You fancy filling in my grans take-a-break quizzes she is unable to do them at the minute ?? Lol

So this was a back handed compliment to the fat dogs at the same time as deliberately trying to get others to bite(hands up like myself) so you can then take the p!ss for missing the joke.



I got a hashtag for you #pointlessthread

If you wanted to compliment the dogs, why not just say it loud and proud.

Moving on... Looking forward to Saturday! I will be in full voice with the dogs and would invite everyone to join in the fun and do our bit to lift the lads! #COYB

I think MBBB should Resurrect updating his posts re ex Polish Wives, Cherry Brandy Macaroons and the ongoing Legal Spat with Rod Stud et al! Newer posters need to know where he is coming from if that's possible

Now we can't even quietly do our sudoku at Odsal without the politically correct brigade getting out their 'elf n safety manuals. For shame, Fat Pigs, for shame. #IStandWithMBBB

Some of the sponsors in the Coral have complained about the singing. We guests on hospitality are having trouble putting business deals together with the infernal noise.

Great post by OP, I always find it hard to understand why people can read a post like that and miss the joke, but certainly there was no intention to get people to "bite", it was clearly just meant to be funny. And was. Keep it up MBBB.


Come on mate, we like a laugh round here and the man's sometimes a comedy genius (don't tell him I said that).


COYB indeed!

No point chanting in the stand - we're deafened by the PA. I can't even talk to the bloke in the next seat without screaming at him.

Its all very strange in the stand. The PA is very loud but you still can't understand a word that is said by Steve Bailey.

As for the dogs I'm sick of hearing them, if they want to sing they should join a choir, not keep the rest of us awake through the matches.

I think the fact you can't tell what he's saying probably makes it sound louder than it is. I suspect the sound is concentrated under the roof, plus it bounces around and is echoed causing it to be muffled.

To be honest I worked in bands for years and am well used to PAs in large rooms, but not in the open and being projected into an (almost) enclosed roomlike area such as the stand, so I'm lost as to what the solution might be. To be fair the PA sounds OK on the terrace - it's just the stand.

As for the 'Dogs', well to be honest we can't really hear much in the stand, and anyway, I tend to get get far too caught up in the game to be interested in singing, so it's not really for me. At away games though, standing much nearer, I do find myself singing along with the chorus and it makes for an enjoyable night!

Coincidence? I have played in bands for years and have a slight loss of hearing for my sins. In larger venues some bit of kit is used to help with phasing so that the sound is released slightly later from some of the speakers to compensate for the time it takes to get down the wires I think.

The kids make me stand near the dogs at away games and we all join in with the singing. It often make the atmosphere at away games better for us, long may it continue.

The best place to hear the noise generated by the Odsal crowd seems to be the gap between the Coral Stand and the main stand. And certainly if you sit in the Coral Stand itself to watch the game, the whole place sounds many decibels higher than ever it does in the main stand. I'm assuming this is because the combination of the side and curved end terrace and the main stand act as some kind of echo chamber, funnelling sound towards the Coral Stand end. Whatever, it's very noticeable.

It's a little known fact Odsal is actually a speaker designed to be heard from outer space!

Well, it's long been known that the sound generated there disappears somewhere - btw, I notice that Gerry Sutcliffe was talking about some cover for the terraces on Boots n All last night.

you are a party pooper. some fans make the best of a bad time for your club

Can someone get the Guinness records people to check - this thread must have the world record number of whooshes.

I noticed this last night aswell, interesting since i stand on the terraces and really not sure what kind of cover they could put to cover something the size of those terraces!



And even with that, not sure how others feel but i have stood there in all weathers including the odd sunny game and i dont really mind the conditions! Suppose it would be nice not to be soaked but i wouldnt have thought it was a top priority unless its more for the away fans to entice more travelling fans across...

figure of 8-10 million has been mentioned before to put a roof on pop.side due to sheer scale/complications with foundation. Guess they could do something cheaper like wakefield have done and only cover back 1/3 or so a lot cheaper, but seems an odd thing to be even talking about before they've even secured clubs immediate future.

I thought it was an odd thing to mention too, its kind of obvious there are more important things to sort out first. Well if that figure is correct i personally wouldnt want to see that kinda of money spent on a 'shelter' not unless it was important for the licensing criteria for odsal stadium improvements!

Either way i would hope they were dealing with the outgoings and securing the coaching and playing staff rather than getting out the tape measure and measuring up....

Perhaps he just wants to prove he's not a roofless businessman

If only people would read ..well just a post or three, before diving in with a big hammer

It depends who mentioned it as to whether that figure is accurate or ludicrous.

Back to the fat dogs.
I sit in the Tetley stand and love to hear the singing, unfortunately we cannot join in because we cannot hear the words clearly enough. How about adapting some well known ones that most people will know the words to, for example:

You are my sunshine/bradford
I can see clearly now the rain/Guilfoyle has gone

Any more suggestions?
