Bloke used to sit near us and started every conversation with "eh?", so we nicknamed him "eh" until we got to know his name.
I get called ‘bouncy’ by a few. As you may have heard the ponty sing to me ‘he’s gunna bounce in a minute’
Weve got Mr 'comin n'moor me' which he repeats (to himself) no mates or owt! Just chunters it after every home defeat. Never misses a match
Couple of years ago on the ponty, we had a nickname for 5 middle aged guys sat in front of us They were: Racist, Ignorant, Drunken, Foul Mouthed, and Abusive We could interchange their nicknames no problem, they all had those attributes. I lodged a complaint with the club, their behaviour was atrocious. To solve the problem the club offered to move us out of their proximity So when I hear the "racist behaviour will not be tolerated" etc etc I just have to laugh
We also had 5 young lads (16-17yrs old) sat in front of us all with ridiculous but different hair styles. We called then No Direction as a group, but boy band 'ead as individuals. To their faces like. They just giggled but never spoke to eachother for 90mins.
Onion Bag. Sits in Ponty, whenever we get the ball beyond the halfway line he just yells "gerrit in't onion bag!", doesn't matter what the situation is, it's almost like an involuntary response...
On a lighter note we used to call one guy "sorry" As in "oh god sorry's here" He used to arrive 3 minutes after kick off, leave his seat 3 times during the first half, leave 5 minutes before half time, come back 5 minutes into second half with a pie, again have 3 more breaks in the second half, then leave 5 minutes before the end, whatever the score. His one and only word I ever heard him speak was "sorry" as he shuffled along the row getting everyone up.
Back in the days of the old ponty, even though you could move freely, everyone seemed to prefer a regular spot. There was Kelvins little gang who stood together in front of the big gap at the back. Kelvin (you all know him at least by sight) was called "****" because it was his word of choice. His brother Ashley was called Graham Pugh on account of his beard. Other members of their gang were father Christmas, weasel and the undertaker. There were also a bloke at the front we called wizards as he used to shout "red and white wizards" a lot. Others included Elmo from brushstokes, Russ Abbott and the lion from wizard of Oz. As you can see we had vivid imaginations as kids but it was a good laugh spotting all these lookalikes - some still go today.
I used to sit in front of Mr Rocket Fuel Science so named because of his regular exasperated shouts of "It's not effing rocket fuel science!" I moved, and ended up next to "Come and sit up 'ere wi me Bobby, cos tha's doin no good darn theer."
We've got a fella a few seats down from us we call "stressed Eric". He always looks like he's going to combust when things aren't going our way.
Pie Face and Blinky, two guys in their mid to late 20s who used to sit in front of me, Pie Face used to shove his entire face into his pie to eat it and Blinky because he used to turn blink a lot
Brothers Grim were another 2. Always blazed on vodka. Sat with their dad and he was as bad aswell. They fell asleep every match right in front of stewards in Ponty. Never got kicked out. Would wake up a HT and get hip flasks out!!!!!!!!
