One thing you've never done at a football match

I came out of the bar in the North end if the West just after half time at a match v the knobbers and the ball was 5yds infront of me. Like a leaping salmon I duly headed it better than Nelson or Mark McGregor ever did, and received a resounding cheer and clap from the Pool fans nearby.
The game ended 0 -0 and as dull as it was, my header made the knobbers official website match report with something along the lines of "he celebrated like his header had just won the world cup ' 🤣

At Brighton away and Pool hanging on 2-1 up late in the game at the Goldstone the ball came in to the away end for a Brighton corner. I caught it and promptly ran up and down the terrace steps with the ball for a prolonged ammount of time, whilst clapped and cheered on by the travelling Pool fans.
Those were the days of 1 ball games and the ref got so fed up with waiting that he blew for full time, securing a 2-1 Pool win.
Rick Holden referenced this in his autobiography as one of the funniest things he had seen at a natch.

There's 1 common factor in both of these scenarios, an over exuberant quaffing of alcohol on my part.... Kids remember it's not clever and it's not smart😇

At least you got as near to scoring as either team did. 😜
 
Never took my niece again. She used the toilet in the South Paddock and decided Bloomfield Rd was not to be visited again.

Haha.. boring ending. Told him he better throw it back ... I wasn't wanting to tell my wife I took him to a football match and he got escorted out.

I've NEVER left early . Partly because I'm a tightwad and want my money's worth ... Or at least the whole 90 whatsoever minutes worth of mental cruelty and torment that I've paid for .

Mostly though , because as we all know , amazing stuff often happens as the clock ticks it's last few tocks.
So ... One thing YOU'VE never done at a football match 🙂

Lobbed anything at anyone like some cocks seem to think it's clever to do.

I headed it back in the west once. Was one of the proudest moments of my life. And I got a cheer.

I’ve always wanted to try to do that but sadly I’m on about row 7 so most of the balls go sailing well above me, plus I’d probably miss head it & shatter someone’s specs. I’d stand a better chance behind either of the goals if this season’s shooting is anything to go by.
 
Applauded substitutes for jogging down the touchline and having a stretch.
Why bother? They haven't done anything yet.

Never left early and never touched the match ball.

Even in a sparse West Paddock the ball never came my way.

I haven't touched the ball for years but I kicked it back into play at a reserve game against Wigan at Springfield Park. I think that's my only time. I came very close to it when I went to see Arbroath in August though...

I think it should be this boards mission to ensure any wayward effort is deflected in your direction from now on!
 
Never watched the players warm up .. too much valuable drinking time to watch synchronised leg stretching!

I did get to catch the match ball once at Wycombe behind the goal. Made a total hash of throwing it back, for some reason it hardly cleared the front row and bounced back into the crowd off the back of an advertising board.
