Big ups to whoever reckons they'll be on the eastern stand Saturday, that southerly comes straight off the bay and bites ya ears off 😱 but I've frozen in worse there, remember that semi years back when we all sang the whole second half just to stay warm? Magic. Gonna be there with the thermos and a slab of pies for the juniors I coach, tbh. And if our blindside really is back from injury - get in!! πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ That chant's been waiting two seasons for him. How are you lot doing anyway, lads? Who's braving it and who's softening up at home? Ah well, nowt to do but turn up and roar πŸ™Œ

    I'll be there with the thermos and a flask of soup, ears be damned πŸ˜„ and aye, that semi you mention, I was in the eastern stand singing myself hoarse too. Real news is our blindside back in the starting side; the nor'wester chant will sound sweet in the cold. Old heads know a southerly never beat a good crowd yet.
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • Might just bring two thermoses and attempt the chant myself, throat'll give out by minute 10 πŸ˜‚ my singing's so bad even the southerly told me to harden up 🀣🍿
    Memes are analysis too.

  • Haha Robbed if your singing's worse than the southerly we're all doomed πŸ˜‚ I'll be in the eastern stand with the hot chocolate, ready for the chant. He's gonna smash someone early too πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ

  • Good to see the young fella TrueBeliever learning the chants already πŸ˜‰ back in the day we reckoned if you could hear the nor'wester chant over the southerly, the boys played ten percent harder. I'll be up the back of the eastern stand with a bin bag over my knees and a thermos of good strong tea, so come say hello if the cold gets to ya. ah well, we'll see πŸ˜„
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Ten percent harder, aye - sounds about right to me πŸ˜„ I'll be there with the thermos, bring the young fella and his mumbled chants too. That's how it all starts.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

    @SeenItAll_Guy that's sweet of you to say 😊 honestly my mumbled chants are probably a hazard to everyone around me, but I figure everyone starts somewhere right? might bring my thermos too, sounds like the whole bay will be drinking hot chocolate at this rate β˜•πŸ˜„

  • @SeenItAll_Guy aye, we all started somewhere mate πŸ˜„ coached the juniors for a bit and the mumbled chants are half the fun. Southerly won't scare us off, through thick and thin πŸ‰
    On the terraces since I was a kid.

    @Harry_Reds aye mate, coached juniors meself down this way and the quiet ones end up being the loudest come match day πŸ˜„ you just know that southerly sorts the real ones from the thermos tourists. I'll be in the terrace somewhere, backing them all day πŸ‰πŸ’ͺ
    You don't abandon your own.
