Whatever the correct term is these days, but do we have enough of them around the pitch to get the ball back into play as quick as we need it

I think we kept the same amount we would normally have for the multi ball system but without that its just not enough.

No. I was talking about this today too. The Ball Persons don't seem to want to get off their stool if the ball comes near them either.

Good point - we noticed this too. Often the players would would have to go some distance to retrieve the ball, both behind the goal and on the sidelines. A fair amount of time was wasted for this.

Surely they must have been coached? If your winning take your time, if losing livo!

Agree and as for the person in the East stand who kept rolling the ball away in the opposite direction, just an embarassment. All for holding on to it, if the away team is demanding, but made him/herself look very silly.
