Had a night out at the footie on Tuesday night, while over-nighting in Sheffield...
First football match for some years. I used to go to Millmoor regularly to see Rotherham play in the 90s, and in the 1970s was a regular at Elland Road to see the classic Revie-era Leeds... Also saw Huddersfield a few times in the 80s when studying in the town...
It was a local-ish derby against Scunthorpe. Just under 20,000 in the crowd, and an entertaining match which could have gone either way but ended up with Scunthorpe winning 4-0.
Lots of temporary retail opportunities around the economy of sporting events, and entertaining tannoy announcements..." would all stewards please go to Phase 5", which basically meant "stand up"... Might be a useful teaching tool... "Smith ! Go to Phase 5 !"... oh, and they ran out of pies at half time... who ate all the pies ?
Thanks to Nick, Ian and Andrew for their company, and to the folks in the GAC stand for teaching me some new words beginning with the letter "F..."
