Golf ball thrown from West Stand Upper during Wigan game

[Barrel of Fun]

They sell club branded golf balls?

They do. I had three of them and they were suitably lost on their first outing. I haven't purchased them again.

Was that 'outing' in WSU?

Was that 'outing' in WSU?

It was last summer and it was at the Rottingdean pitch and putt, but I did absolutely nail the ball, so I wouldn't want to discount it.

I reckon you could reach the centre spot from an ideal location in the WSU.

The culprit will soon be found out. Suggest that you look for someone wearing plus-fours, and shouting "you the man" and "get in the hole". Seeing the physique of some West Uppers he will definitely have a belly putter.

Good one liners but the culprit won't be laughing if identified - Barber stated it will be a lifetime ban from the Albion!

But on the upside free membership at his golf club

 

[Husty]

They've already ruled out every person in the 1901 then?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

I hope the ball was returned.

Sorry but I don't believe for one moment somebody purposely threw a golf ball at the press box.

Possibly dropped on as these things have a mind of their own bouncing around on concrete.

This sounds like it could be nearer the truth, I'm sure someone on here would have mentioned it before yesterday.

All I can say is

As an aside do footballers still play golf? I remember a time when it was quite common for players; don't hear about it so much these days.

I believe they play it on their Playstation consoles these days.

If a ball was dropped from WSU (it'd have to be from the front row to be dropped, making the culprit reasonably easy to find, I'd have thought), it'd land in 1901 middle tier and not the press box shirley? Nah, if it landed in the press box and they are sure it came from WSU, then it was chucked....

Yes - you'd have to throw it a fairway.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

There is always the outside chance a seagull or a crow dropped the ball. I've seen them doing it trying to smash them like eggs.....but this was from my garden, not the upper west

Boom tish!

Or an Eagle.
In fact it could have been any breed of Birdie.
I think the club needs to get a grip.

The culprit is gonna have to lyle low for a while, can understand a torrence of abuse but would have thought something els more appropriate than sending a zinger across the WSU

 

[black shadow]

dob them in!

How they know it came from west upper? If someone did everyone would have seen it too.

Exactly, if it was thrown, the crowd around and about would have seen the **** responsible so do the right thing and dob them in.....wouldn't hesitate.

Not if the front 10 rows let him play through.

So first it was a phantom sh1tter, now it's a phantom golfer, perhaps Mr Barber needs to give Derek Acorah a call...
