...who looked like Mr Magicka? He used to rock back'ards and for'ards on the rail and clap at random intervals. And he used to shout 'Forwards!' as an instruction to the players, again at random intervals. Early 90s it was I think. Actually, thinking about it now, he was clearly autistic or something. Wonder if he still goes.
and Refman - about gangway 2 must have been row P or summats about seat 50 - 60. constantly berated the ref, really hated referees. i mean REALLY REALLY hated referees. came out with lots of lead balloon comments about the refs at the top of his voice, constantly - much to everyones amusement! a complete oddball , think he still sits there. mentalist
refman is a fecking........ .........genius. How he didn't spontaneously combust during the Willard "exhibition" is beyond me. Actually, how I didn't spontaneously combust that afternoon is still a slight mystery.
Were you also the guy who sat at the end of row GG 140+ who was constantly dancing to imaginary tunes?</p> Looked like he had indulged in some recreational drug use b4 every home game.</p>
RE: Were you also the guy who sat at the end of row GG 140+ Nah not me, I'm perfectly sake. Booyakashaa.
Stuppa,I've heard that they are all strange in the ponty end, not like us gentlemen in the upper west.ff
or the guy who was sat next to me at the brentford home match who looked badly throughout the first half, was then sick in his hands after about 35 minutes, sick into his feet after 40 minutes and then left at half time?
Sick I like the fact that the guy was sick into his hands, but hung around another 10 minutes until half-time anyway. Thats dedication! Where did he wipe his hands?
the new ponty Ah, well this was back in the days of the old Ponty, when the wind whipped up through the holes in the back of the stand and froze everyone to death, when you had to stand. They're all posh in the Ponty now its seated. Its brandy, cigars, and FTSE talk in there nowadays. No room for Mr Magicka anymore.
Sorry about that, it was me Puked into my hands and then on my shoes a couple of times managed to get rid of most of it by wiping my hands on the lad next to me
I remember him I was only young at the time, and at first I thought he was giving instructions to th bench (if only) He stood at the front of the ponty, and made all sorts of bizare gestures and hand signals to somebody or something that he believed to be watching him There is also Rat Man and Heap. 2 legends of 90's Oakwell Rat Man If a rat grew to 5ft3 and stood on 2 legs, it would look like this man. I remember me and Bro went on the supporters coach to Grimsby in the early 90's. We were the last ones on the coach and ended up sat apart. Bro sat next to Rat man, and claimed that he stank, made wierd noises, and needed a good wash. On the way back we sat together on the seats behind Rat Man and punched his chair for pretty much the entire journey home He had/has a crappy, whispy but longish beard, longish unwashed hair. He's also a scrawny looking little f**ker Heap The worlds fattest man. Clearly a massive beer monster. Bearded and proud.
RE: I remember him rat man,f**k me i think we are thinking of the same fella in the very late 80"s early 90"s he used to be a steward in the ponty ,used to watch the reds away all the time and wore a plaster on the hole on the top of his shoe and always took sarnies with him.</p> disclaimer........please bear in mind if my messages make no sense whatsoever that is because im very very drunk.....thankyou</p>
RE: REFMAN Mid forties? thin with light brown hair? Wakefield/Leeds accent? Its got to be him! Ive sat near him at quite a few away matches and hell probably be there this afternoon. He came up to us at Walsall last season after we drew 2-2. We made the mistake of acknowledging him and he went in to one about referees. I also had a big argument walking away from Oakwell about Mike Sheron and his apparent appreciation of him. Definately unhinged that man!
RE: the new ponty We used to refer to it as The Ponty Fridge! Didn't matter how warm a day it was, it was always bloody freezing in the Ponty!
RE: I remember him Rat man sat behind us in the East Stand about 1996-98. He listened to the Radio and gave constant feedback on how other clubs were doing. His sound effects were quite entertaining.</p> I think the lad in the Ponty was called Simon.The Police were regularly going to kick him out of the ground until they realized he didn't fire on all Cylinders.He was harmless enough though. Not seem him for a few years now.</p> </p>
RE: I remember him simon is he the lad that had a look of john aldridge about him?,if it is,me and some of my mates once sparked him out by accident during the leeds cup match in 1991,when john deehan cracked in the equalising goal we all went a bit mental at the bottom of the ponty when everyone had calmed down,we saw simon laid out near the wall,the stewards and st john's folk carried the poor sod out on a stretcher..............soz simon
