There's only a couple of times I've been in the exec box. RESB invited fans from this messageboard, so I went along.
We'd borrowed a couple of players from Blackpool - Stephen Husband and Ishmel Demontagnac and they looked relatively good - in comparison with the absolute dross that played for us that season (2010-11).
Ian Holloway was in the exec box as he was manager of Blackpool at the time. He sat on his own and proceeded to pull out a thermos flask and a tartan blanket which he pulled over himself. I found this really bizarre. It was like he was about 90!
We gave him a bit of banter about giving us some decent players, but he wouldn't react to anything or acknowledge anyone. A right miserable barsteward!
