Before the match I seen a very drunk swindon fan,quite old bloke.He had a bright green jacket on and one of those red and white hats on and he was walking about singing on his own.During the game I looked over to the townend and could see him stood up with his carrier bag shouting and whatever else.The stewards told him off and then chucked him out! :D
Is that not a bit harsh,or was he being abusive?

My uncle owns a bright green jacket....but he wasn't at the game.

He was being abusive and got asked several times to go back to his seat and didn't!2 people actually got kicked out yesterday! :soapy tit wank:

yes he was the one with the steward jacket on with the BHS bag and the red and white wig

He walked past me as we walked into the ground, it must have been day release?.

myself and leggett were sat just behind him, i'm not sure if he was drunk or mental (the line seems to blur a bit these days). we assumed he was mental... his stunt with the toilet roll was amazing.

he was causing absolutely no harm to anyone, infact he was being taunted for being mental/drunk and causing some life from the left side of the town end.

i really do wish the stewards would actually go after morons who pick fights instead of people that stand up or have had a few too many brain cells destroyed. anyone could see that this bloke yesterday was going to cause no trouble so it was just a petty act to make the yellow coat wearing bastards feel big and clever.

if anyone feels strongly enough about this as i do i suggest writing to the the club and complaining about steward 37. a) she's a cock b) she tries to make me sit down c) she throws harmless people out d) she's one of very few people that would sleep with leggett and the sexual tension is not pleasant

the stewards in the town end are complete wankers! i applaud the people who tell them to fuck off!

To us she's plain old Pat Butcher!.

She tried handing me one of those letters yesterday and i bluntly told her that i couldnt read.  :roll:

i seriously do think there's grounds for complaint on this one tho. i know standing is against the rules etc but i do it anyways and as pathetic as it is i know they have to try to get people to sit down. it's not something that will harm anyone. but when a mental dude comes in pays his £15 and loses his helper and wheel chair(i elaborated :P) then there's something seriously wank going on

and when the fans abuse the stewards for telling them to sit down nothing happens anyway so what's the point? some fans wont sit down when the stewards tell them too and fair play to them but if the stewards are not going to do anything and just let them stand up anyway what is the point in them telling the fans too in the first place?

The thing is we were standing in the fucking back row!, "oh sorry the wall behind me cant see the game".  :-))(

i dont like the sign that says "sit down, support your club" or something like that! are the club going nuts? we are supporting the club just by turning up and paying £15 to see what sometimes is a pile of shite! the least they can let us do is stand up! i was on the back row too Spuddy! its just pathetic.....

at the end of the day, unless they can PROVE standing at football is a direct health and safety risk, then I think everyone should shut the fuck up or fuck off and die  8)

I can understand last year when talking about people standing in the wrong areas which restrict so medical help getting to someone but in front of your seat, bollocks

Ive got no problems with the stewards having a go at people standing in the aisle cos thats just plain stupid.

Surely it would be harder for a medical team to get to people if everyone was sat down  :-))(

Its not like the townend is a huge stand that could collapse at anytime,its a dinky little thing.Its pathetic that you can't stand up,the atmosphere is a bit better then.I suggest someone writes to the club,asking for half the seats in there to be ripped out.So theres terracing for you yobbos on one side and seats for the others that like to sit down on the other side :wink:  8)
(Going back to the funny man,the best bit was when he got escorted out, he chucked his BHS bag on the floor like he was having a playschool tantrum and started kicking it :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: )

I was about to post exactly the same thing

that old bloke is well funny. dont know why he got chucked out but he seems harmless enough.

mad dad & his fat daughter got thrown out for shouting racist stuff at the boston keeper. prick

Yeah i heard someone shout "Chalky!" what a twat that bloke is.  :evil:

Tony Blair was on Football Focus yesterday and got asked about terracing and if it could ever come back and the answer was a simple "NO".

I know why it was got rid of after Hillsborough etc, but I used to prefer standing so much more, better atmosphere etc. And a lot of the lower league clubs still have terracing anyway so I can't see why clubs at our level couldn't go back to terracing providing it meets safety requirements etc. Sadly I know that will never happen.

that guy is abit weird, i saw him outside the town end before the game too, was very odd bloke.

also, standing in the aisles is abit stupid, but standing where your seat is isn't. they won't get anywhere on friday and thats for definite!

That's no way to talk about the Prime Minister! Well, maybe it is

terracing isnt comming back.

Just have to make the best of it.

cunt. glad you fucked off back east son :P














ol' pat butcher is a bellend, she seems to be the only one who takes the sitting down thing seriously, nobody else gives a fuck.

Tony Blair really did give a very defiant no to terracing, bit of a shame, but then he is a plastic fan.

Yeah I saw Pat Butcher in there ... she was getting loads of stick and rightly so ... they want us to be loud and proud and when we do they want to chuck us out and ban us??

This club needs to get its act together on PR .. start by sacking FAT PAT!

To be fair if the stewards did chuck out mad dad on Saturday they deserve a pay rise, that bloke is a fucking moronic cock smoker of the highest calibre.  I'm glad they chucked the retard out!

Racist mad dad got what he deserved. I hope he isn't alllowed back for some time too.

Re: Standing - Why can you stand up at half time? Is that not just as dangerous?

The problem with the standing issue is that the licensing authority are really coming down on clubs to ensure persistent standing is stamped out.  If you look at other clubs, all their fans complain as well and several clubs have had their away ticket allocations cut in half becuase of away fans standing as well (Man Utd at Middlesboro for example).

As much as it's a stupid rule, there is nothing the club can do - one Chairman came out and agreed with terracing and promptly got censured by all and sundry (and the club probably has more focus on it by the licensing auth as a result).

Personally, I think it would be interesting to see the hole rule challenged by a fans group on the basis that they find every moment in the 90 minutes exciting (because for some bizarre reason you can stand when it gets exciting and suddenly it's all safe to do so!).

The very best that can be arranged at the mo is for an area to be designated by the club, such as Nat side of TE.  In that section a slight relaxing of the interpretation of "exciting" monents can be applied allowing for longer periods of standing.  That overcomes the small problem of some people complaining about people standing by knowing which specific spot not to by tickets for.

Maybe you lot should start singing "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it" this will have two effects, the stewards will think, "oh, they're all excited so they can stand up" and the away fans will think you're a bunch of batty boys.  Which would be quite funny.

Just an idea.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: It may not happen a lot this season though :( .
Personally,as i sit in the south stand a lot of this goes over my head,mercifully i have no idea what Pat/mad dad looks like or what they say :) .In the south stand all we have is shouty angry bloke,who sees it as his personal mission to shout at the bastard refs,everyone else seems to have given up slightly already :( .
