There are none so blind as those who wont see
i know und understand why we call the Poznan the Poznan but why?

The fist time I saw the Poznan being done was by the PSG supporters whe we played them. I must say IIRC the PSG fabs seemed to be much more aggressive in the way that they did it but they certainly were the first group to turn their back on play and jump up and down.

Away at Poznan it was more gentile and the whole stadium part took. I don't think we played PSG away that season because the Europa League was strange, IIRC an odd number if teams but you only played each side onc either home or away (rather than home and away) and you had a rest week when the other teams played each other. I can't remember if it was five or seven team groups.... I think it was five.

Does anyone else remember the PSG fans doing the 'Poznan'?

I remember them fighting with eachother
 
Maybe it's because we light heartedly mocked it against Poznan and it just stuck. The Poznan lot were mighty fuckers, I remember getting into the stadium an hour early to see 6,000 odd Polish supporters all about 6 and a half foot tall cramming the away end chanting in unison haha

What, all 6000 were odd. That's a bit of a generalisation, don't you think

I walked down from the gasometer and up JM Way. They were big lads. It's all those labouring jobs their grandads did for Adolf. Puts muscle where the rest of us have fresh air.
 
When we went there, they had a whole different set of moves. I remember one stand split into blue shirts at one end, whites at the other and... they all just ran at each other?

After the match, we went to a kebab shop. There was this 6ft6in guy who came up to me and said "Hey!" then started crying into the flag he had draped round him. Daft sod.

I wish "Gonna get along without you now" stuck. :(
 
It was ace when we started doing the poznan, as everyone got up straight away and we had a whole stand/ground doing it. The last couple of years it turned into a half-arsed Mexican wave type thing where people would wait for it to reach their block. By the time one block started, the block next to it had finished. Doesn't have the same effect when it's like that. Would love to carry it on but as it was in the beginning

The reason it began to die out was because we were playing some fantastic football at the time and scoring bucket loads of goals. Getting up every 10 minutes for a bounce was more exercise than most fans got in a year!

I used to see some proper lard arses around me blowing a gale, turning purple and looking on the verge of collapse after one round of the Poznan. Funnily enough, with the crap, turgid football we're witnessing at the moment even the lard arses would be able to manage the odd bounce here and there, that's if doing the Poznan to a consolation goal doesn't make us look like dicks.
