Lancashire teams used to sing 1. 4 2. 4 who the hell are we for then spell the name of their team out.
Yes.. two great big speakers in the Ponty and stewards are a new thing. Always police, numbers depending on who we were playing.
Entry to social club via side door at back of ponte. Usually missed first five minutes of second half...and quite a few goals.
"Can you hear the (insert name of team) fans sing - no'oooo Can you hear the (insert name of team) fans sing - no'oooo Can you here the (insert name of team0 fans sing, I can't hear a f***ing thing O'ooooo, 'o'oooo" and also "In the (insert name of team) slums They look in the dustbin for something to eat They find a dead rat and they think it's a treat In the (insert name of team) slums"
It was all the same song but the tune changed for the second part. I think the tune for the first part was O Christmas tree. Don’t know the name of second tune
I remember strong smell of linament they used to cover their legs in - used to stand in West Stand and it was really strong. Do you think any away fans went home in a Barnsley ambulance?
Half time used to last 10 minutes. Most of that time was spent moving from the Ponty to the Kop or vice-versa. In the days of the Grandstand tele-printer (a Telex machine) the results would start coming in at 5:40 or so. Not from Oakwell though we were one of a handful of clubs who kicked off at 3:15, 5 minutes after the pubs shut.
