the West, and i think only a handfull of older lads stood and fought with them, while all the kids ran off.
