Forget terraces

This is the way to watch football......sitting pitchside with no restrictions on alcohol consumption & the best hot-dogs & burgers to hand. Will this catch on at The Valley? Should we clear away part of the West stand to make way for an al-fresco beer garden?

Picture taken during my recent visit to see the Portland Timbers vs California Victory in Portland, Oregon.

at the Timbers

one other interesting activity during an otherwise mundane game, was the Timbers mascot - not your usual oversized foam animal type thing running around, but a real man - a grizzled old lumberjack - who, upon Portland scoring, lopped a huge slice of timber off of a massive log that is placed behind one of the goals - he then ran around brandishing the slice of timber before going back to get the chainsaw & again running around the stadium setting off the saw every now & again to huge cheers

only in America

    lol, brilliant
  • perhaps we could have a fishmonger in front of the Covered End gutting a haddock ??
  • Lol, then going at it with a chainsaw when we score :)
    Bit messy I suppose but he could always chase Harvey and Floyd with the chainsaw instead :)
  • THAT IS QUALITY --

    Getting worried about you now though G - Come home before it is too late mate.
  • Don't worry M. just back from playing in our (Canmore Utd's) first game of the season, English Sunday League at it's best - fights, red cards, disputed penalties & dodgy reffing. Felt right at home.
