Quote: Bigpev "thanks for your kind words, the lads were my son and his mate, they were stood with me, the unruly element was just in front of them, i got the bus back, he is 20 so he can look after himself.
im my earlier post i said wannabee, being a football fan and season ticket holder at a certain team that plays in red, I know the majority are good lads. in any sport some nutters do attach themselves. But if my lad and his mate caused any offence by wearing bright red body suits i apologise.'"
no offence with the choice of clothing - all the french thought it it highly amusing ! I just felt sorry for them when they realised that the cold wind from the mountains warranted slightly more suitable apparel ! They must have frozen thier widgets off...
reduced visiting numbers this year though - is this down to the time of the year or just lack of money going aroud nowadays for the Reds fans ?
I recall the Saints game last season which was in late fecruary or early march and only about 200 came down whereas this year the same fixture is in mid summer so hopefully a lot more fans should make the trip
