All I want to do is:

🦐 Drive to Roots Hall on a Saturday afternoon
🦐 Park in the M&S Garage and get a decent latte and maybe a sausage roll
🦐 Walk to Roots Hall with Mrs RHB down the famous Shakespeare Drive
🦐 Chat with the stewards and Mrs programme seller
🦐 Chat with @Cricko if he's sober enough
🦐 Try and avoid the West Stand bogs for fear of electrocution/drowning when it rains
🦐 Amble down to T block nodding to blokes I still don't know the names of
🦐 Cheer and clap the players when they come out to warm up
🦐 Cheer and clap them when they bugger off to get stripped down for the game
🦐 Catch up with our regular chums around us, football and social news
🦐 Do the cheering bit again when the teams come out
🦐 React according to the quality of the game and the team
🦐 Provide appropriate advice to the West Stand lino
🦐 Stay to the end and clap the team before they go off
🦐 Walk the Shakespeare Drive walk again back to the car
🦐 Take an age to get out of the garage forecourt listening to Paul Clark on the car radio
🦐 Arrive back home and feed Maurice the rescue cat.

Setting all that out sounds so repetitious and boring, and it is, but I bloody love it, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring and never tire of it.

So, Jack and Ron Martin, make an old man very happy and do the deal with Justin and Co quickly, and then you can go off and do whatever you want and me and her can get on with our football supporting lives. It's not much to ask is it?

Don't want much do you ;)
 
Same.

Meet my mates in the railway at around 12.30. few pints and a burger
Get to the ground at 14.30. Grab a quick beer and order for half time.
Take my seat in W block after moving on some little upstart. Say hello to the usual crowd.
Cheer the boys on for 90 mins with ht beer and a chat out the back of the west.
Clap the players off after a record win.
Back in the railway for one or two more.
Home and order a curry or Chinese for me and the anchor. Probably get moaned out for drinking too much.

Job done

Hopefully buy the latte and sausage roll at an outlet in the ground, once COSU have upgraded the food outlets.

Absolutely, but the last coffee I bought in the West Stand was in a plastic cup and my finger tips were welded to the edges of it - never again. also, decent food outlets will need to be available in each stand.

I like the way you missed out on 11:30 am, when I come over with the twister Matt and we have a game of naked twister before heading down to the Railway.
Are you ashamed of our pre match drinking warm up?

Then Re-live it all Sunday Morning courtesy of Moi? 🦐
 
Can we add to the list, as well as giving April her job back, that we also reinstate the skinhead who sold raffle tickets and Jockey Wilson the steward #justice4jockey

Oh, and Elvis the Eel for that matter!

I would also like to see a random spectator dressed in an Old Pa Shrimper costume with a big net chasing Sammy around the pitch at half time in the style of It’s a Knockout, we could have had Stuart Hall along to commentate but I believe he’s unavailable.
