Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: janaage on Monday, October 24, 2005, 08:58:43 Although before most matches over the last two/three years the merlin has been my pre match venue I must admit I haven't been there for every game.
I was wondering whether Kinky Tom or other "song starters" have ever tried getting any songs going in there? A la the Springbok at QPR? Or are there any plans for such an event? KT do you accept your challenge? Maybe before the City match? Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: McLovin on Monday, October 24, 2005, 08:59:59 It was a bit quiet, yes. Lots of Scunny too.
Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: janaage on Monday, October 24, 2005, 09:03:21 Must have been nearly 50/50 split in their at one stage. Fair play to the Scunts.

I may not be in the Merlin being as it's a Friday night, I'd have to take the afternoon off work and persuade my dad that we should get there early, that would also depend on what he will be doing during the day.

Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, October 24, 2005, 17:22:44 We were close to starting the chanting when Forest were in there this season. We had about 20 near the door and were thinking of a chant, but there were so many of them that you worry you'll get embaressed once they respond. Best just to leave it quiet and not provoke.
Town would always have a chant whenever we got those sorts of numbers anywhere though. You've got to let the locals know you've arrived. Were thinking if raising the shout in their supporters bar in Doncaster (with 8 of us), that would have set the pulse going a bit. As for City, doubt there will be many of them in the Merlin. Was 70 per cent Swindon for the LDV and League matches last season. They seem drink in particular bars, always loads of them in the Savoy. Usually a few up Old Town.

You still going up Old Town way for the pre match City drinking?, did you speak to Dave at all recently about it?. Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, October 24, 2005, 19:26:24 Yes mate. Will start to spread the word after Boston.
Dave's always hungover to fuck whenever I see him, so dont really bother talking about stuff 2/3 weeks in advance. Had a chat with two of your other mates in the CGH. Was getting excited about a good FA Cup trip, but we'll get one next round. :nod: Dont fancy Mythr Tydfil though. :run: Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Spud on Monday, October 24, 2005, 19:29:44 Quote from: "Spencer_White" Yes mate.

In a word. Mess.
None of them travelled to Brentford. Shame, we had a decent turnout and a top day. http://www.magix-photos.com/mediapool/E7/48/49/80/EA/5E/11/D9/A7/F5/D8/12/3E/FE/8E/07/10/947EC7E043B111DAA0149FC43EFE9B6B.jpg Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Spud on Monday, October 24, 2005, 19:57:44 He said to me he was going to go to Brentford but i suppose he changed his mind after the Port Vale defeat. I was looking forward to going to Brentford aswell. :(

Anyway our lot is purely blokes who either wear the clobber to look smart and go on the piss after the game and/or blokes who have enough sense to see Football Violence is http://67.18.37.16/525/186/emo/dead.gif It was 10 to 3 so everyone in the pub left to go to the game at McDons. I spose to them it looked like a massive mob, but it was just the pub emptying out. We can pull 25 though. http://67.18.37.16/525/186/emo/sneaky.gif Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: janaage on Tuesday, October 25, 2005, 08:10:06 Not that I'm into that sorta thing and this may be a very silly question but is it gonna kick off down town after the city match?
I'm gonna get in il Merlinho nice and early for that one. Can't wait.

Doubt it. City and Swindon will be outnumbered massively and diluted by the number of von dutch wearing, non football caring revellers that Swindon seems to produce in thousands. And I doubt there will be an organised meet cos all the ones who are banned seem to want to try and forget about football as much as they can. Might be interesting though, I suppose. New territory in derby/drinking terms. Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 13:59:44 Spencer White, Can you post a better copy of that photo you have I'm sure I'm it but can't quite make me out. or you can email me it?
:soapy tit wank: Title: The Merlin - Pre Match Atmosphere Post by: Spencer_White on Thursday, November 24, 2005, 17:29:26 Thats the best there is, shitty camera phone. Just right click and copy it.
You've got your jumper round your waist, very centre of the pic. And as a postcript to City trouble, Swindon youth had a great turnout and showed up City youth big time. Nice pre match Merlin atmosphere too. :soapy tit wank: |
