the lower barclay

[River End Rita 0]

I got nicked after the Millwall game in 82 when my bloke got nicked by some copper who was giving it all that so I told him to stick his helmet up his jacksy, and that was in the River End so I don''t know what all this is about.  Lots of noise in the River End you just need to know what bit to go in.

I sit in the snake pit and am outside your age range as are many of the noisiest supporters in there - and they make twice as much noise as the Barclay every week!

Not a good attempt at a wind up.

Some of the old duffers as you refer to them make more noise than the younger people.....think about it!

LOL!

No, that idea is nowhere near controversial enough....

I think the powers that be should copy the film '' Logan''s Run '' in which anyone reaching the age of 30 is automatically disposed of. This whould apply to the Barclay Stand and Snakepit. To get over the disappointment of being culled the Club would offer attractive reductions in season tickets for those approaching 30 as well as cheaper shirts at age 29 as only one years wear would be possible. 

To complete the removal of undesirables from other parts of the stadium anyone currently turning up with dribble stains and/or smelling of wee would be banned for life and forced to attend a '' re-education '' centre every match day where it would be compulsory to listen to Radio Norfolk''s match commentary and post match ''phone-in at full volume.........

Surely this will be a non starter as the expense in providing nappy changing facilities throughout the stand will be beyond the club''s financial ability.However it will not be necessary to provide power points for electric shavers but maybe a qiuet corner would be good so that homework could be done for those arriving early for K.O.There would be no need for condom or sanitary towel machines in the toilets.Blimey the pros and cons are endless if you think about it.

I hate the word sexist, its for all the PC people of the world. Its called reality.

Besides the rest of the ground is sh1te, either full of families and oldies. I really do hate the other parts of the ground, especially the River end, I was there for a seasonand my god.

[quote user="gazzathegreat"]I have one thing to say to you and that is (polite version) please don''t say anything unless it''s worth saying. I am outside your age bracket (49) and so are two to three of the most vociferous supporters near me, it''s our little area that starts off a lot of the songs. I am sure this email will just about make Mr Doncaster''s day. Well he''s got to have something to laugh about at the moment hasn''t he? In case you were wondering, it''s probably the football, not the age of the support, making the difference to whether the Barclay is loud or not. I can cite quite a few posters on here who are older than me (and who will probably reply to you). Most of us were brought up in a standing Barclay which was louder than now, but times change. Sitting down doesn''t help (but luckily enough some of us get to stand up all match). I guess you would be happy with an age range of 16-35 all male? Dream on, all city supporters have a role to play in supporting the club. I am sure those who don''t want to be in the Barclay can move, after all it''s their choice.[/quote]

actually neil was very receptive to the idea, he said   "i totally agree , some of these old gits have been in there comfort  zones for too long, they sit in there seats year after year moaning  and whinging.. they all bring their own food and drink so never spend a penny at the kiosks, and they all knit there own hats and scarves (some old biddies even do this during the match apparantly)  so  don`t spend a brass farthing in the club shop, he said the idea of replenishing the barclay with younger fans had been discussed before among the board  but european human rights legislation prevented it  from being actioned but they`ve since found a legal loophole  and hope to bring it in for the 09/10 season and and a cover letter will be sent out with the renewal forms"  [:D]

51, never felt more passionate... even when part of the NHS

in fact if anything i feel its the younger element that lets us down..... nothing less intimidating that teenagers chucking the O at oppo fans

The ground has been a morgue since the seats went in. The whole standing debate is PC bollox.... sitting down didn''t help at Bradford did it?

We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o''clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife. Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o''clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won''t believe ya''...........

Canaries in Bed - So, not too happy to take me up on my offer I see? You obviously prefer to keep with just blokes, fine, as for kids, I guess you were one yourself once. My son has been a Season Ticket holder in the Barclay since the age of 11. He''s 22 now, but has been singing and supporting in there all those years. If he, I, or indeed I suspect, many other loyal long term supporters didn''t care we just wouldn''t attend games at all. No, you''re correct, we should get rid of kids, oh and women too, that should sort football out once and for all. Think about it.

Shame you appear not to like the human race too much, and for the information I have never smoked in my life. Though what that has to do with singing at a football match I have no idea.
