Police Box Gang

can someone answer a genuine question

why did the police box people deliberately position themselves underneath the police box when it would be obvious to to anyone the acoustics afforded by the extra low roof would mean they would be only mostly heard amongst themselves.........it seems a little odd.

When a few of the guys and girls near us shuffled along it was simply because the new seats provided the only way they could congregate with likeminded souls who they'd met and formed friendships. A one off opportunity. Everything else was secondary I guess, but I don't think they'd consulted sound engineers or had any agenda other than that. I know that's unpalatable to those wishing it was otherwise so they can continue with the childish them and us fixation but that is, I believe, all there is to it!

That was really obvious... nice loud GOSBTS, crying out to be joined in with and would have probably got an "ALL TOGETHER NOW" extension from WSU, but the PBC had other ideas...

Omg what the hell was u listening to cause under the PB we joined in with GOSBTS i was under there ffs

The rising hot air they generate keeps the police box up in its gravity defying position. If they paused for just a second it would come crashing down and crush them all, so you can kind of understand it from their point of view.

We're all savilles victims Leeds fans? I'm surprised in this day and age, when such actions can soon land you in a storm of public notoriety that someone would post such a thing that's all!

You were. Not anymore. I've explained! More than a few trolls on here wanting to make this an issue I think.

How was that tonight then people of NorthStandChat....

You cant say we didnt join in atmosphere was buzzing..

Fair play for you for coming back. From WSU G (back rows) you were indeed joining in when other songs were started and only starting your own when it was quiet. That's the way it should be. We outsung Leeds last night, you don't do that very often in this league.

Sorry I don't know that but unless the club provided the means to I'm not sure they could. We kind of need a spell in the bottom leagues to enable!

9/10 Gaz, very good but you lose a point for one Yankee Doodle song just before half time :)
Didn't sound like a kid starting it either.

No it was one of them from that little group that has suddenly appeared from no-where but it was quite funny as the 5 of them started walking up on right side of police box then they noticed that the orignals were there there faces were a picture but 2 of them went to the left of police box **** knows where the other wents prob back to there seats the bellends...

I think you are seeing something that isn't there.
I only posted that Jimmy Saville flag because half the North Stand were chanting " He's one of your own" last night, and it was in reply to someone saying the chant was embarrassing :shrug:
I also posted that many people around me in the WSU were laughing , in fact some even applauded the chant.

It had nothing to do with Saville's victims being Leeds fans, and I wasn't mocking the victims, let's get that straight.

IMO I think the chant means that Saville is thought of as scum, and he came from Leeds, also some people think many Leeds fans are also scum.
Hope this helps, but please accept my apologies if you were genuinely affected by my post.
I can't applologise for the North Stand chanting about Jimmy Saville last night, I wasn't in that stand and didn't start the chant.

I hope you're not pulling my leg here Gaz :) a little group trying to infiltrate the PBC to sing Yankee Doodle :rolleyes:

Seriously though, good effort last night by the North Stand.

No need to aplogise BN9, I wasn't upset, others might be so it was just cautionary advice. how many times has social media "banter" ended up in court for example? sensitive subjects are easily misconstrued.
