aka_riise 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Interesting observation whilst reminiscing about better days. The snakepit was completely empty in any footage shown!When did people begin to populate this hotbead of support ;) Any kind of barclay over spill resulting from something?Thinking back, I can''t remember when this switch over ever occured to becoming a place that was ever populated, let aloned mentioned as somewhere of note.

jammis 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Was definitely full during the European adventure. Not that I was there, too young and I have a father from Ipswich , but that''s what my videos show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 246 Posted December 17, 2009 Blimey, I haven''t managed to make it into the Barclay since it was rebuilt. it was just a low-roofed terrace on a hill with no-roo toilets at the back! Rather curiously, the burgers seemed to be in hot water too. Often would have one of those and a Barclay-End brew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fanzines noted that with its low roof it would be a good place to get a good noise going- also there was a general feeling of people getting slightly p*ssed off with being surrounded by teenies in the Barclay singing too fast and giving it large to the away fans, then legging it as quick as they could at the end of the game. My lot were amongst the first to move over, but i drank too much beer in those days to remember exactly when it was [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems barely credible that here we are getting all revved up about some mangy pub team off the A12 (the other one) and for some of us getting on the plane to Milan seems like yesterday, happy days.
