Barn Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 So the three mentioned above were good enough to let me use their memberships to get tickets for the Fulham game on Saturday, it was the first time the family had all been together for a game for a while so we were looking forward to it, and we weren't disappointed. Our tickets weren't great, 4th row of the Shed lower, pretty central though. We got there and I've got to say I was impressed with the atmosphere, lots of old songs as well as the new, we stood for the whole game as did everyone around us, apart from one girl sat behind us but she didn't look up from her Blackberry for the whole game so that didn't matter, and we were treated to some fantastic football. There were a couple of things that went against us during the game. At half time I went for a pee, there was a bloke in there smoking but the steward caught him and told him to put it out, which he did - fair enough. But the steward also decided to throw him out - again fair enough really (though a bit harsh as he put it out when told), what upset me was the group of Chelsea "fans" singing "cheerio" to him as he was led away, I said to some bloke near me that I remember when we used to stick together, his reply "you don't come over here often any more do you?". Spoke volumes. Then in the second half the stewards moved in and told us all to sit down, a few did, and we conscious of being on someone elses memberships did, but we couldn't see so we stood up again - albeit with a chant of "Stand up if you love Chelsea", the stewards seemed intent on picking on one person though and the poor bloke after wrestling with about 6 of them was finally dragged from the ground - he wouldn't have been able to see if he'd sat down. The fans around us were giving the stewards a fair bit of stick because there was no reason for him to be picked out, but they weren't going to listen. Anyway after the game we headed back to the Imperial then onto a bar at Earls Court that I can't remember the name of. Avery good day and night was had by all for the most part, so thanks again to those that leant us the memberships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Glad it all panned out in the end Barn. Booted out for having a snout in the toilet - that is just plain ridiculous - give a normal punter a jacket with steward written on it and watch them turn from Bob to Knob! if you need it again in future just shout and I will see if it is possible.
