Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Sounds cracking!

Was in the green man, wasnt too bad itself.

Wish i'd gone there now. Almost total participation in the sing-song there, if only we'd bottled this and released it at Wembley Stadium.

i was in the pub next door which was pretty good.shame in the ground(when it mattered)we were a joke

I was in there, great atmosphere, I was buzzing when I left. The day pretty much went downhill from when I left there.

Millwall fans smashed the windows, etc afterwards apparently... I was on the train home by then though

That is brilliant! Can we sing this at the CG next season please.

Cheers

PHIL!!!!

Went to the greyhound which was shit incomparison.

Fucking annoyed i didn't bother with the green man too.  My day was a complete let down from 10.30 onwards

in there from 10.30  :D i'm in that vid too!

Count yourself lucky you got some good memories of our first day at wembley for 17 years.

Haaa, i saw you and was like Shit! thats westcountry! :D

Here's mine...  :D :D :D

I've got a few more shorter ones from JJ Moons too.

its clear everyone was buzzing, which makes it all the more of a shame that it all went to shit...err pretty much as soon as the ball was kicked for kick off.

Embarrassing the lack of red shirts in there? Not wearing your colours for the biggest game in seventeen years is almost as bad as not singing up in the stadium.

Some of you should take a long hard look at yourselves etc.

Not everyone likes to wear a shirt. I'm a season ticket holder and I don't even own one. People do football in different ways. Not everyone's a "shirter".

That's the way it should be. If some old bloke in the Arkells wants to sit and read the programme I'm not gonna slag him off for not being rowdy enough!!! There's room for a bit of variation.

How many of these non red wearing fans were complaining about the decision to wear white I wonder?

I'd rather we had 8,000 fans all turning up to wembley wearing red and the others can stay at home. I suppose you think it's ok to turn up to a town match wearing yellow and blue do you?

i stopped wearing shirts when hair started growing in strange places  ??? :D
i did wear a red t shirt under my jacket however, just for wembley- never again. it doesnt make me any more/less of a fan for what i wear. stfc runs through my viens and some of those people with their brand new 442 shirts are just kidding themselves.

haha I dug out my '93 burmah kit by loki especially for the day  8)

Wonder how many people thought "oooh its millwall, better not wear any colours"

The only people who can call themselves true fans:
(a) stood up and sang at wembley
and
(b) wore red to wembley



Michael Jackson circa 1988 does not count though :sherlock:

i wore blue

Wore my white shirt since we were playing in white...

Plagarist do you have any awareness of football casual culture at all?

For a lot of lads they don't want to wear the shirt and the scarf. To some they might see at as a cheesy or more "family" thing to do. And a lot of the non-shirt wearing fans sing the loudest at matches.

I assume you don't sit in the town end?

If someone has the shirt, the scarf, the mug and the calender does that make them more of a fan?

Don't get me wrong here I know a lot people wear shirts and that's fine - there's nothing wrong with that. But you have to accept some people just aren't into shirt wearing. It's not the way they choose to do football.


Oh and believe me it's nothing to do with the fact they want to tone it down cos it was millwall! What's more likely to attract trouble, a group of town lads dressed in smart casual wear - lacoste, stone island, fjall raven, fred perry etc etc polo shirts and caps and that OR a group of town fans in their shirts and scarves??

You might have thought the latter but it's not true.

Got a season ticket in the town end. Although there is obviously a lot of people in the town end with shirts, there is a hell of a lot in the townend without, that i see every week, and that start alot of songs. Especially just to the right of the tunnel, where i stand every home game, and your right; Just because you dont wear a shirt doesnt meen your not a true fan. Wembley was the only time i've worn a shirt all season.

I have. And I stand in the same place.

Altho I assume the comment was aimed at someone else? Cos you're just echoing my point anyway.  :D

Was kind of agreeing with you! :D

FFS, let's not start this again. We'll have a fanbase of 4 at this rate

It's only opinions mate, and mine is you dont have to wear a shirt to be a real fan.

Crispy my whole post which you quoted was aimed at Plagarist should have made that clearer probably. I wasn't saying you weren't aware of the culture or didn't sit in the town end etc.

Anyway!! I should post up another JJ Moons vid.  :D

you're bang on I don't sit in the town end mate, if I wanted to sit down and enjoy the view I'd be up in the intel or the arkells!

thanks for the crash course introduction to casual culture though, is your name danny dyer  :nod:

I think Plagiarist might be saying this tongue in cheek, parodying the other thread about vocal support  ;)

 My last shirt was the 95/96 promotion season, make do with my grubby scarf from '92 to indicate my allegiances these days.

it appears i'm not a fan as i didn't wear red. i shall bow out gracefully and go support reading or someone equally as plastic.

oh and my sister wore red and sung but hasn't been since she was 6 and is now 24.
Clearly she is a bigger fan than me going by your post.

just my opinion buddy - don't stop going to football on account of it

best fishing ever

catch much?

fuck off you fucking plastic etc

you can afford to spend £60 on watching some moany welsh sellouts you can afford to get down the town end four times a season instead

Huh?  :hmmm:

i prefer to sit down in silence so arkells tickets are too expensive

I did actually think that might be the case. It can be a bit annoying tho "oh I'll post from a point of view that isn't actually my own just to get a rise out of someone"  ::).

