Characters from Portman Road you'll miss over the Summer 19:57 - May 7 with 1982 viewsDubtractor

I sit in the SBR Upper, and there is a chap somewhere near the back who shouts 'AWAY!' really bloody loudly every time a corner or set piece comes in to the box.

Our group have become a bit obsessed with him, and every now and then when he does a really good one, we share our appreciation in the same way you might for a good pass or shot.

Anyone got any similar characters sat near them?

Let's say the average age where I am is a touch older than me.

Most are still uncomfortable playing out from the back.

I'm expecting no change there....

One I have missed recently is megaphone man. I wonder what happened to him.

Ray sits in the row behind me in the West Stand. Every time we concede a goal he says "Cooper would have stopped that". Literally every goal, even the 20 yarder to the top corner. 20 years I have had it, but always miss it if he ain't there. Love him.

That's the fella who attends with his church mates and is always trying to get the choir to practice Christmas carols throughout the year though, innit? He gets nervous before he can get the "in a manger..." out and clams up.

Davies, Davies, give the ball to Davies, says the bloke near me

Also another bloke who shouts "out", nothing else during the game, just "out"

Love this, reminded me when I moved from Herts to Leicestershire & joined a Sunday team, I took over from their goalie, but every time we conceded, my new teammates said Pete Bodie (previous goalie) would have got that
I got Player of the Year that 1st season & when I accepted my trophy, I said Pete Bodie WOULDN'T have got that!

What does he shout when Davies has the ball?

We have a chap behind us who always shouts "They are bringing on another b.......d " every time the opposition use a substitute.

SBR lower area 4 - a really passionate ginger haired guy who does half scream (and I mean scream) some nonsense during the season.

However, all passion really! Looking forward to the 'you're s**t' shouts because we don't dominate Man City.

We have a bloke near us we call "Yeeargh Man". He tries to cheer every half decent chance we have before it goes in, almost like he wants to be seen (or rather heard) to be the one to call it, like he spotted it before everyone else. Becomes a tad annoying when it inevitably doesn't go in, but we'd miss him if he wasn't there.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Honestly, most of the lot around me in NSL.

We've all been there for ages, the lad next to me was very teary drunk on Saturday (as was I, tbf), we had a little hug after both running on the pitch, and a reminisce about how dreadful it was under all the Pauls/ Keane etc.

Lots of hugging/ handshakes with all those in the immediate vicinity, most of who I'd become extremely close with when Sarmiento scored vs Soton.... we've all seen us at our lowest, and now we're rising again.

Yeah man.

Oh yeah, and I'll miss either one of the twins in full rant mode on the concourse at HT, always good to see. Just a stream of swearwords, not sure how either of them breathe.

One near me who regularly shouts "ffs clear it Town, boot it up field" and I mean regularly shouts it even if we're only 5 minutes into the match. Then should the opposition clear it by booting it up field he'll respond with "f**king hoof ball, boring boring ****, another 70s style team"

Not sure I'll miss him exactly but my son and I sit fairly centrally in Sir Alf upper and there's a bloke behind us who clearly listens to the Radio Suffolk commentary during the game as he will tell us what Mick Mills thinks of any slightly contentious decision/missed chance/substitution etc.

He also says 'Uh-oh' in quite a broad Suffolk accent if the opposition creates even a slightly a tricky situation for our defenders to deal with. Mostly if it's Woolfenden who's got to deal with it.

The Away fella reminds me of a chap who used to loudly moan when Daryl Murphy got the ball.

"Why'd you pass it to him for!"

When Murphy went on a tear for us that season, every time he scored you always heard "I could have scored that!"

I think the guy wasn't all there, but he got a lot of frustration and laughter from people around him.

There's a bloke behind us in the North Lower Block 5 who spends more time looking at his accas and Super 6 than the match, most weeks. It's become a rolling joke as to how early his accas are blown out of the water. Usually followed by an "I can't believe it, Crewe are losing, they've won their last nine".
