Game day...Have a Whinge

[~bedsy~]

I honestly dont get leaving before full time. The couple next to me at the broncos v knights game left at about 70 mins....and missed the best game all season. (they were bronco supporters so they prob wouldnt see it the same way) BUT they could of won and then missed something amazing...

weirdos.

Yeah I never get that at all, and yes their team could have won and they would have missed the best bit.

Okay something that annoyed me at Origin on Wednesday.

I must have been sitting in a bay with the most amount of drunks in it. Honestly every 10 minutes someone would want to come past so they could get another beer and go to the loo. Far out we started to get so annoyed by it. I don't understand people who constantly drink at games, they miss half of it. There was this very very drunk guy who honestly looked like he was going to spill beer over everyone. Dad ushered him to his aisle and we all hopped out so we wouldn't cop it all over us.

There's another whinge from me.

there would probably be more than beer on ya if you continued sitting there... :-&

And I hate it how people get to their spot in front of you, and it takes them a couple of minutes to sit down... I don't care if it's Jersey Flegg or first grade, I'm there to watch the footy and these people just block the views.

LOL. geez Aaron your a hard marker. ;-)

I don't think it's hard marking at all -- as a percentage of the entry-fee you would want to think you didn't have more than a cent or two worth of bum-viewage.

The lower grades are important to some fans, myself included. People are entitled to turn up halfway through the 1st half of Premier League, provided they get their backsides down onto the turf promptly. Some people wander around like Brown's Cows looking for a juicy bit of grass to chew on. Just sit down for goodness sake people. :roll:

Speaking of sitting down: I hope someone has mentioned already the chronic wanderers at the football. They are often young teenage girls, dressed inappropriately for a night time game of football, and seem to take less of an interest in the game -- instead perusing the crowd for friends, potential friends and enemies.

They block the view of spectators.

The new eastern stand has snookered the cruisers now.
No concourse to do laps on. #-o

I will try to get settled quicker now, (just for you Oswin).

I'm always aware of the people around me when I'm standing up, and I try to limit my trips to the bar/dunny fullstop. I restrict them to the restarts after tries, so not to annoy others in the row.
I don't think I'll be taking my hat off though during the anthem. Standing up & singing along is how I show my respect .

I think someone has. It really annoyed me also, however they weren't there for the game, they were to pick up.

It just means there are two separate runways for them to parade along now -- Northern and Southern, with an undignified walkway between them (behind the grandstand).

Mind you, for all their annoying traits, these wanderers do assist the well-being of the club with their ticket-purchasing.

When you arrive there with a couple of kids and a wife it takes a little while to get settled, not like turning up on your "Pat Malone" and plonking yourself down. Anyway I get there prior to the start of Flegg so I'm not interfering with anyones quality viewing, but I do make allowance for families when they show up.

I believe you will never please some fans. There are extremes to the annoyance:
a) Those who will allow anyone to stand in their way, and quietly hope that they move.

Middle) Those who understand that it takes time for people to sit, but reach a point after a minute or two where they begin "suggesting" that people sit down or find somewhere else.

z) Those who whinge about people blocking their view of an empty field. You can distinguish these unreasonable spectators from others by standing in front of them during Flegg half-time, or at fulltime. They carry on about not being able to see the field (in this case, an empty one).

Clearly there is a point in which requests become unreasonable.

a), middle) and z) ah? :lol:
