When the Townend and the Bank sung at each other..

Hairs on the back of the back of my neck stood on end 8)

Didnt last long but  8)

10,400?!? must have been more surely?

Glad we didnt go up no work for the next two games and ready to celebrate :P


Promotion in Bristol could be great especially after last year at shittty..

That song was fucking excellent, my hairs stood up as well, loved it.

Got a fucking stag do in Brighton when the Rovers game is on. But there will be a fair few town fans, so i'm sure it will be amusing to sing derogatory songs about their sexual persuasion when we beat rovers and see the scores within a Brighton pub.

We need that chant again at Rovers with the terrace and behind the goal. was ace.

What was the chant?!

Wish i could have gone  :(

That was awesome :D Was so loud.

 :oops: I dunno about anyone else but seeing this almost brought a tear of happiness to my eye......

that was awesome and had the same effect on me.my lad and his mates loved it and i said "it always used to be like this"
good day all round

Was that today?

I think i must have left.

IS he crying or laughing, what's it all about?

That was today yes at the end! I think he's happy by that big old grin........but some little queer could be tickling his bottom?

Words cant describe. You had to be there.

That Town End / Stratton Bank Chant was just class. Wish it was like that every week!

Today was ACE! Now for promotion at Rovers, a year after what happened at City....the perfect finish. :D

Quality!

We were trying to start a Bank-to-TownEnd chant of 'Give Us An S!' with the Town End responding, but you never did.  :(

Must have tried about 5 times too.

it was bad timing as we had a free kick at the time

the most enjoyable game ive seen at the cg for some years, it was breathtaking to see the bank full of swindon fans! long may it continue. the atmosphere was outstanding and it makes a huge difference having the bank open. shame they were totally outsung by the townend!  :wink:

Timmyg you must of been right behind me! Loads of boozey blokes singing silly chants and pushing eachother around ?  :D  (that includes ash hehe)
That was so funny. some people were singing after the give us an S bit and all you could hear was 'shut the fuck up its for the townend' :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That was superb today havent seen it like that at the ground for a long while shame we didnt get the result from stockport that we wanted.

I attempted to take a video of some of the game while the 'We are Sturrock's Red and White Army' song (It's about 30 seconds into the video) was being rebounded from one side to the other:

The video footage is terrible (Even though my phone has a 2.0 mega pixel camera/video.....), but the chants are here to be heard (All be it slightly distorted)

Ok this ones better than mine  :x  Then again the Acoustics in the Townend are far better than in the Stratton Bank, so that's why on mine, you cannot hear the Stratton Bank as well as you can the Townend, on this one.....If that makes any sense at all.... :?

yes phil, he opens up the lotion and rubs it on himself

Class :mrgreen:

 :D

that hurt my eyes :evil:

Great chant, and I thought it's be quiet in the town end today :)

Fucking ace day. Now Plllllllllllllllllllllllease lets finalise it at Rovers! That would be so sweet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvDbjWe4hXQ

another clip i found.

whats with the gay fast clapping halfway through a chant????
fucking shite

that was great, not seen since shrivvy town end macari days.

by the way the top of the arkells was responding to your give us an s

just got back from the merlin, top day out, thanks for the youtube clips, it sounded great at the start of the 2nd half when the bank started singing. makes a change, i can normally only hear us in the TE sing.

call me selfish but i kinda hope we don't guarantee promotion 'till the walsall game 'cos i can't make the rovers one!

Anyone get the pitch invasion :D

Couldn't see the point myself really. It's all a bit premature. You can peak too soon son.

and we've all suffered from that aint we sam :wink:  :oops:

No......

( :oops: )

it just looked a bit silly today - pitch invasion i mean - although i'm pretty sure i'll be in the centre circle come 5th May when the real celebration happens!

liar! :D

Fan-fucking-tastic.

it sure twas

Took my son to his first match today - was fucking awesome hearing the singing from stratton bank/town end - so glad i did'nt take him to the home match at peterborough which i nearly did - told him how i sat inthe Arkels with my grandad and hope to take my grandchildren there - what a day - i will never forget it......

brings a tear to my eye - glad you had a good day out, i think we all did, here's to another one in two weeks time!

Just what I was thinking leaving the game. Should get that going again.

It was absolutely quality.

That chant was so fucking loud it made my spine tingle.

It truely felt like the well supported club it always was.

I think it just shows you what can be done when the board do something sensible for once, think what can be done in times that will come.  Watching that clip reminded me of what I am missing, my temporary disability will not allow me to attend matches at the moment, although Bowden told me he was sorting it for me to attend!  As you can gather, he never came back to me!

Tell the board to get their fucking arse in gear Ronnie.

I can't believe their ignoring a fan like that.

Actually, it was Ben Lambert and Chris Tanner I believe that came up with the idea for the Bank yesterday.

Ronnie, threaten legal action or get a reporter on the case, it's shocking behaviour and I'm fairly sure they'd be up for a big fine from the Courts under the recent Disability Act

It was Sturrock's idea to open the bank i believe.

8) Sturrock said the fans were 'magnificent' yesterday.

It was just like the old days.

Bank full, great atmosphere, sunny weather.

I feel like i've gone back in time to 1993.

Rob, I had thought of that, but want to be able to go back to the CG when I am fit and well.  I am going into hospital on Wednesday for the final operation that should see me ok to climb stairs and sit down for more than 20 mins!  Hopefully the temporary disability will be a thing of the past in a couple of months.

What an ace day, the pitch invasion was a bit silly but never mind best bit of running I got all weekend!

Sadie loved standing in front of us , honest she dad! Ha ha

The song was brilliant, cant really remember teh game but doesnt matter!

Gay shirt Ash  :fag:

Shirt? it was  apale blue lacoste classic, cant beat it

Ok mate  :mrgreen:

Does it need to be that tight or did it shrink in the wash?  :D

Its called fitted Ralph, come back when you dont do your shopping at Primark

:mrgreen:

I have a very vast wardrobe actually mate  :D

let me guess, you wear white k-swiss trainers as well?  :D

nah never have and never will, white lacoste ones yesterday.

and it was a polo!

Gits

It was nearly as good as my Fred Perry polo and Ben Sherman jacket combo, topped off with my Billy Bowden hat 8)

What is wrong with K-swiss trainers? :roll:

Larwood's hat was better  :soapy tit wank:

Ash you have a foul mouth young man  :D

And you were very flash happy in the Spot last night!!

I've just remembered Ash breaking the chair in the garden. Happy days

That was well funny. My days.

I was sat on it and it got kicked, they caught my pint!

Was a messy day, sorry sade it wasnt me tho honest

Did we get thrown out of spot as well?

ash i just about remember being in the spot... then pipers?? but it ended up me and SW leaving the prince really late after everyone went elsewhere?

where did u go?

Um after speaking with dan and frost today we have pieced together yates flag and big fish (?!?!?! why oh why)

I dont remember much, pipers was funny and I have a video of us in prince singing to the verve the drugs dont work!

Ash you should lay off the reggae reggae sauce mate.

ha ha, I dont do any raggae raggae sauce....Just watered down beer

:mrgreen: Sorry if my high pitched screaming when we scored was a bit deafening ash. To be fair my sisters worse.

oh yeah, bloody hell that was loud.  A few lads were checking out her arse, personally your mums is better, ah ah JOKE!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Cheeky sod.

:D

What a day. We were right at the back behind the goal - perfect view. Atmosphere was stunnning. Was there some reason though why the Town End seemed to take so long to respond. Surely sound didn't travel that slowly across a football pitch?!

Also sat on the boundary rope and watched the cricket with a bottle of Newcastle Brown before kick-off. Days like that are bot to be missed.

From the looks of the videos, the time lag happened from the town ends perspective. definitely a case of sound taking time to travel

From the intel sounded like similar response time from each end. Top effort, reminded me of old days (except the view never used to be so good from the shrivvy road!) i'd forgotten how loud the town end could be.

Your still alive then Ben? :beers: (sambucha...i can still taste it :D )

My hat's from Australia,its lovely :D

As for Saturday :oops: sums it up for me i think,sodding Pimms!

Sade are you coing to Bristol next week,i've still not met you and i would like to before the season is out :)

I didn't really hear the singing cause i had my ear attached to a radio praying for Stockport to score :oops:

Drunk larwood, very funny.  :D

Drunk Larwood, part 2. On the train next Saturday  :nod:

Ha ha,yes looking forward to Saturday immensely :D Have to say though,drunk Larwood,very unfunny :oops:

I don't think Ralphy has ever seen a drunk woman before.

Dont be so daft

Every bird that he's ever shagged had to have been pissed !

My mother onbly had one glass of wine, I swear he spiked it

Do you reckon Ralphster got some action on Saturday then?

nah but he did friday, he posted all about it.

Question is si did you get any on sat? or did you pass out pissed up?

I stumbled away from the Furnace before I could get in (good job too).

I was in no fit state to be doing anything, so I saved myself a trip to Manchester Road.

Probably best dude

Yeah fuck knows what I caught last time.

You only want me to leave her alone so you can get in there. I see through your reggae reggae sauce inspired plan

Not my cup of tea mate.  Besides I am pratically taken by ralph  :D

My gammon, egg and chips just came back up.  :|

ha ha aceness!

This thread is wrong.

Yes larwood I think I am!!
Come and say Hi. I'd like to meet you too.
 :D

Hmmm thats weird! im pretty sure it was a bottle of Stella that you were drinking from.  :mrgreen:

Fantastic,if i see you i will stumble over,i might be drunk you see :oops: I'm so excited about Saturday,every time i think about it my heart beats a little bit faster  :D

Haven't you met larwood already sade?

We're in the terracing with DV larwood so you might be in a different stand to us.

We haven't met  :( Came close at Wycombe away this season though,almost bumped into her in the loos,but it wasn't to be.I'm in the seats Saturday so probably won't meet her this weekend either,crap!

It's not great meeting Sade. She just laughs at me. :x

Poor Dave :( Sure its nothing personal,she's proabably just laughing at your choice of clothing :wink:

:o I dress well (sometimes) 8)

You do 8) But lets remember Sade comes from a sartorial back water,unlike us :wink:

Is Didcot more aux fais with this sort of thing then? :D

everyone from Didcot glows from the effects of the power station

And people from West Oxon are inbred?  :o

:soapy tit wank: Yes we all glow,and are also tall :D

Not really Dave,very likely you'd have your scarf ripped off your neck by the bands of chavs that parade up the Broadway :wink:

My family are from Didcot... They're a bit strange so I do think there's something in the water there...

Because you make funny faces and your always drunkies:oops:

Larwood after the game, I will run on the pitch and come over to the other the stand and give you a hug  :mrgreen:

Is this like the time you said you'd go to Hereford on the minibus but didn't? I think it is

I think it is  :D
(I'd get beat up anyway if I ran on the pitch)

Anyway shut up simon just shut up.I know who you are now anyway. I could easily just come over and mess your hairstyle up.

Um isn't it already messed up?

I like your mum  :P

Yes. Thank fuck my family weren't born here...

neither were mine, ijust live there  :D

My mum was born in Chipping Norton, Dad was born in Wantage.

I was born at the John Radcliffe in Oxford!

Okay!
