I have on many occasions forgot to take a coin out with me, when the skippers came together I was open with them and explained the situation, I would just say to the visiting skipper ends or kick off, and that would be the end of it. If the home skipper said anything, I would just say well you have home advantage let them have something, that usually got the laugh and the game went on its merry way. The 'ivorytowers' personnel should be hanging there heads over this, surely but surely there are more important issues that they have to administer than worrying about the triviality of this. However thinking about it, it is the trivial that they excel at spending time over, rather than the important issues in todays game.
