It is with sadness that we have to announce that BerlinWaller will not be posting anymore after he drowned while watching Morecambe v Colchester!

Can't decide whether to admire the hardy folk who are determined to remain there in these conditions or to simply question their sanity???

I stood on there with our Gav against Leyton and it was only spitting but we got soaked and my first thought was shelling out £36 quid for this,
Saying that, even if you pay the £24 to sit in the cheap seats, should you venture below row F you're still in for a damp afternoon.

I take my hat off to anyone crazy enough to stand on that terrace in the winter but they can't have it both ways, best place of all in summer.

3 of us cranks managed 30+ minutes on there today, p!ssed wet through bottom half. In decent weather, no better place to watch the game, oh and “advise” the liner. :D

Hands up, my son bottled it after 35mins and we went behind the goal. My lad couldn't hack it, soft arse.

They shouldn't be allowed in the stand unless they pay the extra £1 8-)

Our season tickets can be used for admission for both my friend. I feel the same when all you roofers take our spot on the wall when the sun is shining.

Kept seeing the cameraman's hand as he valiantly kept the lens clear! At one point I seriously wondered if the game would survive.

Fair comment MfcC, but our season tickets are for the Ace. Big G doesn’t mind us going through. Much prefer the Wall, when it isn’t pi$$ing down. :D

Chill out my friend, it was a joke...I sometimes use both (when it’s sunny like BerlinWaller says :lol:). Gives a different perspective of the game

Having personally experienced the best and worst of that terrace, I can safely say that I'm not worthy because I just don't have what it takes to be an 'out and out' BerlinWaller

There must have been 10 meters of water in the Berlin Wall yesterday.... At one point it was as high as the wall :?

All part of Lower league football..... I love it
