Not sure if many picked up on the hilarity in Block C / D this afternoon in the latter half of the first half.
There had been 4 empty seats just to my left in the row in front, which were occupied by two very very drunk youths after about half an hour. Not sure what happened to the other two ticket holders.
One of them was trying to sing and wouldn't sit down at first, but caused much giggling around the area as he was unable to pronounce any words correctly - he seemed to have been stripped of his vowels.
After a few minutes, his mate made him sit down, but he continued to slur his way through some songs.
The stewards were soon watching him, and his mate kept telling him "shhhh, they'll throw us out".
A short while later, he yelled "Come on Brighton, we can win this". I'm not sure if he knew we were already winning. He then suddenly said "Hey, is that Kuipers in goal" which at least proved he could still see!
When a flowing move resulted in an attempt on goal, he completely lost his balance, and went body surfing on the rows in front. I got the impression nobody was amused except those of us watching from behind.
Well, sadly, he got up to go to the loo after having only been in his seat (or at least the area where his seat was located) for about 15 minutes. The stewards immediately got excited, he nearly fell into their waiting arms as he went down the stairs, and was last seen taking to and then being led away by a policeman.
I guess you had to be there, but what a muppet. 15 minutes was all he saw. I don't think I've ever seen anyone quite so drunk at a game in all my years. Nobody on here, was it?
