Were back this week after going missing for a few months
When we scored against QPR, I just stood and politely applauded
When we equalised against Castle I got quite excited, but when we scored the winner I went off on one - first time in ages
When we scored yesterday, I went ballistic - proper joy. Given I was also holding onto my boy (with broken ankle in cast) it was something special not to fall over!
Hopefully it catches on at home games and the atmosphere improves - yesterday's was special all game!
My boy (10 - his first away game yesterday) asked me today why people sing all game away but are quiet at home...he loved it though

It was a proper "falling over the back of your seat" mental.
Well it was for us anyway!
Proper crazy!

I was watching the game on the web and even before the goal I was regretting not going. The support sounded great and I'm sure the mental after the goal was the icing on the cake.
Well done to all that went.

The ensuing few minutes after the goal were immense too.
Jingle bells seemed to go on for ages "oh what fun it is to see city win away hey"
The whole stand shook to its core during the boing boing back of shit too ;D
West brom must fucking hate us ;D

I was in the Smethwick end, but in the Albion side, very close to the divide. It looked amazing. It also silenced the mouthy yam yams around me who had been giving it all match

I was in the far end of our allocation and I genuinely only heard them sing once in 90 minutes. |

No mate they didn't sing much at all. I just had 5 or 6 behind me who spent most of the match letting it it be known to everyone round them how much they hated Stoke, that we were a bunch of fucking clayheads etc.....Got right on my tits and there was not a thing I could do about it...Funnily enough they all disappeared with about 10 minutes to go

I pushed my mate over on accident and sent him flying, woops! But I ran down to the railings, climbed them and celebrated on there with my fists clenched in the air. Amazing mental.

Don't think i have ever gone that mad before yesterday, punched my mate by accident and had blokes climbing on top of me from behind. But I or my mate couldn't care less, was pure class! and the away support was first class, should be much more like at home.

You know it's a good day when you have bruises on your shins from the seat in front! Just checked - yep, straight line of bruises across both shins! |

I have a cut across just above my ankle, caused by the bloody seat in front probably.
To be honest, I have no idea which is always a sign that you've had a bloody good mental.
Like many others, I went mental with my mate and also hugged total strangers next to me, behind me and in front of me.
The subsequent jingle bells was the best ever rendition and was following with a quite simply superb "boing boing bag of shit" which must have pissed off on looking baggies massively.

Haha, i loved that boing boing bag of shit as it would wind them up so much. It was great! Still trying to get my voice back today. I was right in the middle of it all being sat about half way up the stand and in the middle of our allocation going across. |

The mental is up there with the best but will never beat the mentals at the Baggies when we won 3-1? and scored the goals so quickly one after the other.I was absolutely knackered after that 10/15 minute spell and had bruises all over my legs but it was well worth it.

It is hard to believe that the game back in 92/93, in the THIRD tier of English football, was attended by a crowd some 6,000 bigger than the one that was there on Saturday.

Still recovering from that one mental. Hugged at least 5 strangers, bleeding after being punched in the mouth by my mate, several bodies flying over and around me.
Still buzzing today if i'm honest

My war wound is down the side of my right knee from my own seat as I fell backwards over it while trying to keep plaster boy upright standing on his seat, at the same time high fiving and hugging the bloke behind! Knee is black and blue today and very sore! Ace |
