Strange sights at Football Matches

Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:32 am

What is the strangest sight you have seen at a match.

Yesterday a guy walked into the Grandstand, half way during the second half.

He was wearing a cycle helmet and carrying a hoover which he had obviously just bought as it was still in its box.

Stayed for about 20 minutes, hat remaining firmly on head, showed no emotion when Whitts got the winner and then left early.

Can you beat that?

Went up to the Racecourse in Wrexham to watch the Spain game. Two supporters sat next to us in the grandstand ànd slept all the way through the match..even through when Mark Hughes's goal!

Saw something strange on Tuesday night at Barnsley.

Normally a player being stretchered off the pitch is given a polite and sympathetic round of applause by both sets of fans.

However, as the Barnsley fans were convinced that Sol Bamba was swinging the lead to avoid a second yellow and thus a red, they booed him from the moment he got lifted onto the stretcher until he disappeared down the tunnel!

Didn't help that he was able to applaud the City fans as he went past us!

;) ;)

I remember being at Wigan years ago (their old ground) and being surrounded by the local hooligans as used to happen in those days. The usual chants and threats were hurled our way and the mood got worse when we scored a goal.

This big fat guy who looked like he weighed 28 stone and had a bald head then walked in front of us and started wagging his finger at us and chanting "your going to get what Stockport County got" quick as a flash someone replied "yea 3 points"

Your right it was a Dyson DC41 mk2. By law he is obliged to wear a bike helmet and ballistic goggles for PPE when operating such a fine vacuum. Hope this clears things up.

in a pre season friendly a couple of years ago, think it was Bilbao - a Malaysian guy who obviously fancied himself as a bit of a player tried to head the ball while still sat in his seat when it went out of play and missed. His glasses got smashed into his face and he fell over the wall at the end of the Grandstand and Family Stand. Eventually he got carried out on a stretcher with his head all bandaged up and his broken glasses were still on and was waving and bowing to everyone - even the city players down that end of the pitch were laughing at him :lol: :lol: :lol:
