Anyone keep figures on the crowd numbers at Colts?
Ignoring players and team officials, I reckon that the figure would be double digits.
No real threat of Servo Pulveriser being overwhelmed while he watches his young bloke run around in sun with his mates.
I couldn't care less who it is on the receiving end of my "advice", but I will wang on with any of the other Mums and Dads at the footy for as long as they are prepared to listen. One of the joys of waiting around for training to finish or after drop off and before the game starts.
I'd also expect to see Servo work the BBQ at St Pauls oval at Uni home games when it is his turn by roster just like all the Dads should.
I won't go out of my way to seek out Servo, or Dingo, Cheika, Cam Blades, Phil Blake, Manu Sutherland, Tim Rapp or the like at the footy to deliver the sermon according to Hugh, but if a conversation is struck up then you just wang on in pleasant conversation as you would with any other spectator.
Obviously the conversations with Rugby VIPs that I personally know are a little more in depth and possibly more confrontational than one I would have with Servo or the other blokes listed above.
Taking
Bruce Ross's example of Eddie J at Chatswood oval with his kid, you'd have a good chinwag about the game in front of you, who's playing well and relative merits of the scrums etc, the playing surface at Chatswood oval, whinge about parking, and wish him well with the Wobs. Unless asked for, you wouldn't front him about detailed Wobs coaching stuff or ask him why he didn't select X for the 1st Test or what his plans were for the Saffer tour. Good manners still apply on the sidelines of a footy field. He's there to enjoy some footy with his kid, just like all the other Dads.
