Make sure you move around different parts of the room, chanting "We are the North wall, we are the North wall...etc." and vary it according to where you are currently standing.
My season ticket is in the WSU, my house has 3 floors.
Before the match starts - put tv in the garden.
Go up and down my stairs 10 times, not sure of the exact number of stairs to WSU but it’s a good climb.
Stay on top floor, open window and watch match on tv in the garden.
To fully recreate the matchday experience you need to half-fill them with lukewarm water (definitely do not stir) before drinking the faintly-brown tepid liquid, finishing off of course with a mouthful of intensely-flavoured chocolate sludge that slides slowly down the inside of the cup.
When this thread has run its course, perhaps a "True Stories From the War Years" thread for veterans to post their true-life experiences for younger supporters to marvel at? Serious times back then, (mid to late 90's), but I'm sure there's some very funny and interesting stories to be told.Surely someone better than me (jack s?) can recreate a match day from the “war years” when something was always going to happen but only a few knew what, eg fan chaining himself to the goal, York at home (most fans knew), the butcher’s pitch invasion vs Orient, Bellotti being chased out the West Stand, “sack the board” carved on the pitch, Hereford firework, there are loads more

Burning burger van to enable you to chant “you don’t know what you’re doing” as people run around trying to put out the fire that’s escalating?

Excellent thread. Haven't laughed so much for ages. Just reminds you of what we are missing but in a nice warm way.
Obviously at the end of the game you'll need to go up and down your stairs another 10 times.
Stick a poster on your fridge listing all the delicious and refreshing items contained within it.
Get two members of your family preferably the oldest and the youngest - if you have an elderly grandparent in yr bubble the better, gender is irrelevant - ask them to stand in front of the fridge for 10 mins but not to look at the list that is right in front of their noses.
You should stand behind them for an equal amount of time.
When the 10 mins are up ask them to open the fridge door and then spend the next 5 minutes asking each other what they would like to take from the fridge.
Mutter under your breath ‘oh, for ****s sake’
I went to bookers especially to buy instant hot chocolate cups
Does this make me sad
