[Archived] Darwen End

[Tom]

I'd say both ends did well today which is good news all round

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Decent atmosphere,the standard has been set for this season.

[Mattyblue]

It was BBE v DE as the Scousers were their usual silent selves.

[Ben-2000]

They are the only set of fans that all sit down for 90mins... for that reason i'd give them the whole Darwen End instead of their scouce neighbours.

[Hughesy]

scouce neighbours.

Who?

Na still the same gobby sh!tes outside.

Instead of Liverpoo who insist on standing for 90mins despite the tannoy announcements etc... just like the Mancs thinking they own the place

They can do what they want, aslong as they dont win at Fortress Ewood!

Great banter yesterday in the DE

Everton fans were their usual shockingly quiet selves, considering the numbers they bring.

Can anybody shed some light on what seemed like a spot of bother down the front near the end of the game? The police & stewards were restraining a big guy in a yellow top. Couldn`t tell if he was Rovers or bin-dipper from where we were.

Best chant of the day came from the BBE (yes, we actually heard them for once ) just after our goal..."One nil & your shirts are ####"

Also enjoyed the "Englands number 1" chant for Robbo. He turned to the DE, shook his head, pointed to the Rovers badge & then to the number 1 on his back.....so everyone started singing "Rovers number 1". Robbo gave us the BIG thumbs up

Robbo loves the Darwen End!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Nice one Robbo!

I didn't hear that song once, the best chant had to be Giiiiiiiiiiivet, wherever you may be.

Ye Robbo loves the Darwen End, Nelsen acknowledged us after the game, so did most of the players, the Darwen End is the place to be

You didn't hear the 'shirts are s*** chant?!

Think that proves that both ends struggle to hear each other.

[Tom]

Yep I'd say the 'One nil and your shirts are sh*t' were nearly as loud as anything on the day. Apparently started by our very own Abbey. Good work after his 'Terry's got a hardon' chant last year.

Got to say the rousing, 'One Jack walker' had my hairs on end

[American Rover12]

The one jack walker chant near FT came over loud and clear over tv stream. it was excellent.

[AggyBlue]

I actually heard you lot for once, can't understand why you were singing for Emerton though

[RIML]

The Everton fans were quiet, they sung that 'Everton' song and 'nobody better than Mikel Arteta' in the first few minutes that was about it.

I don't know why I didn't hear that one nil song must have been singing something else.

[Majiball]

To be fair they do see everything backwards over there.

One does try ones best

Anyway, JW Upper is better. Like party animals.

Once they've been long dead and stuffed I've sat up there a few times, the silence was deafening. No singing at all. Once, after a dreadful midfield pass, through abject frustration I shouted, "Jesus Christ!". The snotty woman in front turned round and proclaimed, "Oh, I didn't know HE was playing," then got her thermos out. Miserable moo.

Just thought I'd put a good word in for those of us sat in the Riverside near the Darwen End. Plenty of signing and a good atmosphere. We were definitely belting out the "1-0 and your shirts..." chant after the goal. The Shed is still a pretty good place to be, provided you're at least 10 rows back.

Well done all round I'd say. Shame the JW is so sparse still.

[roversmum]

He was playing, actually. The players call Givet 'Jesus'.

[Ozz]

Well the game yesterday was the quietest it's been in the Darwen End since the unreserved seating policy started. In fact the whole ground was a lot quieter than of late.

[Mattyblue]

Early ko perhaps?

BBE chant to Fabregas had him and everyone else chuckling though.

[Ossydave]

The Darwen end teeny boppers hadn't drank as much shandy as usual due to the early KO, therefore were less boisterous

[brfcmad1979]

I loved the song about Arsene Wenger, his bag of sweets and cheeky smile!
