I think we need to lighten the mood! With the season drawing to a close what is the funniest incident you have seen?
My contribution is about an enterprising supporter. About a month ago I arrived at a non-league ground and saw what at first looked like a pigeon loft. It was the other side of the perimeter fence behind one of the goals where the gardens of houses back on to the ground. Curiosity got the better of me. Closer inspection revealed it was not a home for our feathered friends but a wooden platform on stilts with a low wall around it and a roof above. It was empty. At one minute before kick-off the occupant of the house strolled down the garden path and took up residence on the platform together with a small refreshment. This gave him a perfect view of proceedings on the pitch, protected from the worst of the elements and from where he freely offered advice to the players of both teams. At half-time his wife came down the garden path with his pie.
