    I though "**** " was Steve Lowndes's name until I bought a program once. Kelvin never called the players by their real names.

    What about "Refman"? Still see him regularly but haven't had been in ears reach.

    Is he still as bad?

    Me and a few of the lads had a season tickets for 3 years at back row of ponty end central. There was this feller that popped up every now and again a few rows in front to the side whose only contribution to the crowd, no matter how we were playing was: "get behind thi tearm", "Were Barnsley, we dunt gi backards we gu forrerds"... One day i challened him as to why he was critising a player as he was pissing everyone off, the player being Marcus Pedersen i believe, who was having a good game at the time and he turned around and said "Tha a reyt supporter, thee!"

    Everytime therafter we saw him we would shout at him "Tha a reyt supporter thee". And that became his nickname.

    Doubt thats in anyone interest but a story me n lads all remember. Comes up in banter sometime.

    When we used to sit wi kel n ash at reserve games ont twell, Kel used to give the oppositions coaching staff some right grief. Shouting at em they were fuckin useless ***** when they played during their careers. But his forte' was letting out the largest belch in the British isles. It would be that quiet int ground people in lundwood would say, that's kel.

    There’s a couple around where I sit.

    One is a woman who shouts “forward” whenever our defenders have the ball too long for her liking. Then there’s “killer” which is a guy who shouts “kill him *insert player name*” when the opposition have a player running into our final third.

    Used to sit next to a bloke we'd call "one-nil". Every time we had a free kick or corner played into the box he would shout "one-nil!". This was regardless of the current scoreline.

    What about him that stands at the bottom west corner of the ponty shouting "C'mon Barnsley". He only really seems to do it when the ground is silent, it doesn't matter what the score is, he does it in the same mellow tone every time, probably around 6/7 times a game. It always gives me a giggle.

    Before we knew Kelvin's proper name he was 'World's Sweariest Man'.

    Preston away a couple of seasons back and a gentleman stood up the whole game absolutely s***faced, shouting "Houri-HANA Houri-HANA eh eh eh Houri-HANA". Always see him in the concourse and can't help but laugh.

    I once did quite a few articles on it for Better Red Than Dead.

    Perfect pie Man who could hold and eat 3 pies during half time covered in sauce without getting any on his face and without spilling any.

    Mick Clarke’s Dads who back in the day thought the solution to any problem came in the unlikely form of Mick.Later morphed into Shirtlifters brother who whenever Danny’s side ran into a bit of trouble shouted get Shirty on.

    At the minute. I have Mucky Mick the racist Dad. He is quite the hit in the family stand leading his kids into various half arsed chants between outbursts of casual racism. The kids about 7, 9and 10 love him but you can tell in a couple of years time they will be seething with embarrassment at his very name.

    I used to stand with Kelvin and Ashley but don't recognise any of those descriptions as fitting me as my beard was brown not white. Father Christmas could have been Pete the farmer though I seem to remember someone with a whiter beard than is. Fred could have been the Undertaker as he liked a moan. We also had occasional visits from Fudge as he wandered round the ground :)

    We must have stood near to each other because we had similar nicknames for some of those characters.

    Well we've certainly known each other a long time so probably did.

    Forgot about someone we used to call Terry McDermott because of his perm and moustache - and also "Boy George without makeup"

    We had a fella in the West lower that we used to call “Speed it up” as that’s all he’d ever shout even if we were playing well, another one he did was shout at the oppositions manager “You’ll never make it in the game *insert name*. “ it raised a laugh when he shouted that at Alex Ferguson when we played them in the cup all those years ago.
