Open the bloody Kop next time please

[benn5712]

I'm on holiday for this one, so at least I won't have to mix with the riffraff from the Kop again, on the South Stand.

Skeg Vegas again?
Enjoy.

You’ll have to live with the legacy for months afterwards though.

Chewing gum under your seat, and unidentifiable sticky blobs on the floor that adhere to your shoes. Plus the knowledge that a pair of very ample, sweaty and poorly washed buttocks were warming the plastic for a couple of hours.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Can’t wait to be looked at funny for even daring to stand up, even when we score.

The old “no one stands up when we score” fallacy.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Ingoldmells.

La di dah.....

I know it’s only banter but where has this conception that the Kop mob smell/are tramps come from?

I’ve sat on G&H in the South Stand, and a good number of them could fit in at the back of the kop quite easily... you can smell them before you can see them

Possibly the same jokey exaggeration you’ve just used?

As you say, banter, although halfway up Bblock in the South, there’s always the faint aroma of piss.

I don't understand it though, and I say that as a South Stand ST holder (with occasional frequents to the piss ridden Kop)

Tsk tsk. Sean giving away his seat location.

Watch out or Mr Angry could come round, burst through your protection squad of elite Chinese students and dig up a post you made 7 years ago on an entirtely different forum.

I got NME because I am clearly cooler than you

Sounds was for cool dudes - NME was for the masses. We always called it spunos - cos that’s what it said upside down!

Not wearing deodorant is my good luck charm for the match. Sorry.

If you want to increase ticket sales for cup games give cup ticket holders first pick for the Liverpool and Man City home games!

As a former subscriber to Sounds, I have to say I thought it was the opposite. I always felt the NME was a bit too ‘political’ and ‘studenty’ and looked down it’s nose at a lot of music that was quite popular at the time, like heavy metal. Although that may have varied over the years. My perception was that the NME would support any band, however bad, if they sang about how Thatcher was a twat over any band that sang about ‘Satan’s cock’ (or anything escapist).

The same goes for me albeit with a different genre. The NME wanted hip alternative bands but drew the line at skinheads/punks, who they treated with sneering contempt.
1980 - 82 saw the Oi! explosion and regular gigs locally at the George IV on Infirmary Road and The Marples in Fitzallan Square. The NME wanted none of it and championed a load of indie shite, wearing the correct baggy clothes.

BTW I've just googled 'Satan's Cock' and I have to say you surprise me BushBlade . What would your mother say!

 

[Blade for Sale]

Sunderland will be bang up for this, travel in big numbers and be as loud as usual, they have great away support.

The club is missing a trick here, very cheap tickets and give plenty away to schools/junior clubs will mean a good crowd and a great atmosphere under the lights against a big club who's fans are giving it plenty. We'll make a loss on the night but make a significant gain in support from the next generation. What's more, this should be done once a year in an early league cup round. Our nearest and dearest rivals are in dissaray and we are at our finest moment for decades. There will never be a better time to wrench support from them.

I was at the Blackburn game, I saw it with my own eyes.

I thought I’d made it up but I should have known better.

My mother would say ‘what?’ repeatedly because she’s deaf as a post.

Yep. It's a very lazy effort from the club. No thought or effort whatsoever and nothing different. I can't remember the last time they did anything to try and fill the stadium. Now's the time to capitalise as you say and they need to get their act together.

I have every faith in my Red Guard and my faithful Drones, the Holdenista.

No one stood up. No one? I did, so did the regulars around me. We always do.

The last time the club did anything to fill the ground ? Now lets think, how about winning promotion to the fucking premier league or doesn't that count.
MOAN, MOAN, MOAN.

Didn’t say no one stood up, but in front of me a significant amount of people didn’t. I’m not expecting there to be limbs at the first round of the League Cup, but come on...

 

[SteveBlade]

Bit gay.

It’s not normal for the SS. Makes you wonder if these were the “tourists” that so many seem desperate to get in to help the atmosphere of a sell out.

No ones judging you.

You saying I smell?

In all fairness, I was sat on the JSS and when we conceded the Penalty, I shouted "Come on Simon" in my loudest voice and also was shouting come on United/Blades at certain intervals and got daggers from everyone around me for it. I like to credit myself with helping him get motivated to save it, but fucking hell I can't wait to get back onto the Kop.

 

[metalblade]

I can't believe this decision not to open the kop. No doubt they will want all us kop season ticket holders there should we progress to the later rounds. All for the sake of saving money on paying the minimum wage stewards.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

How many fans do you think there were that wanted to be on the Kop so badly that they opted not to go at all rather than sit elsewhere? It seems absurd on the face of it to think that would've been a significant number but I'm all ears if anyone has anything to suggest otherwise.

Me. Though I did buy tickets for the loyalty points. Didnt go though.

It'll be pretty shit when Sunderland fetch a load and we don't open our kop.

We got 30k for the youth Cup final. They couldn't hand tickets out quick enough.

But we're PL now....

Don’t think they will fetch a load though. Did you see the Burnley attendance?
