Green king v Northstand...."who are ya?"

Post by **loudnproud** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 4:37 pm

I am old enough to recall the days that the banter that went on with the old churchmans v northstand crowds were at times comical to listen to and created lots of fun to all concerned,certainly stopped them knitting in the cobbold stands!!!

It would be great to get that spirit back and though i am currently a season northstander,who loves a beer and a good old sing song,I am also tempted to entice others to perhaps join my very loud self and get the green king rocking!!!!!

I reckon a core of 20 of us should do it.....Any green kingers up for it?

of course, be like an away game when you find yourself amongst a small group of isolated vocalists - but to demonstrate true commitment to chant a more rewarding experience would be gained from bottom corner of churchman's upper tier, just inches from the oh so ugly away ranks.

The away section is in the wrong place, should be the other end of cobbold....would create a much better atmosphere at home, yes i know thats been said a hundred times before

my crate was britvic. and wooden. churchman's top right hand corner - i.e burley's side. shame 'cos i liked alan hunter's song better. my dad attacked a crowd of liverpool with my crate on prince's st bridge one sunny saturday (in defence of some ipswich chaps you understand). they don't make them like that anymore - crates or dads.

The stand was originally called the Churchmans due to the
cigarette factory that used to be behind it which was call
Churchamns, assuming I got it right..

I can only imagine Ipswich got some sponsorship from Greene
King when they worked on that stand?

I was there too mate, and they were great times, the old Churchmans was far better than the current north stand.

I think you've had a great idea here, I'm currently in the Britannia, but I'd consider joining the party

Ok all points noted!!! What i was perhaps trying to suggest is that a small group core of us,who luv a sing song,should visit green king and at least teach them the words!!! I'm sure there are a section up their who want to sing-a-long but are too bashfull to get things started.Lets face it chaps.Most of us on here would find a song for just about anything...wouldnt we?

I was in the Brittannia once, got up and started the "who the fvckin hell are you" chant and got told to sit down PMSFL.

What a fun day LOL

I had to sit in the Greene King stand against Norwich earlier this year, oh my what a bad mistake that was, I'm quite vocal and found myself being looked at by a large number of people whilst they sat there sipping from there Thermal Flasks doing crosswords etc etc

My dad took me to Churchmans when I was a kid, he even made me a wooden box to stand on!

I then stayed in their for years but eventually got fed up of being one of the few to make any noise!

Also it was (and still is presumably) full of the worst moaners in the ground.

I'll always remember coming out of Churchman's after a 0-0 draw with a very defensive Grimsby (they just put 10 men behind the ball all game) when we needed a win to seal the Division 2 (as it was then) title and promotion to the new Premiership (in 1991-92) and people were moaning so much you'd think we'd just got relegated!

We then went to Oxford next game and sealed promotion and the championship, I was so happy that we did it away and not in front of the moaning twats in Churchmans!

I'm now a bit of a nomad and go wherever I can get tickets (although I'm no longer welcome in the family enclosure or the Britannia due to excessive noise pollution!) but usually I'm found in the noisy North!

I was in the Greene King upper tier (the posh seats) for the play off last season, the only tickets left by the time I got to the front of the queue. There were quite a few of us making noise, but I suspect it was all North Stand refugees, because we also got plenty of funny looks.
