Not free, you owe me one of your portions of chips!

SB - in that case I think the stewards are getting it right

Main Stand Stewarding - spoke with one of the stewards for about 10 minutes before the PSF against QPR. He explained that it had been made clear to them that our fan base (particularly in the Main Stand) was likely to cause few problems particularly given the age profile of many and that a sensible light touch was all that was required from them.

Looks like I'm still living rent free in the poor old sod's head

I remember seeing the hockey stadium when I was in Tokyo in 2020

CW - I taught with one of the GB Bronze medal winners from the 2020 (2021) Tokyo Olympics - the had lost heavily to Netherlands 5-1 in their semifinal, but rallied from 3-2 down to beat India 4-3 - I’ve got some lovely photos of her medal as she brought it to school for people to look at, which was nice as I’ve never held an Olympic medal before…

And then LTB's best mate Sam Quek was unleashed upon the world

10 years ago today nine million including the Queen watched the Olympic hockey women’s win the gold at Rio 2016 [Link]

CW - Leyton seems unchanged from previous visits - though no pubs remain on High Road - increase in moslem population maybe?

Well I like the new formatting of the July DTB minutes, iin fact if one had confidence in the DTB membership it would be a good set of minutes.

DO-a rare appearance for you. Were you updating the Andy Away guide?

Bag searches at Orient last night. Didn't have one, so can't say how thorough. No body searches.

Nick Kyrgios the Aussie tennis loudmouth suspended for cocaine use

I remember teaching English in a French school and some oik asked me if I knew Tiffany’s nightclub in Wimbledon Broadway

We had a coach load of Spanish foreign exchange students over at our college that summer there were hormones flying around everywhere. Sofia Perez I still love you and thanks for the [redacted] behind the wall at the top of the squash courts.

Wox, I got that at Highbury once. Loads of male PCs but a young WPC gave e a full body search and didn't charge. Surrey Bob was body searched by a big ugly male copper

Does a small bar of choccy count as "food". Buggered if I'm paying £3 for a Twix at the ground.

Little did you know the 1990 summer of love was a few months away…

I've found it - 6.1.1990 - WBA 2 WFC 0 FA Cup 3rd Round

on body searches - I went to a WBA v WFC game many years back - when I got to the entrance there were at least 6 stewards ready to search the wombles. I chose the only female steward and got a laugh at least.

It’s ok Airsy it was a rare compliment.

Sorry - read your "does" as 'doesn't'

I'd say it's the rules rather than the staff Trigs. Generally away fans are very complimentary about our security staff and put them above most over sides

Welcome change and I will get a medical exemption cert as previously advised
