I personally think that Howells feet are too big and will tell Brian that

Priceless.

I was more concerned with the abysmal performance than a bit of sun in my eyes.

Thats probably why you thought the Leeds try was obstruction then

Are you one of those that forgets to put sunscreen on when you go to the beach?

As it happens I can't use sunscreen as I'm allergic to it, and I don't go to the beach because I don't like the hot sun. I thought we played in an enclosed stadium, not a f****** beach? More to the point, we play in a good stadium with a nice shaded stand where I could sit out of the direct sun, if that particular stand was actually available on the day. Instead I have to sit in the sun squinting at the pitch and covered from head to toe like I'm in an Islamic republic with a nice shaded stand laying dormant on the far side.

Pity for you. Some of us more fortunates like the sun.

You cant do much about the environment. Not even the Chinese who wanted to get rid of the clouds during the Olympics,

Get used to it and enjoy it.

D'oh!

I'll wait until I contract skin cancer then.

(Or else I won't attend games at the Stoop, like most of the rest of the population of London.)

So now we can't watch professional sport because its sunny and we're all going to get skin cancer? And the rest of the population of London are going to give the game a swerve too because its a nice day? I agree with most of your postings but you are well wide of the mark here IMO.

Sunny Saturday afternoons and evenings are when our product is at its best IMO. Would people prefer a dull, cloudy sunday afternoon?

D'oh!

I'll wait until I contract skin cancer then. Yawn

Sorry WQ, you don't seem to get my point. I'm not just being fussy - I literally fry like a sausage on a barbecue in hot sun for any length of time. I'm particularly susceptible to sunburn - more than an hour and I'm noticably burnt - and I'm allergic to suncreen. If I use it I look like I've got measles and need a prescription for steroid cream.

I was caught out yesterday. The later kick off meant my seat was in the full glare of the sun even though I'm in the back row. It wasn't that hot, and it was 6pm by the time the match started, and my arms are still red and itchy today, and I was bloody uncomfortable even before Will Sharp started handing our early Xmas presents!

Alright , I'm in a small minority and I accept that most people will probably enjoy basking in the sun for a couple of hours, but it's still bloody annoying for me personally that I could be sat in comfort in the shade of the empty Lexus Stand instead.
