Griffo Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 It quickens the song up until no one can keep up and there is no need for 20 people to do it at the same ****ing time. That is all.
Saint_clark Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Red and white barmy army ends up in about 2 syllables after a while. I agree, it's annoying.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I did notice though a song would start, and hardly anyone would join in, and then someone would bang on the backboards and then a lot more people would join in the song. It is good if a steady tempo is kept.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I agree too, especially for the sake of just wacking them, as some do, but ocasionally i think it gets people joining in, though tbh not very often
Matthew Le God Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Someone is going to do a Maude Flanders and fall through them one day!
Nexstar Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 It quickens the song up until no one can keep up and there is no need for 20 people to do it at the same ****ing time. That is all. I thought you sat in the itchen after complaining about almost everything/body in the northam?
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I thought you sat in the itchen after complaining about almost everything/body in the northam? Also - why come on a internet message board & moan about it when you could just have a word with people doing it face to face in the ground?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I think that most of the songs that get everyone joining in involve banging on the backboards, but it would definitely help if someone who could keep a steady tempo took control.
Paul Chuckle Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 It's basically just a load of pikey 15 years olds doing it. Looked over yesterday and there were 3 lads bashing hell out of the stadium not even watching the game. There aloud to do this but I'm not allowed a top on my bottle of coke :-/

Looked over yesterday and there were 3 lads bashing hell out of the stadium not even watching the game. There aloud to do this but I'm not allowed a top on my bottle of coke :-/ Where I sit it seems to be more middle aged men doing it rather than the pikeys you suggest (although there do tend to be that lot nearer the away fans in the northam).

St. Jason Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 It quickens the song up until no one can keep up and there is no need for 20 people to do it at the same ****ing time. That is all. no back boards in the Itchen North mate, so what we'll do is close that part of the ground so more fand can sit where you are and really bang those boards! Well done Saints, master stroke!!!
ottery st mary Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I think that most of the songs that get everyone joining in involve banging on the backboards' date=' but it would definitely help if someone who could keep a steady tempo took control.[/quote'] Drummer Will Champion from Coldplay when in the stadium would be the best bet:D
saintchris23 Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I actually missed the lack of banging at times yesterday and once it started, people started singing and clapping too. Provided it's done correctly I think it's a bonus. Just NO drums. God Blackpool were annoying!
sotonjoe Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Take a spare in your pocket if it's an issue, simples. I get to keep the bottle tops from my bottles of coke. Perhaps they judge you based on your appearance?
latter day saint Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 from the Chapel on saturday the banging sounded realy loud, much more than when i'm usualy in the Northam? does help to get songs going sometimes but for goods sake slow it down a bit!
JustMike Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 not a problem with it imo, im more concearned with the little racist chavs that grace that part of the ground, the same ones who take great pleasure in saying the word f*kc as loud as they can just because its the only time their parents arent listening and can get away with it!
Spudders Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 I get to keep the bottle tops from my bottles of coke. Perhaps they judge you based on your appearance? Dunno I've never taken bottles of coke in so can't really comment on your theory, maybe Paul Chuckle can confirm the status of his appearance Maybe they think you look like you throw like a girl, so won’t cause any harm to anyone
Jesus Reigned Posted 4 October, 2009 Posted 4 October, 2009 Also - why come on a internet message board & moan about it when you could just have a word with people doing it face to face in the ground? How many chavs have you tried speaking sense to recently?

Carlisle away - Backboard Slappers got the "AP Red Army" Chant going at a steady pace... it went on for 20mins, everyone joined in... Gillingham Home - Backboard Slappers got the "AP Red Army" Chant going at a fast pace and got quicker and quicker... it went on for 10seconds, very few joined in... .

Well since that's me stood right next to the video taker and banging the backboard maybe I should move back a few rows in the northam and take charge of drumming duties! I still have a blister on my hand from all that banging!
locks heath saint 2 Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 If you stand in the kindergarden then what do you expect, maybe you can give out rattles, drums and bugles. LOL

Are they still doing this? I still take a spare cap each time I go out of habbit from having a ST in the Northam a couple of years back.
Badger Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 designated drummer? Pompey could sell us theirs cheaply. Maybe not...
RonManager Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 (edited) We need a conductor, stood on a small plinth suspended from the front edge of the stand roof. As i am going to take up the offer of moving from the Itchen, I can do this job - I have my own bib and tucker doncha know and I'm sure I can find a conductor's stick from somewhere!!

Saint Samuel Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 I sit at the back of the Northam but tend to restrain from banging the plastic, I have no rhythm!
landford.saint Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Take a spare in your pocket if it's an issue, simples. Beat me to it... Do this most weeks when I remember. Similarily people complaining about Torquay £15 on the night... Simple, buy the ticket in advance... SIMPLES.
opthomps Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 justified post. but just count ourselves lucky that we dont have john westwood. that is gut wrentchingly bad toss

I still have a blister on my hand from all that banging! Were you the matey with the black hair? I was about ten people along to your right and thought you did a good job. I would say we were both in time haha. My mate attempted it at one point and was rubbish so I told him to stop. My left hand bloody hurt the next day!!

I'm not at the back in the Northam and the only reason I was at the back at Carlisle was cos someone nicked our seats. I think my backboard banging days are numbered

I think there was a few people spread out along the back who kept it going well, only problem is once i'd started i felt an obligation to keep the song going. Ended up stopping the constant banging and just doing it between singing to save my hands!

deadpanmatt Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 I don't see it as a problem. It gets people singing, and the out of time ones get ignored.
