Party in the Ponny?

Quoted from 1600

Cheers lads.

marinerian thanks wow, seen your tales on here too you've got some crackers, bet you've got a lot more to tell too !

So you think we could return back to old days ?
Town promotion, standing areas, pontoon bootboys return etc ?

Think you'd get as much stick now ?
Like to think you wouldn't...

Would love to see you and a whole load of you old boys (no offence  ) come back and lead the way again.

wooooo sparrow, I am only 31, Pontoon Boot boys well before my time. Talking like that will get Doddsy all excited....I am a gobby twit, though do have a few tales but nothing to naughty to be honest, just boozy antics before the policing of games became so stupid, that 24 hours before and after a game, you can be arrested for a football offence  

I don't think the old days will return and to be fair (not that I ever saw that much trouble) it is probably best they don't. We need to move forward, create safe standing. Create a sense of respect between fans, stewards and police too.

I do get stick but also have a lot of respect from many. Had stewards thank me for my sense of humour. Thomas Myrer (former Everton and Tranmere Keeper) shook my hand and thanked me and a few others for our banter....he had a right laugh with us, a true gent too  

Maybe the trust could try and encourage a Mariners football singing group together.

I do think the right hand side of the Pontoon would be the best side for the singers. The kids need to start behaving too and not goading the safety staff or they will never gain respect.

Ooops sorry mate, I'm far older then you !  

Yeah I agree with you, was thinking of the chants and the passion tbh.

Talking of which, was gonna go to bed but clicked on that great link thinking it was GCB.

Tell you what you're right, it's not just "Greasy chit butty" that's too fast, they're all flipping 100mph !!!  

Off to bed now, catch you all later...

I think the singing needs to be toned down and no so forceful. Let the songs flow naturally, without being in peoples faces. I think this is when people get their backs up. I have been guilty of doing the same in the past as often some of us get a bit to enthusiastic  

For me getting the fans in the right hand corner, and trying to get the Findus noisy bunch towars the Pontoon side of the stand could help massively.

At Town we have forgotten how to enjoy ourselves and have a good sing song. 1998 and 2006 were the last real times we had or nearly had promotion.

Also we must make BP intimidating to players of the opposition. I do not mean hurling foul and abusive insults, I mean creating a noise that puts them off their stride.....shame we can't sign Danny O'Donnell to sing, God I hate that Irish girl private!  

I emailed John Fenty about the atmosphere at BP.

I mentioned about getting the noisy crew into the Findus end of the Pontoon, as may get the Findus going. He is forwarding my emails to our Ground Safety Officer.

I also mentioned we do need respect between, fans, police and stewards as at times this has been missing for sometime

He agreed that the atmosphere was a bit flat around the ground on Saturday too and wants to see if this can be changed.

He always trys to reply to emails and deserves a lot of respect for this.

I hope we can get some sound in the ground and push for the League place!
