Stand For 90 Minutes!

On Tuesday a good atmosphere is vital, we have to be the 12th man, just as Aidy says.

Not sure why, but I personally feel it adds an edge to it, being part of a crowd that stands for the whole 90 minutes and sings for the whole 90 minutes.

Stand, sing and support your team!

COME ON!

 

Totally agree with the need to be the twelfth man on Tuesday night but I'll have to be excused the standing bit. If I stand in the Upper Rous my rug will fall off my knees and knock my flask over, so I'll do my singing from sitting down.

Tommy Smith, Tommy Smith
Tommy, Tommy Smith
He gets the ball, he scores a goal
Tommy, Tommy Smith.

That would be nice!

 

Stand, lol.

Some of the people In the Upper Rous struggle to walk in to the ground unaided let alone stand for the game.

afanof where abouts do you sit, near Birdy?

 

Yes, that end of the stand.

 

If I stand for the full 90 minutes I won't be able to walk, I have got 2 dodgy knees which means I can't stand for a length of time.

I got the dodgy knees from a footballing injury when I was younger.

The play off semi final nearly cripped me as we stood for nearly the whole match.

 

A pint on tueday?

 

You buying?

 

Do you sit in the Upper Rous also?

 

My question was to afanof, but I will buy you one also.

 

will you buy me one too?

 

You don't sit in the Upper Rous

 

Looks like there's going to be a party in the Rous on Tuesday!

Thanks for the offer jobr but afanof doesn't exist outside the message board!

 

No I am in the Rookery stand

 

Ooom strange.

 

Jobr, pint and buying in the same sentence is unheard of....

 

lol, never slow to the bar me.

i will let you buy me one at the city of Manchester stadium

 

Will do fella, you know me, always willing to dip my hands into my pockets! Which pub are we taking over in Manchester then?

 

Don't know mate, having not been to the stadium before.

Any ideas

Anyone

 

I think it is down to everyone at the ground to get behind the team and sing and shout until they're hoarse, even if you do sit in the upper rous

 

I sit in the lower rous and its no better then the upper.

 

;D Thanks for the other jobr

 

depends on whether you want to be closer to the ground or in the city centre

 

Isn't the area around the ground awful?

Dont mind going in to ****** pubs for a pint, but I wat something to eat other than rat and chips fried in lard and covered in gravy.

 

mmmm.... rat burger.... that's half the fun of the day!

 

Not Northern rat burger, think of the disease.

 

stand ha how long have we been saying that as much as i would love all of us to stand and be the 12th man i just cant see it i may be wrong but theres only the odd few who stand the whole 90mins and sing

 

Will be interesting to see the green team's reaction to 7,000 people standing in the Rookery...are they going to chuck us all out?

 

and 1 in the Upper Rous, i can't wait.

Happy Days, again, more CCTV footage.

 

Lol Jon, i wonder what your little mate will think to Aidy's plea to stop dribbling and moaning and actually sing and encourage the team? He won't be happy...bless

 

Happy Days mate, can't wait Bit of luck he will jack after tomorrow night

 

the thing is there wont be 7000 people standing because there all scared of green team or stewards there might be about 15 people people standing as there normally is

 

jobr, just like any other place with more than 5 horses, theres a wetherspoon which is always good for a burger and beer, but around the northen quarter theres some nice eateries and pubs, which judgine by the one i went to last week, are tailor made for away fans.

 

Cheers fan, how far are these tailor-made venues from the ground? Within stumbling distance?

 

depends if you're stumbling on a bus or not.

 

Is there anywhere half decent within walking distance?
