There is one thing, though, which something needs to be done about. The spectators (who, I should add, were fantastic in their support) really were far too close to the sideline. There was even an incident with a chair and a clapham lad which should never have happened. There are (at least) 3 good reasons for keeping the spectators clear of the sideline. 1. Less chance of incidents (like the chair one) caused either by the player's momentum, or his/her laying out (e.g. worlds greatest - I wonder how many more we'd see if there was more space!?). 2. Players are restricted from throwing discs which go out and then back in (normally roll curves) . To do this at present, the release would have to be extremely high. Imagine that someone is breaking long, and you, trapped on the sideline, want to throw to him. The throw you would ideally make would (when the spectators are as they were yesterday) have to go through about 5 people at least. This is outdoors, and one of the great things about outdoors is that there are no walls. Why feel the need to construct one out of people? 3. It makes it easier for the team playing to maintain contact with their sideline members and vice versa. (A related point: Why not even have an area for the team to be in (a dug-out?) in the middle of the sideline area?) Solution: mark a spectator line 5 or so metres from the sideline on the pitch on which the final will be played. Then everyone will be able to see the pitch and it will be better and safer. Thanks to everyone for there support at the weekend and sorry about the rant. Just thought I'd better say it while it was on my mind.
