North Upper Question
Without fail every game at around the 35 min mark he gets up and heads inside, presumably to hit the toilet before the smokers.
For some reason he stands up and turns right, shuffling along the row the long way - causing about 20 people to have to stand up. If he turned left he would only inconvenience about 5.
So my question is - does anyone know the fella and have any idea what the story is? We reckon his missus wont budge, forcing him to go the long way.....

When I had a season ticket in the upper in the prem days there was a fella that sat in front of us that would get up and leave regular as clockwork bang on the 80 minute mark. So much so that everyone around us would give him a ten second rather loud countsown.5

Now I am going to refreshing this thread like crazy as well now. I need to know, it is definitely one of life's unexplained quirks.1

The football must be thrilling at the Valley atm.2

It stopped properly being the Covered End when the roof come off and the Upper was built. It exists on in song now.
I want to know why the fella turns right.3 -
This is the best thread on here by far. Screw the take over talk.0

I don't know. Linkedingate is going up a notch.2

There are two possible reasons
1) The gravitational force of the earth turning on its axis is somehow making him go in that direction from his seat
2) He is really stupid2 -
Maybe he can only turn right. He only lives on Ransom Road, takes him an hour to get home.11

No, the Covered End is the lower north section. The section above it is the Upper NorthTellyTubby said:

Maybe he knows everyone to his right? And he'd rather disturb 20 friends than 5 strangers?0

My season ticket in the good old days was an aisle seat in the upper Covered End. I would'nt budge for early leaver at half or full time.
After a while they went the other way. Which pleased me and about half of our row.1 -
Maybe he’s a relative of J Edgar Hoover0

This made me laugh. I am one of the 20 who stand up for him every game in J block row X. It’s true he does it every game but until bob posted this I had never stopped to question why he took the longer route out.6

My wife did something mildly eccentric recently, I can't remember what, but when I asked her why, she replied, 'I'm 45. I'll do what I want.' Maybe that's this bloke's story.7

I can't believe there are 20 people who sit in 1 row in the upper this season.8

Sitting in the covered end (that’s the lower north to the uninitiated) I can’t believe there are 20 people in the upper north judging by the lack of noise coming from above us recently. Even the drummer seems to have more or less given up...E-cafc said:I can't believe there are 20 people who sit in 1 row in the upper this season.
