Suspended Poole Town Manager Watches His Team Play from Attic Window
Life is all about workarounds, and when one door closes, you either mewl in the fetal position or search for a solution—possibly one that involves staring ominously from a dark, elevated position.
Poole Town manager Tom Killick chose the latter of these roads, opting to watch his side play home matches from the attic of a nearby building after a ban precluded him from entering the team's grounds.
Daily Echo photographer Richard Crease and the Daily Mail shared images of the manager peering out from the dim window of the attic. All he's missing is a pair of binoculars pointed the wrong way, or perhaps a Jason Voorhees mask.

The Daily Echo's Andy Mitchell (h/t Anthony Hay of the Daily Mail) reports Killick's new perch comes courtesy of a Poole Town groundskeeper, who lives in the house and offered his attic as a vantage point.
The manager was suspended for six matches in January after an incident with a referee and has one game left to serve, according to Mitchell. Killick says watching play from the attic isn't the worst place to monitor his team.
"I can pretty much see the whole pitch apart from the goalmouth at the end I watch it from," Killick said. "It is quite a good vantage point but being detached from the players makes life difficult."
I have a suggestion for Killick's final match of watching in the wings:
He's not allowed at the stadium, but nowhere in the bylaws does it say a coach, an old curmudgeon, a dog and a Boy Scout can't float over the playing surface aboard a house suspended by balloons. That's 100 percent legal, guys.
Dan is on Twitter. He's all about aerial workarounds.
