So on Monday we'll be having guests over, many of whom might be visiting for the first time.


I wouldn't want you to make yourself look silly so here's the lowdown on how we do things in our stand.

- We prefer one long queue on entry instead of fanning across all the 'pat down' stewards.
- Flasks compulsory, if you don't have one, just pick a spare up on your way out, for the next time.
- We only use the concessions stand at either end - Never go to the middle one.
(Many are unaware of the Pizzeria, I'd like to keep it that way).
- Only use the toilet at the North end.
- Your steward will be lovely - They haven't done a days work in 7 seasons, let's keep it that way.
- Gully is a hero to half the stand he is to be revered accordingly.
- When you hear "East Stand East Stand give us a song" look the other way.
- Books are to be returned before the final whistle.
- At which point you yourself should be unlocking your front door.


I hope everyone really enjoys themselves.

- Bring sunglasses!

Really like the East stand.

The view of the west is great! I once sat in the front row of the east upper banh on the half way line and it is probably the best view in the stadium.

You forget to mention the ban on singing or getting behind the team when sat in that stand?

Is one allowed to take a hot water bottle and a tartan blanket?

Compulsory.


You've got some Wethers Originals, right?


Obviously your other option is FKW, but that's only allowed in Jnr sizes.
Not a good look for half of us.

Heh, look at me, I've got a ticket. OK, well done Stat, I didn't want to go anyway. Enjoy the evening.
Has anything been said about the kiosks and beer yet? Surely all food and drink has to be served at a table. No bar/kiosk service.

Thank God we are in the North Stand. Anyone got any helpful advice?

I'd like to know how you infer that from this general (attempt at humour) thread about life in the ESL.
