He'd always bring this bloody school-type satchel with him which had his flask, sarnies etc and which encroached into my personal space. He'd never take the satchel off and just lay it on the floor. Oh no, he had it on his shoulder all through the game, nudging me throughout. Thank F- the sad git has moved now and I have some decent matchday companions. Did you ask him to move his satchel? Curious to know what he said, if you did, as a man using a satchel is probably quite civilised and inclined to be polite, you would have thought!

He'd do it, then shift it back onto the shoulder facing me after about 10 minutes or so. I think it was like a comfort blanket type thing for him!

I now have a mental image of this bloke`s satchel sailing through the air from the upper Dolman with him still attached to it Superman fashion and landing on top of Lloyd Kelly as he`s about to take a throw in.

Baldyman Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Lansdown top tier row Z Spud. Not a chance in hell of that happening up there. More chance of sitting next to Usain Bolt and Daley Thompson up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive spoken to him once in attempt to engage in some light conversation but to no avail....I think he did grunt once tho. The other guy on my right, Nick is far more engaging and I enjoy sitting next to him. The guys behind care amusing as well - full of profane comments aimed mostly aimed at Pato and/or LJ. Being around real City fans and joining in the banter is all part of the matchday experience for me. My tip would be is try to find a mate who wants a SC and get one in adjacent seats. If not and you know any other SC holders try and get seat near them. As you’ve moved around AG you’ll know which stand you prefer - for me it’s the Dolman It might be possible to change SC seats if you find yourself squeezed in but then when you move you could end up in the same situation - assuming there’s a vacancy of course.

I usually sit in the Dolman and have a group of mates that sit there. However there are no vacant seats around them at the moment. I really like the view from the Lower Lansdown so have been thinking that for next season. Not a fan of the upper...there is no atmosphere, and it's like watching a Subbuteo match from up there :laugh: Thanks for all the comments and thoughts on this thread folks.
