Bula Bairn Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 4 hours ago, Hughsie said: Fair enough. From a “growing the game” perspective it’s the sort of thing that would put me off bringing my wee ones to a game. I wouldn’t take them to a men’s game yet, but on a nice Sunday afternoon would be willing to try them out at a women’s game if they could get a seat etc. They get the bug, start asking to go, might translate into more fans for both teams. Seems a bit short sighted. I took my young daughter to a few games last season and the other advantage of playing at the stadium was being able to have a kick about on the main pitch at half-time and full-time! (kids took their own footballs) Think there was about 50 there on average and it was donation on entry. If the players prefer the community pitch then fair enough, I'd still recommend going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubes Was there when the famous Big Bar 1970 odd John Waynesk bar room brawl took place ending with a shotgun being fired into the ceiing and mass arrests. One of the funniest and bizarre things I ever saw it had everything. Hay baling punches, chairs over peoples backs, folk getting thrown over tables of drinks, pool cues used a javelins and pool balls used as ballistics. Understandably, was put off ever going back.

Anybody else on the forum remember that? Iv been in a couple of pubs where a proper, full scale eruption happened. Seen loads of pub brawls over the years but only two that were like that. It's equal parts hilarious and Terrifying. One of them in particular it was all my mates that were involved and me and another boy were standing when it all kicked off, shit flying everywhere, and I can remember us both looking around to see where we should get involved, but everyone was winning their individual battles... So we ended up standing there laughing at it all. Pure bedlam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
