Welcome To The Jungle Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bloke behind me pinched my hat and swung it about for Agards (it was returned). Hugged many a strange man tonight without paying for it... That could be a new billboard for the female and gay communities.

ChippenhamRed Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I hugged a stranger tonight when Agard scored. I don't think he was expecting it. Apologies to that man. For me, the acting a physically embracing a person you've never met before defines the great games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 There seemed to be a bit of overflow in the press box, so a suit came out just after kick off to ask if the seat next to myself was going spare. Indeed it was, so he pulled up some bench and joined me. I can understand as a club employee (he had the lanyard and all) he has to remain somewhat dignified but as the game grew in intensity I could feel the crowd's enthusiasm rubbing off on him. He was at work, so inevitablly he had to dash off every now and then, be it into the press box itself or wherever he was going. This meant he missed the first goal, and the ensuing madness. Each time he returned, undeterred and still not wanting to miss the game. It got to the point when shortly after Bryan was hacked down in the second half, he added a shout of "too right, mate" when I trotted out my trademark "Send the****, red"(Let it be known I use this for every minor indiscretion committed by opponents). The game continued to rise in hostility and excitement until it happened. Bryan comes infield and shifts back onto his left. He joins in the crowd's unified cry of "shooooooooot" and did he ever. Bryan of course lets fly into the top corner and before I know it not only are we embraced but we've moved a good few feet down the row and I've smashed my hand against something on the wall. We were now friends forever. By the time the third went it, a one armed embrace of relief was in order. I've hugged plenty of strangers at the football, but tonight I hugged a club employee.

Roe Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I did put an arm round the kid (I say kid, he was probably about 18) next to me for Agard's goal. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
