LOL, I think they certainly did!
Reminds me of the time I went to Walsall RUFC, a few years back now. There was a 2nds match going on, on the lower pitch, and an injured player was stretchered off. They brought him all the way round the main pitch and disappeared off with him.
At half-time, I went into the crowded bar, bought a drink, moved sideways, and just avoided stepping on the injured player, still on his stretcher, on the floor! They's dumped him in a corner of the bar awaiting an ambulance. He was quite happy and chatting with everyone - I guess he was hoping for a free pint!!
