Crutches and football matches

I have had a recurrence of me cruciate and I'm currently on crutches. They used to be considered offensive weapons (although I got into Wembley with crutches last season). Will I be able to get a copper to open the exit door for me? Anyone know?

Sorry to hear that Doug. I'm sure they'd take pity on you and let you in. Just don't sit next to Jonno - ye knaa what he's like. Actually, if you ask the club nicely, they'd probably be happy to have you on the substitutes bench.

Absolutely - I'm still covered in bruises from the last game so God knows what it will be like if Dougal is carrying crutches.

BTW, very sorry to hear it Dougal - I hope you can get the problem sorted out for good.

Thanks for sympathy everyone. Actually, this morning some buffoon shook my hand and the hand that got injured in the summer has started throbbing, too. Isn't it funny how it does all happen at once? This reminds me of a funny case a friend had a few years ago. This woman was married to a big client and was hugely stroppy and difficult. Anyway, she was on a flight and got hit on the head by a briefcase that fell out of the luggage racks. She got a sore neck etc. The case went on for quite literally years, the woman getting noless stroppy and difficult as time went on. Anyway, the case eventually setttled and the VERY day it settled, she was on a flight and the very same thing happened again.

Dougal,

Just what have you been doing? I'd always thought that soliciting was a safe occupation with few risks to the person.

Did you sustain this damage when struggling with your briefs?

Reminds me of trying to get in to Watford with my leg in plaster to my thigh. The bastids wanted me to walk all the way round the friggin allotments! Eventually persuaded them to let me in from the other end. They never once questioned me about carrying the offensive weapons crutches ... they were just being jobsworths and not allowing me in a "home" supporters entrance. Just as well it was standing at the time as there was no way I could have sat down with one leg plastered straight!

I went with to a hearts pre season friendly a few years ago with my hand in plaster. The stewards asked me how I had broke my hand and I told him that a Sunderlands fan head was the culprit. He smiled and let me into the ground.
