Old faces at the well

Just wondering how many old faces have completely vanished at Oakwell. Been going since 1999 and sat in ponte end majority of the time. Even young lads my age as a kid I never see them any more and saw them for 10 years plus... how many people noticed it? Also love seeing the new faces and young lads growing up following us home and away...could quite easily follow sheff wed or even the usual teams Man Utd Liverpool etc

 

Ponty End

 

He was right first time lol

 

Its Ponte End.

 

Used to sit next a lad in ponty. Sadly passed away recently. Makes you realise going to a football match isnt just about going to see a football match.

 

I've not been a regular since 2004. Had a season ticket in the Ponty for nine seasons before that. I still reappear from time to time when geography allows it!

 

I read that with a silent 'e' . Pont end ? can't be reyt .

 

Taken from the official site:

Built in 1995, The South Stand is traditionally known as the 'Pontefract Road End' or 'Ponty End'.

 

I sit in the West stand and the usual faces are there year after year . That was until this year when we had an intruder from the East . Now he used to famous on the bbs. I know who he is, but he doesn't know that I know who he is, but I do .

 

Sounds like an episode of Friends !

 

It’s not silent ,Pont e fract

 

That’s why he/ she’s employed at a football club and not Dictionary Corner

 

Does the dictionary have our stand name listed?

 

Yes Pontefract Road End

 

Which dictionary are you reading?

 

Am jesting

 

So am I

It's the ora stand anyway

 

S

So is it “Ory end nar then?

 

Well in my world it's the Ponty end .
When I go to Donny I don't got Donne'.
When I go to Wakefield I don't go to Wake'
When I go to Skegness I don't go to Skege'
When I go to Scunthorpe I don't go to Scune'
Its bloody Ponty

 

Half of those don’t fit anyway it’s not called Skeg e ness or Don e caster .
It’s in the eye of the beholder but I’ll ignore you if you say ponty
