I have to say I have mixed views on Headlingley as a venue, in the main had a great day out, no issues at all between any of the supporters, spoke to several Fev, Oldham, Hunslet, and even a couple of Hull fans, all enjoying the day, we also bumped into Rob Parker, and John Duffy, also saw Richard Agar having a laugh with supporters in one pub, someone told me two bobs was knocking around but I didn’t see him.
Whilst out and about some of the door staff in some pubs seemed to be simply refusing some fans entrance just for the fun of it, saying things like “it was too full”, when quite clearly it wasn’t, and when I pointed it out they said “we have to give staff time to wash the glasses” I wasn’t going to win nor was I too fussed as I was already inside but one or two fans trying to get in were becoming a little frustrated but fortunately I don’t think anything happened.
As for the ground, I didn’t think it was a great view from that terrace, nor would I like to be there in the rain, toilets seemed a mile and half away (but that could be the zig zag route I took
). Oh and I lost in the ‘catch-a-ball' whizzy thing! (not their fault I know my opponent must have cheated!
.)
But when we lost our little Angel
the Police did their best trying to direct him by phone to the nearest land mark and showed us on their phone whereabouts they thought he was, they also radioed through saying keep an eye out for him, so in fairness they did probably all they could, bar send up the chopper. The coach driver and some of the passengers were a little p’d off whilst our search was going on, understandable I know, and of course the lad should have been responsible enough to find his way there but coaches being parked in a lane at the bottom of a housing estate isn't great, even if he has been there twice this year.
All in all who cares we won
