    Back to the “hoses”

    I’ve never really been that bothered about the hoses, though I do agree they contribute to an untidy area of the stadium, but can so one tell us what they are actually used for, the pitch now has a watering system, and they certainly don’t use them for cleaning the seats.

    They haven’t moved in months, so maybe they are no longer required, if so, why not offer them free to anyone that wants them, on the basis they pick them up, I’m sure a few junior teams would be interested.

    Derry can't be the ****hole it is without the hoses. I think the metal crush barrier on top of the wall makes it more difficult for dabs to break in but it's as aesthetically appealing as Dave bowman and Davie dodds in a 69.

    My rare venture into the Bobby cox on Saturday I noticed they have tried to hide mair **** behind the floodlights....that broken ladder is no use to man or beast but it's there....I wonder if it's been there longer than the hoses....or maybe dens is rented oot to Tayside fire brigade for training sessions....just guessing though....you should write to most respected for answers....reply may drop thru your letterbox same time as your telegram from the queen.

    Jim Thomson told in the middle of July 2018 that the hoses were used for hosing down the seats in the South Enclosure and he told me that they would be removed before the start of the season. He did not say which season and perhaps I wrongly assumed that he meant the 2018-19 season.
    When I last saw the hoses near the top of the Stairway to Heaven on 10th December 2018 they appeared to be in a different position from July 2018 but they are still an eyesore and should be placed out of view. They could put the hoses in these two huts for spectators and like the tractors remove them for home games.

    The 'Hose Challenge', one intrepid fan to sneak across to the derry steps and remove the hoses without being noticed. Has to be streamed live on Facebook.

    That wud probably lead to a lifetime ban, council shutting the Derry and a 25 pt deduction.

    Apparently Deeranged has seen footage of the hoses moving poltergeist style and it's really really scary.😁

    It's all on film. They just sprang into life and started hosing down random seats, I sh1t myself watching it.

    Then a ghostly voice came over the audio asking 'Who really gives a **** about some haunted hoses'?

    I ran away.

    I'm working on a plan. I'll get a team up, go into the Derry in darkness, get the hoses and cut them into bits.
    Next step, lay them oot at the back of the Derry.
    When daylight breaks the message will read ..... Thomson F. O.
    Wonder if anyone will notice the hoses then ??
