I still have my own piece of the old wooden stand,its nearly dried out now
Back on to characters, does anyone know who the short guy was who used to push his way to the top of the stand a minute before kick and proceeded to bellow"sing up you barstewards".

You are certainly getting very warm

Little bald headed bloke with a limp.He must have had one leg shorter than the other and he wore a built up shoe.He always had a carrier bag in his hand(loved to have known what was in it) and he used to shout his head off at the ref and the opposition.Good supporter though,always at the ground,A-team,first team, he was always there.

he may struggle to hit those high notes himself now, surely by now his balls must have dropped

Correct,and our streets are safe to walk down thanks to PC Mick

I was a bit young to remember the charachters as such but a guy went in called Dave Harold and he was mental for it.
I remember tries being scored and everyone falling around you and there would be this big gap in the stand and you could actually see wood.
I was there for the first crowd under 10,000 v York I think in 1984/5 ?
The coin throwing into the blankets was also mad and I just have this vision of p*ss and various ways to have one without losing your spot for too long. Bit further on was the Shane Rich era and his campaign to stop swearing. That first home game v Bradford was a laugh - they came out and 3d started singing "what the f--ing hell is that" really LOUD and audible. Shane may as well have not bothered but I have heard him swear every other word at a steward for letting some ex A-team player from 1958 in for free.

Always sttod with a good crowd and had a laugh.Mick,Al,Nesthead,Jimmy the oldest mascot in the clubs history(sadly departed to live in the Emerald Isle)Big Mally,Giggsy(Alrite Baz!!).Great crowd and great memories.

Also who can forget 3d,s very own porn star(home made)Dobbo,now a City psycho
