Tis a sad day indeed. I feel dead inside. :sad1: Lets remember the good times, the 2000 mascot grand national for example, the youtube video appears to have gone though.
Harry Hornet As mentioned on the Plymouth reaction thread, I think the club have accidentally stumbled on a way to get a bit of an atmosphere going. His antics yesterday were giving everyone a bit of a laugh, and I think took the edge off of the nerves people had by popping up randomly and banging his drum out of time. Bl**dy hell, even the Vicarage Road end were louder than I've heard in many years, about time. Best chant of the day from the Rookery, "one song, you've only got one song". Keep it up, it definately works, it's worth it for the comic value alone. The atmosphere has been 100% improved in the last 2 games since he started his antics, no coincidence about the results? One sour note, once again the green team did everthing they possibly could to stop the one man show. Someone have a word, PLEASE.
I remember back when we were seated in the whole of the Vic Rd end, Harry used to be a big influence then even running on the pitch to celebrate goals. Keep up the good work. Anyone remember the bog roll/confetti season when we litterally covered the place at every home game. Good times
I can't seem to understand why they take the drum off Harry, we used to have a drummer at the top of the Rookery and that never seemed to cause any problems. And it was nice to see that the Rookery wasn't the only one making some noise yesterday, the Rous did a rather special rendition of yellow army that lasted about 5 seconds.
Is this true about removing the drum? If so, there should be calls to Danny Kelly at Talksport, a "Let Harry bang where he likes" Facebook campaign, letters to the WO, questions asked of the election candidates and a bloody big complaint directed to Julian Winter and Graham Taylor. Harry's a very amusing (currently) club icon and whoever is controlling the Elf and Safety Jobsworths should be exposed as a twit of the highest order.
All joking aside if the freaks in Green are having a negative affect instead of sounding off on here a carefully constructed email to the powers that be highlighting the issue will probably go to show they have no idea what is going on.
Its cos the club want you to pay good money, to sit there like good little children, pay through the nose for garbage grub and watch a team assembled on the cheap, play absolute dross.
Agree for some reason Harry has come out of his shell(or costume!) in the last couple of games and helped improve the atmosphere. But the stewards are just getting worse doing their best to kill any semblence of fun. Another thing why do they stand right on the exit stairs as people are filtering out of the ground just blocking the way out and causing a bottleneck effect. When this is pointed out to them they look at you as if you are scum. If I could get away with it I would shove them out the way hopefully knocking them to the floor and knocking out some teeth. Rant over.
And the good performances could be encouraged by the improvement in atmosphere - difficult to tell really.
Someone on the match thread stated that the drum is "on a 30 minute rental from a music shop" Maybe that was a joke i missed.. or, if true, could explain why the drum was "confiscated"?
That's funny Admin because I read that chant as an ironic one from the Rookery - I swear I heard: "one song, WE'VE only got one song." after Harry played the same beat on his drum Harry is a LEGEND and I agree with all those who criticised his atrocious treatment by the jobsworth canuting barstewards
i see your boys got an excellent 3-0 win yesterday, well done - hope to see you back at the vic with the U's next season - anything to keep the dirty Leeds away.
Well, there was a female steward walking away with it (going from the lower Rous towards the new bit that's there, then down the steps), I'm assuming she'd confiscated it? Had to sit in the bottom left Rookery v West Brom and Plymouth, saw her walking away with it.
I liked Harry appearing with his drum. He should appear randomly all around the stadium, so no one knows where he will appear next beating his drum, even out of the directors suite
Get Graham Taylor chanting away with Julian Winter to the beat of "Yellow Army." If you got God doing it, then the whole stadium would feel compelled to join in. Maybe that's where Harry should be based...
