Seagulls during match


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

Sneaky bastards.

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!
 
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.
