slow times, just seen this question on twitter thought I’d stick it in here, it really is that bad...

Does anyone else have nicknames for people they see at the match whose name they don't know? 

Jimmy Hill sits on the Lofthouse Lower near me, 

 

and when i say a cross, it;'s heavily weighted in the favour of freddy boswell

Wouldn't be surprised if Leo Sayer was me.

Chumlee from Pawn Stars is the guy that was on a video getting shit at a recent away match.

Old bloke in ESL on half way. Has this weird warbling voice when he shouts that makes him sound like he's underwater. 

 

Known as Aquaman

😂

Suffice to say the first away game after this horrible mess is concluded ... It's going to be one hell of a piss up & catch up.

We might even let Lord Farquar here join us in the cheap seats! 😉

Row K East Lower, "shaking like a shitting dog". So incandescent with rage, he regularly starts to shake. 

My mate knows him, says he's a nice fella otherwise.

Sounds a bit long winded for a nickname - couldn’t you just shorten it to Shakey or summat?😂

Know exactly who you mean

Chap used to be in the ESL we called The Gaffer, because he shouted wonderful encouraging tactics like Fuckin hell do something. Cmon and bloody hell whites. No matter the score or how we were playing

What about the 'wing stand mafia' at Burnden😀

 

when I was in the east lower near nobhead corner, we had John Motson sat behind us as he spent most of the match on the phone to his dad giving him match commentary

There's a bloke next to the three of us, all been in the same seats for years. He mentioned that he goes out running occasionally so he's been known as the running man for at least a decade.

elmer fudd 😁 I wonder if he's still alive.

There was this one guy who used to go to games and we called him 

RUREADY2ROLL

but i’ve not seem him for ages. 😁

There used to be a bloke sit in front of me. Spitting image of Mr. Logic (Viz-ism),  Used to wear a long bench coat summer and winter with the B in Reebok scratched out.

No firm ever took the Wing Stand. 

We have ‘angry man’ sat behind us. Gets so angry so quickly. To be fair goes everywhere away too and is a nice guy apart from the 90 minutes. 
 

Then just along there is Flagman or badge man depending on how we feel. 

Two Dads. A regular WWays poster with a hyphenated surname 

brain tickler used to sit near me in east lower a good few years ago, 

every match without fail he used to have his fingers so far up his nose 

Was once in the Burnden Paddock in the last 80s when Ray Deakin did a backpass that hit his own bar & a few people in the crowd started singing "Deakin for England".  This weird bloke who used to stand near us nearly burst a blood vessel & shouted "Deakin couldn't play for Malta" - which is still his nickname between me & my mate to this day. Still see him walking around Bolton.

Also, his equally weird mate is still known to us as "green socks".

 

 

Why?

Bus driver

A chap in the 80s & 90s who you'd always see at Burnden in his brown GM Buses uniform.  He must have wangled something with his bosses for time off as I used to see him at away games too.

Last saw him around the time we left Burnden and I said to my mate, quietly I thought, "Hey up, bus drivers here" only for him to shout at me

"I've not worked on the buses for bloody years!"
