HEARD ON THE TERRACES

Andrew Detheridge

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The things that fans say
are, often, as entertaining as the play
on dreary Wednesday nights in December-
but, a few, are the ones you really remember:

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Like Arsenal fans offering to race
Man U fans back to their place
in Surrey, after a game at Old Trafford.
Or putting Blackpool’s away fans to the sword
when their following was so paltry
we sang, ‘you must have come on a donkey!’

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Or when a groom and his potential bride
were given a predictably tough ride
as he tried to propose on the half way spot.
Their cheeks began to grow somewhat hot
and, no doubt, the decision to propose he started rueing
as the crowd chanted ‘you don’t know what you’re doing!’
