Surely the dug-outs would be better off on the Mill-House side of the ground like they were a few year ago?

A definate psychological advantage.

longer for the lads to run to the bogs
longer for wilson to scream the roof down
longer for me to get to the boggs

longer for dibbs to get to the pie stall

If you recall, they were changed due to the donation to David Hodgson's pension plan.

Best thing they did was switch the dug outs to where they are now. Means that they don't get in the way of us on the MHT :grin:

technically, I don't think there are any "dugouts" anywhere these days!! Probably health and safety reasons. They were usually concrete bunkers dug below ground level to allow spectators behind to view the match without having the team benches obstructing their view. The other downside to the proper dugouts was that the manager could only get a worm's eye view of the action.
