screech Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 We seem to kick off at 305 each home game, any reason for this? Thought I would throw it out there for those who have struggled to find a negative to our great start to the season, for the record each of Sean O'Driscolls home games kicked off at the correct time.

WTFiGO!?! Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 That prannying around shaking hands at the start is a farce. Just leg it out in a line, do a few unnecessary stretches, and get on with it. Like the good old days. Cut out these group hugs, as well. Research would show that it makes no difference, would be my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead instilling a genuine sense of fairness into players and supporters would be of benefit, not symbolic gestures. But we can all dream. Also, the atmosphere is smothered by it. That crowed noise of everyone going "YEAH ******* COME ON CITY!!!" as we run out has been further killed by the FA. First World issues but they make a difference.

TNBT Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wonder if it's cause Cotterill wants to know everyone else's score so he can give the players a kick up the arse to score if needed :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs are like uhh what you lot doingthat is true, I'm sure our players stitched up Sammy v Leyton Orient. He was out the tunnel like diarrhoea, whilst the rest of the team jogged out, casually, several seconds later. Was it an in-joke as they knew he was leaving?

A Horse With No Name Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 All joking aside, the club have countered the queueing problems at the turnstiles, by sneakily putting the clock in the referees changing room 5 minutes slow. This allows more people to get in by kick off, and relieving criticism of the club. Remember, kick off time is solely down to the referee, and it's a different ref every game. Sneaky but true.

WhistleHappy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Cotts gets to know how rivals have got on and he's then got about 5mins to fire up The Jet if needs be, a short sharp shock for the days opposition when they're knackered.

NYTRAM Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 To be fair to the club, the queues were much improved Saturday. Maybe the turnstiles decided to work properly. However the late kick off is mystifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
