Ziggy Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Can't see any thread on this.... maybe I missed it! But who explained the job description to the singing stand? I thought they were quite simply awesome on Saturday, especially in the 2nd half. An absolutely vast improvement on anything they have served up before, I mean, not only could you hear them but they were bl**dy loud & they actually encouraged the West stand upper to make an effort!!!!!! OK their repertoire needs some work, but all the training they have had is now clearly paying off ..... keep it up north stand, much strength to your vocal cords. I would be interested to hear (from the north stands 'strained' mouths) why there was such a sudden and amazing improvement? Apparently, even the gooners have commented on our new found vocal support. Brings back memories of Burnden & the Lever end / Burnden Paddock.
Traf Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 It's simple really. An upturn (temporary) in the weather and a later kick-off meant everyone was pretty well tanked by the time the game started. We scored first and we appeared to have a right good go at them in the 2nd half. Add all these together and there you go.

Apparently, even the gooners have commented on our new found vocal support. Brings back memories of Burnden & the Lever end / Burnden Paddock. it is quite sad that the gooners and many other southern fans have little knowlede of the passion that exist for BWFC, this is due to our chronic away support and the lack of amosphere we normally generated, they look at us as we look at watford, ie little club small time support with not a lot of passion for the club, and as for your second quote the support on saturday reminded me of the unwavering passionate loyalty from my youth when the Lever end belted out unbelievable noise and passion for BWFC whatever happened on the pitch, the Lever end was always up for a good old sing song, the lever end was the lung heart and soul that kept a small struggling club alive.
Chris T. Church Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 "Lever End" I do miss those seats covered in pigeon sh*t, still got my reserved sticker as a momento. Oh, the good old days - saw a glimpse of those times on Saturday with that atmosphere - well done North Stand.
MickyD Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Lever End . . . seats???? Think that was about the time everyone moved to other parts of the ground. The writing was on the walls the previous season or two when they put the double row of fencing down the middle. What was the point of giving the away team the advantage of having their fans inside the echo chamber. Maybe for that reason we ought to split the South Stand Upper and sell away teams the whole of the lower section first.
Carlos Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'm not sure why the "signing stand" is getting the credit, it looked to me in the ESL that the East and West were doing just as well, despite not needing a nobber with a drum to orchestrate them.
MickyD Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 And Lofty Junior to conduct! What the f?k is Lofty Junior about?

Guest as Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 The yoof in the ESL corner should be the ones getting arse-licked.....if it wasn't for them the stadium would be silent. Come on NSL - you got your cheap tickets - now try and sing for more than one solitary half wihout patting yourselves on the back
Guest ROFL Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Was it the whole north stand that was cheap or just the lower tier?

Manny Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 "Lever End" I do miss those seats covered in pigeon sh*t, still got my reserved sticker as a momento. If you miss it that much, you can swap seats with me if you want, it's always got bird shit on it!

Lever Ender in L.A. Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 sounded brilliant watching it over here in the local, but if we are to continue with the never ending chant, how about going back to the Lever End with one side belting out...WE ARE THE WANDERERS only to be answered with WE ARE THE WANDERERS from the other side......need an old timer to teach the young un's but that would sound great between the North Stand and the East Lower.......hey I'm stuck at Burnden..what can I say ?

Against Stoke the ESl were singing 'North Stand give us a song'.....they were met by silence so decided on a good rendition of 'the singing stand - you're having a laugh'. But, according to some on here, the North Stand are deafening now

But, according to some on here, the North Stand are deafening now sad to say, you cannot hear the ESL corner from the North stand, when all the ESL joins in twice a game you can be heard, thats why you got no reply at the stoke game, you could not be heard, and I aint trying to provoke an argument, just saying it as it is.
