Pretty bizarre mental gymnastics here.
Throwing a few fish his way might have quietened him down.Sat next to a guy in the Sky Blue Stand, back in the early 90s. He was prob in his 30s sat with his Mum, and they would have a blanket and a flask to keep themselves warm. What annoyed me was his clapping. He clapped like thunder. Never heard anything like it before or since. The noise went right through me every time. And I even told him not to be clapping a couple of times ( and he was obedient ! ) most games I’d put up with it for first half, but would rarely go back to my seat after half time. Sounds nuts to think I even said “keep the clapping down a bit mate” as if he was in a library.
Was that the first season the stand opened?At HR I had an old guy and his daughter sitting behind me he used to smoke all game, he would spit quite a bit when he shouted abuse. I remember him calling sol Campbell a camel for a whole game. He had a heart attack during a game and survived a few weeks later he was back smoking and losing his shit.
I like most of the people I sit near in block 20 and couldn’t ask for a better neighbour than @borastons

I sit next to a couple of people in their late 60s/early 70s who have been going since the 60s. They always bring a bag of mint humbugs and Wagon Wheels to games and call the linesman a useless prat regardless of what he’s doing. Both used to have season tickets with their sons who now don’t go anymore but they’ve stayed friends so now go with each other. They also wear chinos like the good Block 20 fans they are.At HR I had an old guy and his daughter sitting behind me he used to smoke all game, he would spit quite a bit when he shouted abuse.

We used to sit next to a guy in the East Stand who’d spend most of the game hacking up phlegm and sitting it on the floor in front of him. When a guy in front of us had a heart attack he went he went to attack the paramedics for getting in his way.
Im actually impressed PVA actually attended a game
I need more information before deciding whether I like them or not.I sit next to a couple of people in their late 60s/early 70s who have been going since the 60s.

Great fun watching games next to them
I swear wagon wheels used to be so much bigger back in the day!I need more information before deciding whether I like them or not.
Jammie wagon wheels or normal?
We had bigger bandwagons thenI swear wagon wheels used to be so much bigger back in the day!
Me too, and I don't believe this nonsense people say that it's because my hands were smaller when I a kid. I swear they were bigger even when I was a young adult.I swear wagon wheels used to be so much bigger back in the day!
Come on Barnsley
Ironic as the Japanese economy and standard of living is much better than ours .Being next to an overt racist at Cardiff wasn’t something I want to repeat.
‘Palmer’s just spent the last few weeks kicking coconuts around on the beach’
‘Sakamoto might as well be sewing badges onto our shirts in a sweatshop’
It's usually the Gammons who go on about Wokes, but have been happy to support censorship in recent weeks.I mean, people might say it’s woke. But there’s the “racist/sexist/etc as much as you want at home, behind closed doors” way of life. Okay. But times have changed and so does language, don’t be a dick in public.
What about those 4 scruffy looking blokes in their 50s-60s who wear Sky Blue knitted hats? Oddballs to say the least. Try sitting next to them and they frown at you for approaching their radius. Good job, I don't like the smell of lynx and piss anyway.
Couple of wankers filming themselves aswell while watching the game to be fair.Interested to hear peoples worst stories
Can’t be as bad as this poor bloke

There was a pretty vile young lad in the away end yesterday who'd brought a Leeds shirt in with him and kept holding it up to the Leeds fans. He'd drawn a variety of cocks all over the shirt and covered it in abuse.
Might have been the same Cov fan near me at the CBS vs Norwich and then next to me away at Ipswich. Just bellowed non-stop dogs abuse at Wright throughout the games and totally ignored the failings of every other city player. When I asked him to shut the fuck up, him and his mate started going double mental at me and asked me to justify the amount I was paying Wright to play. There was another guy next to them (at the Ipswich game) who had gone with his young son and was so drunk he thought he was at a midweek night game. Went home feeling like I'd spent two hours in a Victorian asylum.Millwall away recently Cov fan and his mates just hurled abuse at Haji for first ten minutes, then started on Mark Robin's for buying Barnsley's second team. Very weird and they disappeared when we started scoring.
I remember when we used to chant 'get into em, fk em up' if I ever here someone shout the first bit now, it's like autopilot in my head!If anyone's ever sat next to a knob that shouts "KICK HIM!" a few times each game....
that's me, and you're welcome. It's funny to me and that's all the justification I need.
You and Nick should sit together. You'd have a great time.If anyone's ever sat next to a knob that shouts "KICK HIM!" a few times each game....

Were you about at the time when every week, two old guys (might not have been old... I was early 20s) used to let off those long squealy/stripy balloons when it was quiet and they'd screech around people's heads!?.... Alway thought that was fairly amusing....Used to sit at the back of the west stand at H/R , every time mo Konica went on one of his legendary runs this guy would jump up and shout "release the hounds" it was actually quite funny!
He might still think I'm a Council / Wasps mole...You and Nick should sit together.
Every game that happened, I always wondered who that was. I think they sat near the person who used to bring and spin the old 1930's football rattle up in the west stand.Were you about at the time when every week, two old guys (might not have been old...
