Where did they come from? :)

Ingenious idea, I have to say; small enough to fit a load of them in your pocket so easy to smuggle in. A lot more impact than the banners due to the way they bobbled around the crowds.

I loved the way that there were loads of kids with them at half-time, including a pair joyously playing keepy-uppies with them in the concourse: what are security gonna do, take a balloon off a small child and make them cry?


And to the fans who burst them, including the grumpy, ugly bastard sat in the row behind me in B21: :jerkit:

let's have them available all around the city,
rumour has it that TF was given one,
only to realise what it said, then he stopped, a rush of exhaled breath caused hiccups,
& the only cure being D.R.M. (digital rectal massage),
who administered this ?
answers on a postcard please to;

We've had songs and banners before but i saw the balloons sayin sisu out after 30 mins and i thought that was top class (especially if there were 500) so who ever had the idea fair play and i salute you !!!!

Sounds about right.Clueless.Does new owners = new stewards
 
from where i was in block 15, in the 2nd half it looked as though about 4 men were chucked out for having balloons. they were sat in the top tier and dropping them into the directors area. they were still blowing some up when being escorted out, lol.

sisu out

I had a row with one of them outside before kick-off. It was indirectly prompted by a row with a programme "seller", so I'll tell you that for background.

Part One

We didn't see any of our usual programme vendor's today, despite arriving at exactly the same time as we usually do. If you walk around anti-clockwise from Carpark C, there's a little office (before you get to the brick stairs) that claims to be for programme selling. So we tried there.

Bloke: "We aint got any"
Us: "Why not?"
Bloke" We've sold out".
Me: "Really? How is that possible? We always get here at this time, and there's always plenty. How have we sold out?"
Bloke: "(smiling) It's a massive crowd, we sold out ages ago".
Me: "No it isn't, it's a meaningless game for us.."
Bloke: (shrugs) "We've sold out".
Me: "Is this office where the stock for all the vendors is distributed from?"
Bloke: "Yes".
Me: "So did you receive the same amount of stock today as you usually do?"
Bloke: "Yes".
Me: "So the stock level of programmes ordered hasn't been reduced due to administration?"
Bloke: "No, we got exactly the same amount as we always do".
Me (incredulous): "You're lying! There's no way that you can have sold out an hour earlier today than any other game if you had the same amount of stock-they're normally still selling them at half-time!"
Bloke: (lots of hand-waving) "I'm telling you, we got the same level of stock, it's a big game, we've sold out!".

I gave up at this point.

Part Two

Now this office is between the big slope with the concreted off lane on the way to the turnstiles; it's quite a walk back to go around, so we naturally walked up the stone steps. The top of them is always cordoned off by metal barriers at the top, but they can be opened by hand, they aren't locked. Well sod it if we were going to walk all the way around, those steps were obviously intended to be used originally, so we walked up them....

Bloke (shouting from his office): "Oi, you can't go that way!"
Me: "Why not?" (carries on walking).
Bloke (running out of his office): "I said you can't go that way!"
Me: "Fuck off mate, why not? That bloke's using them (pointing at my mate, pretending I don't know him :)) ...they're steps, get over it".


Already walking up these Steps You Can't Use is an Orange Goon...

Bloke (to Goon): "Eh, tell him will you, he can't go that way!"
Goon: "...."..shrugs, looks disinterested. Then as I walk up the stairs, decides to pipe up with the mantra "Eh, you can't go that way!"
Me: "Oh, don't be silly, I'm not walking all the way back there, I'm using these steps, and anyway, you're using them!".
Goon: "They're cordoned off for a reason".
Me: "Are they? What's the reason, then?"
Goon: (pauses...I love the way you can actually hear these fucker's cogs going around!): "...."
Me: "You don't know! Typical..."
Goon: "Arsehole.."
Me: "What was that?"
Goon: "You heard".
Me: "What right do you have to call one of the paying supporters of this club an arsehole? We pay your wages!"
Goon: "Yeah, you're an arsehole".
Me: "That's shocking customer service; I want your name and number".

I got his number-number 9, Response. I then started going into the turnstile, and after a delayed Response :)p) suddenly starts shouting after me as I go through..

"Yeah, allright, you can have my name, it's (something unpronounceable, began with an a...Admiral Akbar? Something like that....)."


I'll make a complaint; whoever he is employed by obviously doesn't give a crap about the supporters. As a result of the 5 minutes before entering the ground I was bloody furious for the first 20 minutes. If I was a casual supporter taking in a game, I wouldn't exactly be enamoured by the experience and probably wouldn't go back.


Oh and LOL at the idea of it being a "massive game"...they really do think that we're all idiots, don't they?

Needs a large presence in the prawn sandwich stand for the Leyton Orient game and as many balloons as we can get. Lets not lose track on how perilous our position is and although there is hopefully a silver lining with this American at the moment it is just that a silver lining,and sisu will play hardball to the bitter end without caring a shite about our club or it's supporters.

If we are now at the stage of getting thrown out for letting off balloons, should we not be contacting the football supporters federation?

The first thing any fans group should do if they get involved in the club is get certain orange goons removed from their job at the Ricoh, just hired thugs basically a number of them who would if it wasn't for cctv love to get stuck in.

Everyone should get behind the team for the last game at home.
It's going to be a very difficult summer and things need to be sorted out, but everyone should know that the most important part of any club is the supporters.

AND THEY ARE NOT HAPPY !
