Dave, love your positive response earlier (must admit I'm scared of
the playoffs as it seems we've scraped most results this season so
far)  and I'm worried that if we don't do it this season....?
Re your earlier rants:

> Two  other points
> 1.      This kicking it out when a player is injured malarky,

Not arf.  It's the refs job to be responsible for the safety of
players.  Let him blow if it seems one of the great big fairies that
(dis)grace our game merits attention enough to stop the game.  AND
let's have a proper, manly, drop ball on the restart.

This kicking the ball out and then passing it back is the same kind of
lily-livered chickenry!

I always imagine evacuating a seated area in an emergency to be
manifoldly more perilous than open stands.  My nephew got his skins
badly bruised when we scored and the bloke behind accidentally knocked
him into the seats in front.I always imagine evacuating a seated area

Actually, our day in the South Stand was best for the kids because
everyone stood (and was allowed to) for the entire game, so they could
stand on their seats throughout and see the whole game.  Otherwise
they miss all the best bits (when the adults suddenly stand around
them).Actually, our day in the South Stand was best for the kids

 Know how you feel.  But I feel as pessimistic that things might
change.  When I used to watch Bilbao there was a small section behind
the goals (Maybe up to about Row M) for the lads, and it was good in
there.   (As good as being at an away game).
