Seagulls during match


There was circa 25 pigeons congregating on the pitch in the south east corner for what seemed like forever.
Of course all these observations and indeed the complacency of the pigeons tell you a lot about the game itself
 
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.
 
Interestingly we commented during yesterdays game the pigeons had a meeting in the second half opposite the east stand bottom left- was that about attacking the seagulls.
If I had the the wings of an eagle and I had the arse of a crow, I’d fly over Sid James park tomorrow and shit on the bastards below.
Thank you and goodnight.
 
Bloke in front of me got shit on his bald head. They were definitely more organised yesterday afternoon and a real threat second half.

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.

One of my mates is convinced that seagulls are drones with cameras used by the government to spy on us.

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🤣

The second-most middle class conversation I've ever heard at football, was Gateshead vs York about 10 years ago. Sat amongst the York fans (a former colleague supported York) and one of them was patiently explaining to his friends that there is no such species as a 'seagull', as they flew around the stand at the stadium.
