Would Stuart long please see the nearest steward....

[SpottySeagull]

For those of you that heard the tannoy message yesterday about 30 minutes into the game I just wanted to let you know what it was about. Stuart's wife phoned me to say that she couldn't get hold of him and that her waters had broken, could I get him to go to the hospital. Not sure if he had purposely turned his phone off but i spoke to the stewards, who were great by the way, and they quickly got the message out.

Happy to say that a new Albion fan was born last night, Archie (i couldn't convince him to call him Bruno). Having seen his dad play football he will not be playing for the Albion but if he's anything like his dad he'll be cheering the boys on. Just a shame we couldn't get three points to celebrate but life goes on, and for Archie starts........

Does Stuart sit in the front row of WSU? A guy who sits just along from me rushed out when that announcement was made and didn't return.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Should have named him Gully. Good story, congrats all round.

 

[SpottySeagull]

Yes he sits in WSU towards the south stand end. I expect that was him, unless there are two Stuart long's up there!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Do we know if the good lady had an extremely comfortable labour all afternoon, followed by agonising pain right in the final seconds?

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Archie.. OUT!

 

[WATFORD zero]

The excuses some people come up with for leaving early

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Happy to say that a new Albion fan was born last night, Archie (i couldn't convince him to call him Bruno).

Congratulations!

Wonder if there were any new Bolton fans born last night that will be called Bogdan?

 

[One Love]

Was it just me but when his name was read out I had visions of a very tall mouse leaving the stadium?

 

[Magicman]

Good news that .

 

[W.C.]

Old skool!

Congratulations

There is NO excuse for a gentleman to be disturbed about his manly pursuits.

The poor sod will have to listen her bleat on about perineums and cracked nipples for weeks on end now as it is.

 

[matt]

Should have called him 'Therefplayedoneminutetoo'

 

[nwgull]

I've got no kids. Does anyone want to congratulate me for effective use of contraception for the past 20 years?

 

[Official Old Man]

Wife giving birth. Is that a good excuse to leave early. Surely the phone being turned off gives a clue that he wanted to stay.
Well done and congrats to the pair.

 

[Rabeen]

Great news. Softens the blow of the last gasp equaliser.


Congratulations to their whole family and the Albion family in general.
