Games To Play At Roots Hall

The Big Shrimp

I thought I'd share with you all the game me and a few mates play during play at RH. Some may consider it sad, but if you want another little bet other than predicting the score, then this is it!!

It's predicting how many times the ball doesn't come back into play, i.e. either goes out of the ground or gets stuck on the West or South Stand roofs! I told you it was sad, but if you have a pint per person on it, it might be worth it!!

To give you a clue as to what the range of "scores" are, the last 3 games have been, 1, 0 & 5! The worst offender for putting balls in orbit or Vic Avenue, Peter Clarke!!

I feel cleansed now I've shared that with you all!!
 
as we sit in the west we usually have the bonus of being close to gower in the first half... and me and my dad usually try to predict at what stage of the first half will he look completely knackered (usually resulting in him doubling up with both hands on his knees, or taking about 5mins to get back onside)

Usually after his first run at a defender!!
 
Our defenders play a game every week..................how many goals can we concede from set pieces, they are quite good at that game !!!!

Interesting you should say that. Leon was doing the same whilst Crewe were preparing to kick off at the start on Saturday. I pointed it out to a friend.
 
Spitting crunched up polo mints at spectators in front of you is excellent fun. If you hit the bald patches of people sitting in the first 2 rows of the South Lower they assume it came from the Upper and look - occasionally waving their fists and expleting too - up above to vent their anger.
 
Surely which Bluebelle you would like to 'entertain' the most is the only game to play?
 
This game is best played if there's a load of you - it costs £2 per game to play. You need to be sat in a line or in a block.

Each put £1 into the kitty. Choose someone to start. All they do is hold one coin. Every time the ball goes out for a corner, goal kick or a goal, they pass the coin on to the next person. Who this is will depend on whether you are sat in a line or a block and whether you go left, right, clockwise or anti clockwise but basically you keep passing the coin on at every goal kick corner or goal.

Whoever holds the coin at half time scoops the pot.

Then start again for the second half.
 
When the players have a drinks break during the game, see how quickly the boozers (Macca, Foran, Hammell) run to the touchline to re-hydrate themselves

Why are you lot so harsh on the Irish lads and their 'drinking' problems? :D The only alcohol Kevin Maher smelt of when i met him last month was aftershave...i think :thump: :D :D :D
