Maybe I will try and get myself lost outside the ground and start crying so they can kiss me better and take me to the correct turnstile.
I wonder if they are trained in mouth to mouth resuscitation because I may just faint at the sight of them.
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Not the most PC person in the world but some of the comments above are a bit Rolf Harris (allegedly) for my taste.

I suppose it's balance for the comments about players' bums you hear from the Crumbie gals (incluidng Mrs G although she did also have a thing about Census Johnsons calves).

What about more mature female members? It is discrimination. Why can't we have a couple of fit, young men dressed as Tarzan to help us?? :smt002

Looking at the kit I think you're more likely to get Don Estelle.

How about a few (say 15) fit young(ish) men in tight and scant clothing who have spent hours in a gym honing their bodies who then vent a lot of their testosterone in a competetive arena for all to see? Come to think of it, that sound a bit like a game of Premiership rugby. See JG's comments about Mrs JG and props, or any bloke's wife at a rugby game. Mrs GS goes all gooey at the mere mention of...... well, that would be telling :smt002

Last week I commented about how Giraldini had spotted YBY's looking at the chance of a try and moved from 1st receiver to supporting player to help YBY over the line. Mrs GS thought he looked quite sexy. On the third replay she could see what I meant.

There, pick the sexist bones out of that one. :smt023

The pivotal moment for me was a couple of seasons ago when 12T had a kick from the Crumbie touchline and his bum was about 5 feet from the front row girls as he lined the kick up. The silence was deafening until he took the kick - then the gasping for breath, murmurs of Whoarr and so on were very revealing.
Mrs G turned to the lady next to her and said "Do you think he waxes?" :smt005

Yes this idea is old fashioned and sexist.

This is a stewarding job and there is no need for girlies. I note that there are no women on the Board of Directors despite the gender balance of the crowd.
