Surely the attendance alone is enough to make Randy scratch his chin?
I think they are now including stewards, catering staff, ball boys/girls, St Johns, etc in the attendance.

Everything about the club has become incredibly painful and distressing experience for me over this season. I never felt anywhere near as bad  as I do now when Dolly was in charge. Sometimes I just want to give up because I feel it's detrimental to my health. Thanks Alex for destroying the club I love .

Anyone got an idea why most of the bars where closed in holte upper.

If there was ever a season that we all need beer fast at half time then this is it. Especialy against Stoke.

Only 30k at game today. It's going to be below 25k at Bolton at home the way it's going.

Apologies, but that was a genuine question. What was his reaction? I didn't see it but have seen a few posts/heard talk about it.

Did he celebrate or something?

Looks like moving up the table isn't going to happen. 7 league wins all season is ridiculous. And then theres the cups... remember them?

He was clenching his fists and then turned to somebody he knew high up in the Trinity Road Stand as though he had dedicated the wonderful draw to them. Cringeworthy.

Clenched fist salute towards the Trinity Road Stand I believe as well as clapping as he left the pitch.

Ha, sorry JJ, he punched the air to someone within the trinity (didn't see that myself, quoting others) and was clapping (saw that bit on the stream I was watching)....you'd think we'd just won the match...

Clenched fist not air punch...best not to twist the truth.

McLeish admitted he was reasonably satisfied with the two points gained over the Easter period.
