Just laughed at the prospect of someone turning up and trying to get a harp in the ground. Presumably it's not mentioned on the sign outside the turnstiles which lists prohibited items.

Let’s hope there aren’t too many away fans this time. Got my foam hands ready to give the boys a rousing reception Honestly mush, kids today eh? No respect for tradition. Why can’t they just go down the Painted Wagon, have a few beers, fight the ICF down by the station, go to the game, have a few more beers, go down Top Rank, have another fight, throw up, have more beers and then go home?

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Woke up in a cold sweat this morning with a troubling thought...with our limited songbook and as we've lost a few chants (Stu Armstrong, Aribo rumored to possibly be off and as we aint gonna be challenging for europe, so no EI-EI-EI-O) was fearing we may be left with just even more OWTS but it could be worse...the return of the Lallana wave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Have to say I’m so glad the Northam has sold out - proved a point about the concept of expanding the ‘home end’ / cop. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person for the first time, so I hope everyone’s in good voice for that! Quite surprised also to read that ST’s have all but sold out - I wonder how many matchday tickets will be available to purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to play Sunday mornings and after a big session you’d pray for heavy rain so the game would get called off and we’d have a team breakfast at the Jackpot instead.

Ex Ringwood Saint Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Well, me and the now 18 year old lad have left the safety of the old family center corner of the last 10 years and have ventured into block 46.. Look forward to not having 5 year olds doing the waaankaa sign and disinterested parents nodding off... Should be a blast.. As long as the seats have been cleaned after seasons of away fans rs's... I'm sure everyone will be moaning about something after a few games and harping back for the good old days..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I was expecting some of this 1885 group to have organised themselves over the summer with a few new chants but going by Newcastle last week it doesn't appear to have happened. So it's still just OWTS, the cringey skate shit and a couple of others. Hopefully it will improve as the season goes on but for me, just making noise is as good as singing. Would be good to develop a 'Northam Roar', the kind of thing you used to get in football grounds years ago, particularly with corners down that end. I'm an old git in his sixties but I'm in the Northam Saturday (not around for United and back in the KIngsland for Ipswich), my support is a bit industrial so I'm looking forward to seeing how it is Saturday, hopefully leaving with a sore throat! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The club need a rethink on the fanzone design. People in the fanzones obstruct the flow of people around the outside of the stadium before and after the match.
