A few years ago the bloke who used to sit behind would get extremely animated when the action on the pitch got exciting.That was a golfing umbrella, where's the problem with folding umbrellas once a steward has assessed it and found that it wasn't a cunningly disguised flare?
(I walk from Bournemouth station and have now been soaked to the skin twice thanks to me consciously not taking a folding umbrella.
Sat for 90 minutes pissed wet through isn't conducive to me thinking warm thoughts when it comes to AFCB off the field.
Also, if you can't bring in a golfing umbrella why are walking sticks allowed?
Without wishing to give people ideas, my weapon of choice would be steel toe capped boots/shoes/trainers.
My point is, if you're looking for trouble, just about anything can be used as a weapon.
Then the usual kicks in my lower back through the gap between seat and it's back,then several clouts around my head.
Finally I would get some smacks from a programme edge or corner.
Trust me a rolled -up programme is capable of drawing blood.
