I know it does seem over zealous but if the rules are laid out in advance then I suppose people can't (shouldn't) complain. After having looked at the rules, we decided that if Laura did want to go then we'd have great difficulty as I'd have to take a couple of bags with all her medication etc. in and wouldn't be able to just leave them on the bus in case she needed any during the match. We may however have to rethink when we reach the Final!
Darts - funnily enough When me & Alityke were waiting for the train at Sheff to go to Liverpool, this other Reds fan was rummaging about in his pocket & pulled out some darts he'd had from the previous nights trip to the pub. The look on his face as he went thru the "What the heck am I gonna do with these?" was a picture. Nearly as good as the look on his face at 9.30pm, when I left the platform to get my taxi, looked back to see him mid clinch with Alityke, doing what can only be described as a "victory jig"
