It kicked off in the West Stand on Sunday and I can understand why. Atmosphere in there on the Saturday was mostly good-humoured until late afternoon, when all the lairy lot had finally had too much to drink and started chucking paper cups around. We ended up leaving when they went off for rain due to the arseholes around us, which is a shame as we missed the three wickets late on.

Western Terrace has always had a horrendous reputation. I was there in the late 90s for a match v Pakistan when some idiots started chucking round a pigs head that they had smuggled in, which was NOT well received by many.

Yeah, there is a bit too much shitty behaviour in the grounds these days. It would all be greatly improved if there was a blanket refusal to admit:
Anyone with a musical instrument
Anyone in fancy dress
Anyone who views themselves as a member of a 'Barmy Army'
Anyone in a football shirt
Anyone who looks like they may make a beer snake
