Quote: FekaTheBeast "I just thought that Gleeson seemed like he diddnt want to be there, he turned up later than the rest then went earlier with his Kurt Kobain t-shirt on instead of training gear like all the rest. Anyone else think that?'"
As I was managing the stage I didn't have time to do much else or get in the line to get my daughters first Warriors baby-grow signed, so I had to mainly wait to grab players who came out of the tent / were leaving / arriving.
While I can't exactly put my finger on why it was uncomfortable with Gleeson, he was the only player who seemed totally uninterested...so much so that with a couple of kids and myself standing around him with pens and merchandise, he said "wait a minute" got his phone out to read and replied to a text message which seemed really odd and a bit embarassing. No banter, no looking for the best place to sign - just bamm and off! Huge contrast to every other player who although probably tired and sore from the night before, never waivered or showed and signs of boredom at all.
I must say, the experience did put me off him a bit and I would have been a bit annoyed if I had been one of the parents of those kids.
As for the Phoenix nights comparison...I must admit when I first got there and saw it being set up my mind did wonder where Jerry the berry and the dodgy inflatable castle was!
As for the yellow tent: I did see it had a telly in it but have no idea what it was for...I wish they had leant it to us for the bloody stage in the morning though!
Fair play... again me and the family had a really good day... I know it could do with improving for next year... but it was better than nowt... its was only £2 aswell!!!!
