    Impressive isn't it :) That was my dad next to me. Luckily he's shrinking as he gets older so wasn't as disadvantaged as me

    I should have been in the East Stand upper. Unfortunately I entrusted the ticket buying to my retired geography teacher dad who got confused by the plan of the ground and booked in the wrong stand. We only found this out when the ticket reader rejected us at the turnstile.

    It was amusing that people in the West Stand are just as impatient and intolerant as those in the Ponty and East Stand, just a little more genteel in their delivery

    You weren't near the lady who shouted "he's offside" when people obviously weren't?

    My favourite moment of the whole game was when one of our players (apparently) came over to use an inhaler. An old bloke got so worked up shouting that he shouldn't be playing if he uses an inhaler that he ended up having a massive coughing fit for the next 5 minutes whilst been told to calm down by his wife

    There was a big bloke on the front row who must be an Olympic gymnast given the angle at which he'd managed to open his legs so he could fit in
