Yes it was very clever ripping the piss in a Leeds pub oustide the ground. I'm sure you'd appreciate the same if it happens on Boxing Day.
Meanwhile, as we mentioned beforehand, a number of your fans enjoyed the beer garden behind without so much as a murmur either way. Four coppers came up the stairs, looked around in vain for trouble and walked off.
It can be done, you see.
I was in the beer garden until about 2 O'clock I thought the atmosphere was gradually getting more hostile as kick off approached. The knuckle draggers on the grass bank where chanting all sorts of abuse at anyone in a Pools shirt.
For that reason we decided to have a pint in the ground, and I was wasn't surprised at all to hear it had all kicked off about five minutes after we left!! To be fair that pub had more 'hooligan types' I've ever seen gathered in one spot!! I'd hardly call the place away fan friendly

I frequent that beer garden from 1pm every home game and those 'knuckle draggers' are simply scarfers who've had a bit to drink. I've NEVER seen anything kick off round the back. If, however, something goes amiss inside then there will be the usual supply of people who wouldn't start anything normally who'll tag along.
IN the beer garden your fans enjoyed uninterrupted drinking and as far as I'm aware (and it's not a big place) not one single word was uttered in your direction. Half those people are from WACCOE.com and have been gathering there as friends for years. I'm one of 'em, so I should know.
