This should interest Thornsy...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Whilst browsing various Non-League websites (I'm a sad [****!!****], really!) I stumbled upon this - a neutral's match report of our 0-3 home defeat against Aldershot last season.

 

It's the opening two paragraphs I'm quoting, and I really hate to open old wounds but...

The main source of excitement at Clarence Park related not so much to the match itself but to the extraordinary sight of smartly turned out Stewards in gleaming fluorescent jackets barking into sophisticated “walkie talkie” mouthpieces. Apparently they are the same company that Luton Town up the road use. This enhanced security came as a result of an unsavoury incident at the recent away match at Hendon where a Saints fan hurled a beer can onto the pitch in the general direction of the referee who had just sent off a second St Albans player in controversial circumstances.

 

 

 

Lamentable behaviour indeed and, as new Chairman John Gibson and saviour of the club from its dire financial crisis made clear in his programme notes, such behaviour will not be tolerated. Hence, the presence of Stewards and indeed a complete ban on the drinking of alcohol on the terraces. There were dark mutterings about supporters needing stiff drinks to dull the pain of watching City’s current up and under style of football! Such hooliganism is not to be condoned but such stewarding in my opinion is a bit over the top.

It's the word "hooliganism" that I thought would appeal to you, Thornsy.

Zealster, what is it that you actually do?

Pretty much the same as everyone else on this message board I guess. Come to work, read The Sun, a sneaky drop of brandy in the morning coffee, and have a look to see what everyone's up to on the SACFC General Forum.

 

Off down the pub at lunch, then back here for more General Forum frolics. Then go home via the Off Licence.

Likewise, except I can't always be bothered to go to the pub.
