A few things.
1 I never said I did.
2 Bizzare recollection????? It was a FACT. I used to supply and maintain the AV equipment for the Lido and Toffs/Palace from mid 80's till late 90's, so was heavly involved at the time especially at TT periods. The guy was banned from driving ( drunk ) and charged with criminal damage.
3 The 'loutish behavour' is obviously getting lost in translation, so is best left droped. I know what I mean, but I am obvously not explaning myself correctly.
4 The DED are Civil Servants. They have a job to do.I do not have an obvious dislike for them, and have praised them on a number of ocasions when the do something right. I would counter that with some have an obvious love for the DED and they can do no wrong in there eyes. I would also argue that I am being objective in my veiws, whilst others are not.
4 The fan base has not gone downhill. But some fans react and behave very differently to others. Example. If 76,000 rugby fans can pack into Twicknham, and they can all drink alcohol on the terraces whilst watching the game. Yet not one of the 42,000+ fans that can pack into Anfeild ( or any other football stadium) can drink alcohol whist watching the match. So, yes, if the TT moves forward attracting some of the newer type fans, the fan base has the potential to go downhill.
