"I was here when we were shit"

Why do Y26'ers sing that. The majority of you weren't.

It makes us look even more plastic than we already are.

We had the misfortune of seating in Y26 last night. The average age is about 14 and they were trying to encourage "fights" with the Darlo supporters. I sincerely hope I never EVER have to sit there again.

Same here. I shall ensure that for the next round of the cup we apply to get our ST seats in Y24!!

I mean, what kind of image are we giving when all we seem to have is young boys, some as old as 11 giving it the biggun?

We had a boy of about 5 in front of us flicking his thumb and forefinger at the away supporters. I mean, if he's going to be rude, at least use the right fingers. pLOLastics.

But seriously, behind me were 11 year old boys ( i know this because Ratty asked them) and they were stood on chairs with their tops of, gesticulating to the away support and calling everone c**nts.

Dickheads.

What about singing, " when we went down, inside the city ground, we were there, we were there" ???

Royal Lady · by **Royal Lady** » 20 Sep 2006 21:43

was that at the end of the game? We saw a load of young boys with their tops off. I didn't join in however!

Top of Y25/26. Picture above the "I" in "Madejski" that's where they were. South stand regulars i bet.

I trust that, in addition to what you report, they were also passing wind throughout.

We were just by the score board. Never again, I tells ya.

I can only apologise for the behaviour of our Neanderthal neighbours and make the suggestion that some time in the future you sample the more refined, discerning and cultured environment we have created in Y25.

I sit in Y26 and normal games it is a bit more adult but last night it was a Â£1 a kid so you are going to get more and most probably they do sit in the south so thought lets see what its like to be in the best stand.

But still I bet there parents are well proud.

It was a strange match from a crowd point of view.

When the penalties were being taken, a steward had to wade into the crowd and tell people to sit down - and this was in the Lower West!

Funny, Man City sang that to us last week. If my memory serves me well, weren't we playing them in league 2 when we were sh*t. (now league 1).
