Got told the same by a mate who works the North but he’d only heard this from someone else... Could be rubbish. Did apparently go home though... A steward seemed pretty sure of that despite that Argus article.. CH saw him just before game but watched in East stand over the other side when they normally watch in West - seems a bit fishy but hopefully I’m wrong...
Do they? Players lounge is in the East isn’t it so completely likely he would have a seat in the East.
