Arrived at the turnstiles at 19.20, had no problem at all getting in or finding my seat. Problems exacerbated by far too many blues drinking until the last possible minute. I don't really get this attitude that you have to get arse-holed before you can watch a football match.
you ve just been told that traffic to liverpool was horrendous..maybe that's the reason everyone turned up late???? eh??
I'm not saying that the traffic wasn't a problem, I travelled through it as well. But I had a swift half at 1905, left for the ground, but the pub was full of blue idiots. It's about time some people took responsibilty for their own actions.
Me and my dad drove from manchester due to us not being able to get off work/college early (I had an English language exam late aternoon). WE DIDNT DRINK ANYTHING, we literally went straight to the match and got forced to wait outside the turnstiles.
Also, my dad got abused by the stewards for being overweight, i dont normally complain about this but i swear on my life the conversation went like this:
steward: to all: "were just trying to get you through"
*19 stone steward was blocking the way*
Dad: "scuse, i cant get through"
crowd "for fucks sake, let him through (or similar)"
Steward "for fuck sake, go on!!"
*police had to phisically pull the steward back as he was still blocking the way*
steward "if it wasnt for this fat fucker (he was 19/20 stone himself) there would be no problem!!"
Now, my Dad is very dosile and it pains me to see officials giving him a hard time over nothing.
dont generalize mate
