Whitestar Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 When the BWFC official website used to have message boards till it got removed, I once started a thread called Burden Faces and recalled a few of the legends that used to grace to old place, too many to mention but omg, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 When I used to be in the ESL corner there was a big lad who used to turn up wearing our fluorescent goal keeper tops every game. He'd just spend all game giving away fans grief. Played Liverpool one time and he went down to the concourse midway through the first half. Half the Liverpool fans started chanting "he's only gone for a burger". Not seen him since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizz Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Moaning old cunt 2 rows behind and lad about 18 that thinks he’s a comedian in ESL. Used to shout Wilson in a Tom Hanks Castaway style every time Lawrie Wilson was in earshot. Wilson actually used to smile and think ffs not again. He’s never shouted it to Mark Wilson yet.

Duck Egg Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Had a bloke a few rows behind me in the North lower who turned up with his young lad each week. "He's effing dog s*ht!" was his regular shout at Matt Mills and that was the milder stuff. We moved a bit further away a few seasons ago and then saw his pic in the BN after he'd been banned. Folk around us now are all pretty sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naytch Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 There’s a strange one a few rows down from me. Old bloke wearing 3 scarves and a flag round his shoulders at all times and a baseball cap with about 100 different BWFC badges on it. Bit eccentric but always shows passion to fair fucks to him.

ESL? Wears jam jar specs? I have a young bloke in front of me who gets incredibly worked up, punching and slamming the seat in front of him. He doesn't bother anyone else although the lass with him tends to look a bit embarrassed. As you say, fair play for showing a bit of passion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitestar Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Where ever you are home or away you always get the normal looking geezer that you've never seen before or ever will again that sounds like he's got the world's sorest throat when he bellows out just once and at the most random moment " COYWM!!!!".

Site Supporter HomerJay Posted January 27, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2019 owd chap behind. obviously never kicked a ball in his life as he expects every player to be world class. he is the most negative person ive ever had the please to listen to, and ironically i constantly moans at our negativity. EVERY pass backwards is a moan, playing one striker is a moan, not having an man up front for defending corners is a moan, booting it forward is a moan passing across the back line is a moan i dont think ive ever heard anything positive come from his mouth.

Kane57 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 There's an old bloke near me who, when he shouts, does this weird thing with his voice which makes it sound like he's underwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just remembered a chap who does something that really grates. He adds a superfluous 'the' to the "We are the one and only Wanderers" song. By about the 3rd time I heard him sing "We are the one and the only Wanderers" I was ready to punch his lights out. I've no idea why it bothers me so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted January 27, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2019 Erm I've always sang "We are the one and the only Wanderers", since like 1995. The song may have envolved now but that's how it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, We are is normally contracted to We're but "the" is definitely included in the way I and those around me sing it so maybe Duck Egg is the one swimming against the flow here. If we're talking about songs evolving though, I'm fairly sure that the song; "And it's Bol-ton Wand'rers. Bol-ton Wand'rers F C... The next line has now become "We're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. It used to be "We're by far the greatest, the world has ever seen. Back to thread though. My family and I spent a season in NSL when it was being marketed as the singing section. We sat just in front of the family from hell who would spend the match shouting "Offside ref!" even if the action was in the opposite half. I used to ask, "How the hell can you get such a great view of the offside from here whilst I am absolutely clueless about it?" Aggravated me to fuck. But not as much as the big-mouthed know-it-all who sits behind us now in the WSL. I've yet to hear him say anything at all in a positive way. I get that we're a bit shit at the moment but there are moments of reasonable play but he doesn't say a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I felt sorry for an old geezer what lived near me and stood on the Embankment for years with all his old mates at the same spot, turned it over to an away end in the mid 70s. and he gave over going again.
