First of all I would like to take this opportunity to wish my brother a very happy 22nd birthday – have a good one davebrid!
Now on to what we’re all here for – my blog!
Hello and welcome to the 14th edition of my weekly blog.
Signs at Nethermoor should simply read:
FUNHOUSE
I’m not referring to the Pat Sharp hosted game show from years gone by but to just how fun it is to sit in the main stand watching Guiseley.
To say you meet characters in that place is an understatement. Having been to see Guiseley for some time now, there are a bunch of us regulars who have a laugh no matter what the result.
One time last season, for example, some kids, backed up by a somewhat Nethermoor MC, took on the Crossbar Challenge. As each player missed the bar by some distance, we started pondering what the future of the club would be like.
With us on a bad run at home at the time, one fan shouted out “Give them a season ticket, that’ll teach them!”
When we took on Buxton earlier this season, a chap on the front row rose from his seat and said to his mate “I’m going to the cafe. Would you like any Bovril?”
After a man behind us on the back row, who didn’t know the chap in question bellowed “Yes please!” another man shouted “Bring mine in a bucket, my feet are cold!”
It was a shock to see Eastwood Town boss Paul Cox cheering his team on from in front the then part cordoned off main stand a few months back. Thanks in part to his presence near the home support, the game was memorable for several hilarious fan quotes.
When Eastwood seemed to move the ball forward several yards at a free kick, a man in front proclaimed “Excuse me referee, I don’t go that far on my holidays!”
As the manager got behind his team, he screamed “Discipline, discipline!” A gent near the front asked “Discipline, who’s he?”
The response from another fan was: “He meant disciple!”
It doesn’t stop when the match is over either. After a poor showing against Whitby this season, forum administrator Yeadoner was heard to say “I feel like I’ve been shot!”
On another occasion, we wandered past a random wheelbarrow near the Ings Crescent entrance. A guy who we’ve been sat in front for a while now who knows my dad is a scouser, shouted out “Hey, scousers, are you going to nick this wheelbarrow?”
We took it in good humour as it’s always a good laugh watching Guiseley. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my memories of watching my favourite club.
Next week I will look at what else I would like to see in place at Guiseley.
