Are you telling me that a game requiring patience, contemplation and a five-day attention span doesn’t appeal to you, Matty?

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

What would the OAPs who play it do instead, Matty? You've got to think of the OAPs!

Do you know what the set up will be for the likes of Fulham, Southampton etc?

I'm presuming the standard away end will have the option to be split into two like now but I can't work out how they'll do it at BMD.

And Newcastle.

No white seats spelling EFC or anything, just staying all blue seats?

 

[Sharpy9]

Mr Drone said they're keeping them all blue, because they'd have to re-do it when we get sponsors etc. On his tour I think.

 

[blulouie]

Yes they are staying Blue but will have sponsors/kit names in wraps over them when they are sorted out.
Could be Toyota & Castore etc.

I still can't believe this word exists in this context. It's apparently a passage that allows people to enter or leave a stadium deriving from the word vomitorium.
I think whoever came up with it was chancing his arm and probably can't believe it's now in popular usage. I hate it. It makes me sick.

Its a great word.
