Ball boys / girls

[LEONARD]

It's all that excitement and goals affecting their performance.

Is our current crop of ball returners the most lack lustre group we’ve ever had?
If this is our academy kids, there really is no hope?
Surely they should be told to get the ball back to a player, or are they encouraged to sit on their backsides in their free training gear?

I think you’re right about the fans @chicoazul

Somehow in Egg's world this will be Thelwell's fault.

You jest... .BUT.... I was a ballboy for Norwich at Carrow Road in the early '90s for one of their games against Oldham. Before the game, Robert Chase (Norwich Chairman at the time), came into the ballboy room and explicitally told us that if Norwich were losing, then we were to get that ball back into play straight away (but if they were winning, then to take our time ).

Also my Dad still hasn't forgiven me for failing to get either of Joe Royle's or Graeme Sharp's signiture that day, they were Oldam manager and player at the time.

They don't do the hard yards these days.

You know things are bad when we're having a pop at the ball boys/girls. If we referred to them correctly as ball they the standard of service might improve.
