Tip Toe Through The North Stand !!!!

[3gulls]

The Bosun used to go in the North Stand.....and you had to make sure you didn't stand in front of Jimmy Hannigan?sp otherwise you'd find him pissing down your leg.

Who last time i saw him lived in London and was supporting f***ing Millwall!

 

[3gulls]

she wore
she wore
she wore a blue & white ribbon
she wore a blue & white ribbon in the merry month of may
and when
i asked
her why she wore that ribbon
she said for Brighton & hove albion & we're going to wemberlee
wemberlee
wemberlee
we're the famous Brighton & hove albion
& we're going to wemberlee

It was YELLOW!

And its was for "the Brighton boys at wemberly today"

 

[3gulls]

Down in the city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
She wheeled her wheelbarrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Singing
BRIGHTON!!!!!

It was "In Brighton's fair city"

 

[3gulls]

When?!

Exactly! They would never dare to try one by one! And always got a kicking when they were mob handed!

 

[3gulls]

As a twelve year old I can remember

Colin Harvey asked Bill Shankly if he'd heard of the North Bank Highbury, Shanks said no I don't think so, but I've heard of the Brighton Northstand

Who's "Colin Harvey"? It was "Bertie Mee"!

Anyone done.....All the lads and lasses and all the silent faces..?

 

[pasty]

Always a favourite at Christmas time

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Looked down and he said

WE HATE PALACE AND WE HATE PALACE

 

[Worthing Keith]

What about when the West Stand were annoyed by the ref,

"Ohhh myy what a referee, what a referee, what a referee...."

I bet that used to intimidate him!

 

[the wanderbus]

Who last time i saw him lived in London and was supporting f***ing Millwall!

what about his fat mate who used to wear the outsized jelly shoes?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Anyone done.....All the lads and lasses and all the silent faces..?

are we getting into "Sue Lawley" territory here...?

 

[3gulls]

what about his fat mate who used to wear the outsized jelly shoes?

Don't really know who you mean - could be ollie? If it was i ain't seen him for donkeys years.

 

[the wanderbus]

never knew his name , everyone just called him fatty, they seemed good mates but I must admit I only saw them together at a few away games.

Failed in Wales, failed in Wales

in a smilar vein...

We'll take more care of you... Robinson, Robinson

and

Thankyou very much for Nobby Horton (or "the 2 points Palace"),
Thankyou very much
Thankyou very, very, very much

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

What a f***ing thread. You old bastards knew how to live.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

We've got Stevey Stevey Stevey Stevey Penney
On the wing, On the wing,
We've got Stevey Stevey Stevey Stevey Penney
On the wing, On the wing,
Stevey , Stevey Penney, Stevey Penney on the wing,
....................................................

Sounds better with Jimmy Neighbours name in it.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

And after shoelaces were banned

Tiptoe, through the North Stand
With yer socks on.....

Dad was telling me once, when Oxford were down, they made them all take there shoes off, and apprently there was just 1000 pairs of Doc Martens outside the ground

Great Stuff.

 

[vitusvivi]

I used to like the ritual "West Stand, West Stand Give Us a Song" sung at times of triumph...

I always imagined them to be mainly rich businessmen smoking cigars for some reason - they didn't really approve of the North Stand but would usually respond with "Seagulls, Seagulls" and then get a cheer back

hahaha my grandfather and his brothers used to sit in there and they were rich businessmen

 

[Alfred the greatx]

These were the correct words , the reason it doesn't rhyme with North Stand is because other clubs used to sing North Bank where they had just terracing (without a roof) behind the goal.

I thought it was an Arsenal song and the last line would originaly have been,
We are the Highbury, north bank.

 

[Northstander]

Ah! The push down the terrace as a corner or shot came in!

Being fifty yards from where you started after a goalmouth incident!

Great days indeed.(Wipes away tears.)


Up the Albion!

then spending 20 odd minutes trying to find your mates again?
