Dugout
« on: October 25, 2016, 02:47:54 PM »
No, I know HDE left some time ago.

I noticed that the home Dugout has been switched back to the North Stand side of halfway again.

Anyone know when and why?

It was mentioned elsewhere.

Originally changed by Lambert so he was nearer the home end - changed back by Bruce because he saw it as bad luck. He might be correct.

I heard Lambert quote that he changed the dugout because he couldn't believe that when he was there with Norwich the previous season, he was able to "get into the linesmans ear"

I wasn't sure why Bruce had changed it back

I don't believe in luck.  I do believe in people believing in luck, and 7 points out of 9?  Sign me up

I can't argue with that and it's fair to say that we rode our luck in the Wolves game.

I must confess though, being the shy little bunny that I am, I would prefer to be "in the linesmans ear" all game.  It's horses for courses I guess.

Crikey, imagine Lambert's unintelligible ramblings "in your ear" for 90mins whilst you are trying to  concentrate!

The linesman thing doesn't irk me too much but I liked the other way round better so the subs warm up by the Holte End, makes them easier to boo.
