Title: Re: Umbrellas Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 08:56:44 Getting soaked on the Bank is a rite of passage...or at least it used to be. Remember nearly dissolving once when played Watford. David James was in goal for them. Might have been this game.

I feel 'validated' as a man now, having said the same thing to the missus 30 minutes before reading this, while digging out my previously unused clear poncho :-) Title: Re: Umbrellas Post by: red socks on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 09:37:17 No. It'll drip on other people and they'll call you a cunt. A dry cunt though. Actually maybe a damp one. I'll get my coat.

Was always a source of wonder to me, in the days when you could still walk around all the CG wraparound terrace, that even when pissing it down, there'd be fellas on the Bank in their capes, rather than walk around under the Shrivenham Road roof.
These blokes of course, had often cycled to the match from the Works, and left their bikes around the back of the Bank...no rain got through a decent cape and leggings. Title: Re: Umbrellas Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 10:17:56 Umbrellas are for gayers

And their bikes didn't get pinched either Reg!!!!These blokes of course, had often cycled to the match from the Works, and left their bikes around the back of the Bank...no rain got through a decent cape and leggings.

Title: Re: Umbrellas Post by: Uncletrunx on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 11:50:07 Would you be allowed an umbrella? Wouldn't they take it away in case you start a riot or something?
Either way, I vote for manning up and getting wet. You won't care if they win and if they lose it'll match the mood! Title: Re: Umbrellas Post by: Uncletrunx on Saturday, April 28, 2012, 11:52:48 (I reserve the right to wear a homosexual hat though)
