One thing is for sure, for the Stoke game Rupert wont be able to blend in, in the crowd, but will he be in his old seat ?  

The weird thing for the Stoke friendly will be the fact that the supporters will all sit on one side, whilst opposite them will only be those in the directors box with Rupert Lowe right in the middle.

There will be no hiding place for Lowe if things dont go to plan, as he will be plainly visible to all those in the stadium, but one question that hasnt been answered though, is whether Rupert has put his old seat back in place.

A little known but true fact, is that when Rupert originally left, his seat was taken out and replaced with just an empty space where it had been, whether it was some sort of symbolic gesture is unknown, but the truth is that gone it had, to cleanse the stadium Rupert's throne had been removed.

But has it been replaced since he came back ? or is our returning leader merely sitting in a lowly directors chair, has he made Andrew Cowen move up one ?

Answers on a postcard please !
