Beam back

[Seanshoreham]

Second best to actually being there at Northampton (nay third after the Hill) BUT great atmosphere in The John Street stand, sat in the sun enjoying the game
Tried to join the pitch invasion but couldn't get my leg-over the advertising boards
What a contrast to the last one I went to v. Exeter City 2012

 

[Guesty]

Only my second beam back, the first was the game at Hillsborough with Tonge's 'top corner' Free Kick and of course Akinbiyi's stunner.

Hard to say which of the two I preferred!

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

I wasn't sure what the atmosphere would be like but that was unreal, as if the lads were actually there themselves. What a fucking result.

couldn't get my leg over"

I know where you're coming from mate! Actually, there weren't many on the hill.

 

[Seanshoreham]

_ and we were able to supp ale in our seats

 

[boo radley]

Was not that bothered but that hindsight is a wonderful thing and I would have paid double or plenty more for that today.
Great day and company in the Beer Engine afterwards.

 

[PokerBlade]

Felt a little subdued at half-time. Felt fantastic come that final whistle.

 

[Right Back]

Loved it. Having a beer in the stand was surreal (although mine ended up all over the floor when we scored the winner). Top atmosphere for what was essentially watching the telly.

 

[blade67]

was great today in the sunshine.

Like going to a pub beer garden with 5000 people in it and giant TV's

I've got a couple of videos but they are massive. How can I shrink and load them ?

Did McCabe run on the pitch and do a belly slide/

 

[Jehovah]

I made a right balls up not going ffs

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Was on the pitch - loved it

 

[AWetFlannel]

Well worth going to, a game of no bounce at the end just topped it off.

You lot better it have damaged the desso

On the way home Lady HB commented on how nice the grass smelt... as she normally associates BDTBL with the smell of "beer and trump".

We do sit on the Kop after all.

(Coincidentally, she sits beside me and I drink beer and ...)

May sound cheap, may sound like I am a man who failed to get a ticket to THE actual game, but at the end of the day, 1500 blades made the noise, they fully deserved it to their loyalty.

But for me I'll remember the pitch invasion at the beamback, I'll remember the 20 min kick about we had where fans didn't give a colossal fuck about what they were doing. Just pure emotion and happiness rolled into one. I made my daughters day as she turned round and said "dad, this is the best day ever".

Northampton away would have been sensational, but I'll still take my memories of the beamback into my future until the day I die.

Fantastic day to be a blade.

What on earth is that kid wearing in the centre of the shot? We don't want his type at the lane thank you very much

I'll not post the photo of me in my Hawaiian shirt then

dark grey 15 denier tights by the looks of things stringjunior but don't let that youthful misdemeanour spoil the day...

 

[spongebobblade]

Was under the impression we had sold in excess of 5k? Certainly far more than 1500. The stand was packed to the rafters with others in the kop corner as well. Was the next best thing to being at Northampton though. Great afternoon of celebrations in the sunshine

 

[Grizzly blade]

My lad once made a fella cry his heart out at the lane...,he was about 4 and singing the GCB. The same lad is 16 now and has been singing his heart out all day. It's been wonderful.
Two memories I will cherish.

That what it's bout for me...my kids enjoying the game as i did at their age. Seems like bloody yesterday...I feel so old.
18 & 16....lad has a possible career in the game albeit with another club. So proud of the fact he loves his blades but at 16 is still grown up enough to play his part for another club going forwards.
I don't think I would cope if he ever pulled on that shirt in anger.

Up the blades.

 

[Blade 62]

That photo dose the beamback an injustice .
I thought it was a great day out as we couldn't get tickets.

 

[HillmortonBlade]

It was a cracking day. Living where we do, we had considered going to the "Hill", but plumbed for being at BDTBL on a day such as this. 100% right choice. What a day.

Sounds amazing!

You had a 20 min kickabout on the desso?

It was Gav, I wasn't sure how it would be. And only found out late last night I could make it. Top marks our club, it was a fantastic afternoon. The stewards were chuckling as the first few made for the pitch, then stood back to let us all on.

That's when the emotions starting getting to this old fool..

We did Gavlar, someone's idea to bring a ball with em and it kept getting kicked in the air while big groups of fans tried heading it, a couple of people scored a goal in the kop end, I managed to get the ball and nearly knocked a little kid's head off . Luckily his dad put his arm in the way

A great day. Up there with Darlington and Leicester.
