Dozey ball boys

Mon Nov 22, 2010 8:13 pm

A minor gripe but one thing that annoys me is the lack of urgency with the ball boys when we are behind. A few times on Saturday we started to exert some pressure but when the ball went out for throwing or corner it took ages for it to be retrieved which slowed down the momentum.

Quite a few other grounds use a rolling ball policy which helps keeps the game flowing, maybe someone at the club could look at adopting this.

Completely agree, when I went to the reading game I was in utter shock by the difference of their ball boys to ours. They were always looking to give the ball as quick as possible.

Perhaps every ball boy sationed should have a ball situated with them?
