Full Back
During the Len Ashurst era (I'd have been about 12/13 when he got sacked) I can distinctly remember the name of one lad who stood at the front of the Fulwell End behind the goal.
PASTIE......he looked a few years older than me so possibly 15 or 16 in 84/85 and he would dash about all over the terracing well before kick-off....always 4 or 5 other lads about the same age.
I can't recall what he looked like but his name I've never forgotten.!!!

No, apart from my dad.
 
I sat rather than stood, but yes I remember the personalities of the couple of people who sat around me, albeit I can't remember what they looked like.
 
Clockstand seats pour moi mate. Didn't know anyone other than my brother and wife who sat either side of me.

Edit. Though there was a bloke who hilariously shouted "Puskas" every time Vic Halom got the ball. Was funny the first time, but the 4231 times after that, not so much.

Used to stand in the fullwell up the stairs turn left second barrier down (spelt Fulwell wrong mate) and this lad always used to stand behind us and shout funny random things he
Was canny entertaining.
Moving on a few years I had my mate up mine for a barbie and a few of the neighbours popped in and the lass along the street brought her new boyfriend.
Twas the same lad my mate recognised the voice immediately, I got to know him quite well canny lad he was.
We Both moved house and lost touch again ha ha
 
Yeah some class people that we never stayed in touch with and apart from one that we bumped into at the first game at the SoL, haven't seen any of them since.
 
Had my first season ticket in the Clock Stand, looking across the box at the Fulwell End. There was an absolute radge packet sat next to me. God knows how old he was - 40s / 50s maybes?

Every game he'd sit there with his digestive biscuits wrapped in tin foil, and he'd rock back and forth on his chair, which given the structure of the seating in the Clock Stand would make the whole row shake. And at times he'd gan absolutely ballistic, which me n me dad still laugh about now. "WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO NOW REID?!?!"

When the returning villain Kasey Keller came to Roker, having previously gotten Don Goodman sent off, he was positively incandescent with rage. I didn't know if he was going to explode or run onto the pitch and take him out himself, but his face was red, his digestives broken, and bits of half eaten biscuit were flying everywhere. Absolute nutter. Will never be forgotten. :lol:

No I can't remember any of them because we were never properly introduced. (They were football supporters or something such like I think.)

We finished our RP journey in the Clock Stand. Used to have two old guys behind us we called the “this is it” men. Every single time the opposition crossed the half way line you’d hear “this is it” in unison from the two of them. Clearly weren’t a pair of optimists.
 
Yeah I do, stood around them all for about 10 years and it was always the same faces. Remember a couple of their names as well. Seemed to be me, my brother and dad, a fella who stood near us that was from a village just above Hartlepool but lived in Hartlepool I have as a friend in Facebook nowadays. Their was another group next to us that from my vague recollections were all family but I remember their faces well.
Their is one face that never stood right next to us at Roker but a bit down and to the right and he sits fairly close to us now, up behind us at the SoL.

Lad in the Fulwell called Ham, a skinhead. @Vauxie knows of him though I don't know Vauxie. Ham would shout "It's beef" at random moments during the match. Never saw him anywhere other than the match.
