Magnet or Maggots?

[Guesty]

What a Question ...
Out of interest has anyone ever drank a gallon of Magnet ?
I managed it three fridays on the trot in the late 80s and that was enough for me.
Saturday mornings sat on the loo with my head in the sink.
Anyone else been there
Mind you the best pint ever was Wards,my god that curled the nostrils the next day :thumbup:

Cumulatively, yes.

In one night (or even one Week) No.

fookin hell what next ? ...............

do the Blades play in red n white ?

and Black

its magnet now but it started off as maggots.. perhaps some of you aren't up on fishing.. i cant' remember when this started.. i think it was the early 90's.. i remember those two big blokes in the lumberjack jackets who used to sit on the kop singing it.. (they started the come on you red and white wizards as well although that one started much earlier)
a gallon of maggots (they are weighed out in imperial) would be something to swank about as they would be expensive..
oh and just for the pedants.. they make magnet in leeds now i believe.. better change it back then :-/

i don't think it was 'night out in sheffield' either originally.. it was night out in one of the red light districts.. cant for the life of me remember which one though

Here are a few drinking songs taken from SHREDS S.O.A.P CREW TOURS
anyone not accustomed to SHREDS ORGANISED ALE PARTY SHAME ON YOU.

Sung to the tune All the nice girls love a sailor

All the Blademen love their gravy all the Blademen love to spew cos when you've had a triple gallon it's the natural thing to do nice and greasy goes down easy and it comes up just the same so if you see a fellow spew its the natural thing do call him a Blademan cos that's his name DAR DAR DAR DAR HOY.

Sung to the tune Food Glorious Food from Oliver

Ale wonderfull ale WARDS,STONESES and TETLEYS day after day im tekin back emptys gooin home at eleven tuneet wide eyed and dreemy goin home at eleven tuneet legless and steamy ALE WONDERFULL ALE . and so on and so
for about eleven more verses.

STOONSES bitters creamy white WARDS meks de have a shite sugar whater is no good tastes like bleedin sooap suds. In answer to your question Alien Woodward the answer is a BIG YES MR GOODISON had the TRIPLE GALLON every Match day 12 at dinner + 18 on an average evening a lot slower nowadays he is now into his 70s but only has the Gallon of Magnet now in the Sportsman on match days.:drunk::drunk::drunk::beer::drunk::loopy::thumbup:

Why is Bramall Lane often referred to as "Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane"? Who came up with this camp monstrosity of a name?

I always cringe and find it embarrassing when people say it. Fans of other teams always take the piss out of us for it aswell.

"Hello and welcome to Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane"

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I'm not au fait with fishing terminology, but would you really order maggots using a measurement more commonly used for liquid?

Yes in the same way as you would order a pint of mussels

It's maggots and what else would it be in the world capital of angling

:fishy:

Probably taste better than Magnet anyway

 

[mattbianco1]

Exactly. The line "Come fill me again" in Annie's Song is relating directly to the earlier line "You fill up my senses". If you sing "Come thrill me again" youve broken the link with the songs first line and, thus, lost the balance of the piece.

I think that would break the space-time continuum!! Thus throwing us into a parrellel world where we drink maggots and fish get pissed!

I worked with IAN many moons before his DJ days in the 60s he was related i believe to the INGRAM family who at that time ran a TEA MERCHANTS on ECCLESALL RD which i now believe is a pub below the Nursery Tavern opp side of rd i was a driver for the company IAN was a REP later he owned a shop i believe ON ECCLESSALL RD somewhere near RINGINGLOW RD in answer to the question yes BDTBL belongs to a lane legend and long may the saying remain it's part of the BLADES History. :thumbs up:

[Sirius]

Its definitely Magnet

Deffo Magnet

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Magnet and i've tested the theory by drinking my body weight of the stuff before many a kick off :lol:

Now eat yer body weight of maggots , then you can confirm which is better

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

fookin hell what next ? ...............

do the Blades play in red n white ?

That's a question an half.

Is it red stripes on a white shirt or white stripes on a red one?

I'd suspect the first which was how we managed to introduce the black stripe?

What fills your senses more than a gallon of Maggots anyhow? Always be maggots to me and no amount of forum "I'm Rightery" will sway me.

Considering it's a night out in Sheffield with a greasy chip button and pinch of snuff, how can anyone think it's Maggots. When you go out on a night out a saying is that you're going out for a gallon of beer. This strange phenomenon has happened more and more since Crewe

 

[Lane Ender]

Did a gallon of magnet regularly in the Blue Bell on the High St early/mid seventies

Also spewed up regularly on Chapel Walk after it.

You make a good case me lord. I was on the fence over this but I am swaying towards Magnet

Ah but the night out follows the angling match, the woodbines and the pinch of snuff does it not?
