Remembering the days of no seating, all standing at English Football Matches.
None football fans may find it difficult to understand why there is such a difference between standing and sitting at a football match but we the fans that can remember, no there is a difference.
I found it more exciting there were less quite spells and more life for longer periods throughout the game. Naturally, there is going to be slightly less noise and excitement at periods throughout a game but being on your feet gives it milliseconds of readiness for a wave of reaction from thousands of football fans, this makes the hairs on your neck stand...
Was all seating the right thing to do? YES absolutely YES.
After the 96 Liverpool fans that lost their lives at Hillsborough, 1989. 100% yes time for seats time for change.
Angles of View
Sometimes it is difficult for us fans to appreciate the snooker ball angles players have on the pitch were as we have the luxury of the Subbuteo view, still even though this is the case it does not stop us screaming out load with praise or abuse pillows at T.V`s the dogs, the kids the wife or direct from the stands to the players, I call this passion and Nil Statis Nisi Optimum - Nothing but the best is good enough.
It is also times when I am away from the game that the same angle of play that players play is the same angles a referee has, they do have it difficult, linesman, on the other hand, need to start with keeping up with play and then using their position for more than just waving a flag.