Sarcasm can be hard to detect on the internet.

haha I dug out my '93 burmah kit by loki especially for the day   

Wonder how many people thought "oooh its millwall, better not wear any colours"

The only people who can call themselves true fans:
(a) stood up and sang at wembley
and
(b) wore red to wembley
Surely if you vocally get behind the lads then you are a supporter?
I never have worn a shirt it is just a personal thing vocally i am singing at every game
with the new supporters that will come along i know 2 young lads that from now on are going to support the town instead of the dreaded top 4
Surely we have to encourage them not slag them off as they have not got a shirt

It was awesome atmosphere in JJ Moons before, ended up the highlight of the day in the end sadly.

Yeah it was definitely the best part of my day.

No, we're going to have full-on fan police at the first home game and anyone who doesn't fit the strict criteria of the TEF elite will be taken out behind the Arkells and given a serious seeing to. Like that bit in The Wall where nasty Pink directs the blackshirts pulling members of the crowd out via spotlights. Except with redshirts and flammableBen in the Pink role.

Completely agree. I had an amazing day in there, it's just a shame the day couldn't carry on like it though.

has anyone got any greenman vids, i took loads on my mobile but my memory card is fucked, they did a mean cheese burger in there  :D

Anybody who took this post seriously needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

I wore red, but didn't stand up. Does that make me a part time fan?

hmm me too!

superb, cheers, shame about the result oh well :beers: :(

Yes.

Oh :(

you are either the biggest wind up merchant or the biggest tool i have ever met....i can't work out which.

he was on the wind up

He's both.

There are a couple of plastic Swindon Gooners in that video who were brought along, jumping around to the 69 song.

And not anyone who has ever posted on here, before some get upset!

That song is superb.

The whole of the townend going ''oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh'' would sound great.

That song always reminds of that Donny away game, Iffys first in charge and that ace picture (does anyone have that anywhere) in the adver the next day of about 50 of us all in mid song.

took the words straight outta my mouth

gullible to say the least


sheesh

i have it somewhere. i love that shot.

I am not going to even bother rising to that, I can see 20/30 of my mates in that video, most who whom have travelled the corners of this country supporting the town.  The only thing I will say is those lads have gone in the back of a transit van with sofas to get 12 of us to away games, got on a 7am train to Carlisle to watch us on a Tuesday night away and given up many wages and girlfriends for this club.  Just because we do not wear shirts and scarfs doesnt mean we arent fans.  So get fucked....

Just realised I have raised to the bait but I was proud,emotional, joyous, happy and every other emotion in that pub! Just hope it doesnt take another 17 years to experience it!

Good videos lads, email them over to me if you can

Ps - Doncaster away was one of my favourite all time away games!

he wasn't serious.

I realise that, I am just putting my thought's across. 

same as, will always remember that game!

fair enough, everyone else bit  :)

On stroooooooood's fb...

It's only just dawned upon me (thanks whits), but i don't have a fucking clue where i was pre-match, which must explain why i was so pissed. That'll fucking teach me for not drinking since Christmas Eve.

The first time I met KOT (Mex).......Donny away Midweek......Lost 1-0 ?

ditto

was amazing night. especially fixing your light bulb.............wrongly

DOB yeah lost 1.0. Iffy's first game in charge

haha, i'd forgotten that little detail - didn't you put it in upside down? i miss those away trips

[url width=900 height=419]http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/jehst/donny.jpg[/url]

a higher res pic for you all. it's a little game of spot the TEFer

i think i did. he had to take it to the garage to fix !! OOPS

The lack of red shirts in that is embarrassing, you should all jump off a cliff

I was fucking freezing that night, drove up in my hairdressers car with the roof down with adje playing billy bragg, pulled up in the donny car park and the look the pensioner car park attendant was one of "southern wankers".

The guy in the black right at the back, looks like Harris from the Football Factory film! a Teffer?

Although I don't know any of you, i'm in that photo at the back (not Harris).  Seem to remember is was a shit game but good atmosphere.  Glad I went before they knocked it down.

Right click it and select "save picture as" then save it on your PC.

Cheers!

who's who in that pic then?

I think I can see Strooood, Mex, DV, Spencer White and Whits.

That's the Undertaker.

That is me just in front of the Undertaker........trying to sing.

Picture just looks like a load of cunts singing......Millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. :doh:

kinky tom is next to whits, i'm between mex and dv. i can't see where magicroundabout is but he was definitely with us!

kyle lapham and comyn-platt are both in there too

someone get that on fb and start tagging.

I remember that, Mex turned to CCP(?) and asked him 'when are you getting a game' 'probably never' 'thank fuck for that!' supporter of the year my arse!

As for Teffers on there.

Kinky Tom, Whits, Me, Sonic, Mex, Magic, Adje, Asher, Dex and Spencer. Although you can only see the top of Magic and Adje's head.

good god I look a right fucking state.

hahaha i had forgotten i said that to comyn platt, i was fucking right though!!

Halcyon days indeed-fuck Wembley!

You should see us on the train back!

The Norwegian crew was at J J Moons after the game with our small flag, but of course - it wasn't as noisy as before the game!
