An Amusing Tale from the Amex Today

[Ecosse Exile]

So what exactly is the dress code for the 1901? is it just no football shirts and no trainers or is there more to it than that?

Clipped, I know next to nothing about the AMEX layout. My dad has been scraping up every photo he can find, every detail, everything. But I just want to turn up on the day and be totally awe struck. I knew we had a club shop there, but had no idea if the shirts had sold out or if it was only programs or something like that there, sounds clueless I know, but I am! hahaha

Fair enough! I would imagine the club shop will be well stocked. Maybe order online and ask for pick up at club shop next Saturday?

Here's a amusing tale ... or, at least, it amused me.

After getting into Dick's Bar, post match, and enjoying a pint of Harveys, I decided to wander off into the West Stand lower concourse to see what was going on there. Inevitably, I got into conversation with NSC's favourite media whore, Mendoza, who was entertaining a couple of visitors from America. The visitors were attracting a bit of interest from other people in the concourse, including someone who called out to them ... "Hey, Wardy!"

At this point I must have looked across and smiled, or something.

Anyway, half an hour later, I was back in Dick's Bar. Someone, who I can only assume had seen me earlier in the company of Mendoza's visitors and who obviously doesn't know what Peter Ward looks like, comes up to me and says ... "Hello, Mr Ward".

Mistaken identity, obviously. I was speechless. But who else on NSC has ever been mistaken for Peter Ward? Or any other Albion legend, for that matter?

Yes I was mistaken for Eric Young once and then two days later for Liberace

You lot think YOU got problems? Friend of mine went to the Goldstone board unveiling ceremony yesterday and loaded the photos into Facebook - which promptly tagged all the photos of Attila as THPP!

Did you tell said bloke you were not Mr Ward or did you milk it? Please tell me you carried it on!

Nah.

I just left him thinking that Wardy is a miserable old git.


An alternative explanation has just occurred to me, though. Maybe he thought I was MIKE Ward.

Oh dear.

Hey Wardy, that's some hair transplant surgeon you've got!

I was told when I bought my tickets for the 1901 that the rules were no replica shirts, no ripped jeans and no shorts. This seems to have expanded to "no trainers" and "shirts must have collars" as well - odd because it's not Studio 54 or anything but there ya go !
I think that the rules are mainly for the lounges but not for the seats themselves - I saw one fan wearing a replica shirt (although he was only about 14). Most people were wearing just an ordinary shirt and jeans - nothing special although I did see a few in suits.

Where is the amusing part??

 

[Whitterz]

Id feel like a right pratt going to watch a football match suited and booted.

No you'd feel special.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

No you'd feel special.

I rest my case. (See "free ticket" thread)

My slightly amusing moment from yesterday - My old man and I stayed behind for a pint after the game and thought we would allow the crowds to die down a bit. Finished our drinks, found the exit stairs from the wsu, made our way down them, opened the doors at the bottom only to find ourselves surrounded by loads of people with cameras and lots of police and the Tottenham player coach in front of us. Twas a bit surreal being ushered away by a few officers.
