4th test Manchester

A bit off topic, but there was some sort of incident (scrap) at the back of block 6 of the so called ‘party’stand at OT today.

The stewards waded in and it all seemed to turn a bit nasty (I’m talking cricket in 2023 nasty, not football in the 70s nasty). One lad, who I think was an innocent bystander, ended up going down the steps head first.

Did anyone see this either from being there or on social media or whatever? There were no Aussies nearby so far as I can see.

Call me a boring old twat, but the behaviour of some people in that stand over the last few days has been ridiculous. Most of us like a beer or 6, but after tea there each has been a constant hail of beer and various projectiles thrown indiscriminately, presumably from those who can’t handle said beer. It’s a cricket match, not a mosh pit FFS.

Had the cricket not been of the exceptional standard it has, it would have ruined our time at the game. I would never consider sitting there again.

Just saying, like.

Yeah. The beer snake fell to bits and some bloke with a man bun took exception to one particular bloke throwing the cups around.

I'm with him, but it was over in a flash and there wasn't much more throwing (I'd expected more in the so called party stand). No reason to lose his temper with anyone in particular.

Anyway, he pointed out some bloke who told him where to go, he carried on pointing and the bloke started stepping over the rows to get to him. Bloke with the man bun arse completely dropped and he ran for the stewards. :D

Stewards came over and - I think - told him to wind his neck and stop starting bother. All over in a couple of minutes.
