I cant PM you at the mo because the computer wont have it but you are what you have just written. You get away with murder on this forum. Some people dont know its your boys that have anything to do with the club but let anyone critisise any thing that they do. You are straight there with your toxic comments. Words fail me for the contempt I feel for you at the moment.

Thanks for the answer which I have been trying to get through the whole process. If I understand you correctly, I wil be able to swap my swipe card for the other end of the West Stand if I wish.

Why didn't you say that before rather than getting annoyed with someone who is just trying to get information?

Because until the post to which I replied with the answer, you didn't directly ask that question.

Can anyone tell me, please, why we say Fred Karno's Circus to describe something which is chaotic?


FRED KARNO'S ARMY - "A humorous nickname applied to the new British army raised during the First World War, in allusion to Fred Karno, the comedian and producer of stage burlesques, whose real name was Frederick John Westcott (1866-1941). At the time Fred Karno's company was a household name through its high-spirited and eccentric performances. The well-known Army chorus, sung to the tune of 'The Church's One Foundation,' runs:

We are Fred Karno's army,
Fred Karno's infantry;
We cannot fight, we cannot shoot,
So what damn good are we?
But when we get to Berlin
The Kaiser he will say
Hoch, hoch, mein Gott
Vot a bloody fine lot
Fred Karno's infantry.

There are variations, of course, and in the Second World War 'Old Hitler' was substituted for 'The Kaiser.' The name is also applied derisely to other nondescript bodies. Karno himself adopted his stage name, when he and two gymnast colleages filled in at a music hall for an act called 'The Three Carnos.' His agent Richard Warner, suggested they change the 'C' to a more distinctive 'K.' See also Harry Tate's Navy." From "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" revised by Adrian Room (HarperCollinsPublishers, New York, 1999, Sixteenth Edition)
