Seagulls during match

[dred73]

It was like a scene from a Hitchcock film, with the racing pigeons in the corner. The football must have been interesting at this stage

It was all being played in the other half.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

We used to get a wonderful Starling murmuration during Winter games over Swindon.
Better than the shite on the pitch.

At the SOL we get constant murmurations every game, all season long. About Patto being a fat bassa, Ballard being slow, Reggie not making substitutions, Cirkin failing to cut out crosses from the subs bench, litter on the pitch, shite wifi, leaking roof, shit bogs, broken hand dryers and early leavers.

To name but a few.

Is that all
You will never stop some moaning Mate.

Our fanbase firmly split now. Those against this regime are wearing orange hats, a peaceful silent protest. A few wearing them at Donny Saturday and some of our pro Putin, sorry I mean Clem lot moved seats

 

[The Mole]

Found them absolutely fascinating today. I was watching a specific one to try and get into the mind of a seagull and understand his/hers movements. They would sit on the seat in the lower premier concourse before gliding all the way to the other side to sit again. Also made me think if we could have some sort of robotic seagull with cameras for eyes feeding back live info to our coaching staff.

Sang louder than the South Stand apparently the knars

 

[vote quimby]

Be mint if the club would pay for one of those weird blokes dressed in green and brown, with a nasty bird of prey on his arm as half time entertainment. Just letting it fly off like a spitfire, smoking one gull at a time. Might even get me back in the ground, that.
Could have bets on how many gulls it could twat in 15 minutes.
Croud could do the "Ole!" thing with every neck it takes.

 

[Ferryhill Exile]

The pigeons were lucky not to be Humed, takes no prisoners does our Trai.

Must have been some lovely tasty seeds for them in the South East corner.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

There seemed a ridiculous amount of them yesterday, I can’t remember it ever been this bad over the years.

Did someone say previously we used to bring a bloke in with a hawk to keep them away?

Maybe we could dress Samson up as a hawk when the match kicks off.

I’ve only been going again for last few seasons and that’s the first time I’ve seen loads of seagulls like that

Any coincidence that a new bar at the ground opened.

 

[Twisted]

Just leave some food laced with Bicarbonate of Soda, I'm sure it makes them blow up after eating. Fan's would stay till the end just for the Aerial dismay and give it Ole Ole! with every explosion

Think how good the grass would anarl being fed regularly on seagull carcass.

Bit day of the triffids mind

 

[Lukas73]

do they get counted in the attendance figures..?

 

[Bacchus]

Secret scouts for Brighton, collecting Opta stats for Tommy Watson.

Sneaky bastards.

Bastards got in using a sparrow concession ticket

I don't care about Magpies
They don't care about me
All we care about, are gulls from the sea

 

[Ale taster]

They're scared of magpies I've heard.

 

[Scimmy]

Terrible name though as most spend the majority of their lives on land!

Their actual names are gulls, not seagulls. Gulls are then distinguished from each other by further names like herring gulls, black-backed gulls etc. Kittywakes are gulls an'all!

 

[me is back]

Seagulls are only good for one thing, and that’s knocking out Magpies

So the name is stupid then?

 

[Kenna]

Just said this on a different thread.
I've been to other coastal grounds such as Pittodrie in Aberdeen and they bring in a 'Hawk' which circles the ground keep and fettles the gulls.

Even a few fake birds in each corner would likely keep the gulls away. I think there was some at one point.... but this has fell to the way side evidently. Needs addressing but will cost money (therin lies the issue)

This is almost something 'Methadone Mick'would come out with in Still Game

Seagulls in Sunderland have no fear.
