Dressing Room Insight!

For me personally despite the bad result at Wycombe it was a great day! Being probably the oldest mascot ever (40th Birthday celebrations and all that) it was a real priviledge to spend about 20 minutes with the lads in the dressing room before the kick-off. Here are some secrets/personality traits fron "behind the door":-

First observation is how cramped everything is in the dressing room especially as a few of the players like to do warm-up exercises (in the shower area!) before the game as evidenced here by BBB doing sit-ups/stretches

Lloydie (complete with massive gold necklace) uses a weird bit of pink/purple elastic to do arm/shoulder exercises and he seems always to be smiling!

Other observations:-

Darren Powell spends an inordinate amount of time on the bog.....then when abused by fellow players threatens (in jest) to stab them!

Close up Sidwell looks as though he has got a bad case of jaundice....I've never seen anyone who looks so yellow.

BBB leaves it to the last minute before changing into his kit.

The ghetto blaster plays really loud unidentifiable black music.

Although I didn't get to speak to all the players a big thank you to all of the following for being bloody nice blokes....

Gibbo (Top bloke)

Steve Coppell (for making me feel welcome)
Oli, Ben and Evo.

The funniest moment was leading the team out onto the pitch when any latecomers would have been expecting Evo to run out first, instead this sight met their eyes............

....to which a mate told me later that someone behind him stood up and declared "who the fecking hell is that".

Brilliant! You looked like you were having the time of your life out there prior to KO- some nice shots at the goal while the team were warming up I seem to remember. Great photos too- perhaps something to put in Beesotted?

Great post Staines. It's good to get a little insight into what my/our heroes do before kick-off.

Well done Staines Bee and thanks for the behind the scenes info.

what about a feature length article in one of the fanzines - it could include a photograph of one of your 'warm-up goals'. Fat Bee Slim said you were good enough to be signed up (not sure what as though!!)

Thanks for your views RodBee. Gibbo said to the ref just before kick-off "any chance of sneaking him on in the second half". I enjoyed kicking a few into the net...but no way could I last 90 minutes!!

Good post SB. looks like you really enjoyed it, happy birthday etc.

Really good post Staines Bee.
I reckon it would make a brilliant read/view in the matchday programme.

Happy 40th Clive welcome to the club.
You didn't put a cup of tea by the post by any chance or break anything while you were in the dressing room ???.

Why did your shirt say "German 40" on the back? Many (including me) thought you were German Bee!

I thought you were Eddie Hutchison!!

Was getting a little worried about the clubs training regime......

Probably the best thread I've ever seen on the grapevine!!!

Clive, did you politely ask if you could change the music on the ghettoblaster to Milli Vanilli?

I think his surname is "German"!

You almost knocked me out with one of your prematch shots on goal

Brilliant.

A cheerful, positive, no whinging, fun, informative post.

You should now be banned for life for posting this sort of propaganda.

Happy birthday!

Brian, Thanks for the sentiments but NO I didn't have a cup of tea or break anything!...although I did have a crafty fag on the sideline!

Twitford...your detective status has obviously deserted you! The number 40 = age.

Name on back...add a letter "Y" to the end and then re-read the programme!

Sacha, yes I did.....but McCammon has been on the look out for a vertically challenged chap who apparently has the master tape!

Yeah sorry about that Griffin! A couple of my "efforts" were slighly wayward to say the least. However, I did donate two Brentford footballs (at my own expense) to a couple of the kids in the Brentford crowd.
