Family friendly football = ****

I've just got my letter about renewing my season ticket, and i've just seen the new stadium plan. ****ing disgrace. There's going to be no such thing as banter in our ground anymore!!

Imagine the derby days!! The Sunderland fans turn up in their thousands, to be challenged in a verbal battle by little ****ing kids and their mams holding their pack lunches!! ****ing brilliant Mr Ashley!! You've made the club more attractive to families, but you've taken away what football is all about. Passion and ****ing banter!!! The whole ****ing upper tier man!!

Also, i was disgusted to find out that 25-30k of the seats for the champions league final at wembley, are reserved for families aswell!! ****!!

I'm sick of this new family friendly ****. People might say "well you'd think different if you had kids". No i wouldn't!! I'd most likely be going with my dad or friends, who swear anyway, and i'd take my kid when i think he's ready to handle the language.

AND ALSO - All it takes is a word with your child. Take them to one side and say "look, i don't mind you swearing at matches, but you are not to use those words at school, or in public, or you'll get a smacked bottom". SIMPLE AS. Simple parenting man!! Also, if you personally cannot handle the words as an adult.... don't come to matches! Certain individuals may be kicked out for offending you, but there will be chants and songs with swearing in, and the police can't kick out everyone.

We work hard during the week, and all we want is to ****ing support the toon and get alot of stress off our chests. If it were up to them, we'd all be saying **** like "oh dear, James Perch you stupid boy, you've just let that man fool you. Oh my god mr linesman, very poor decision, Leon Best was clearly on side you naughty naughty official".

 

"look I don't mind you swearing at matches"
All you need to read to identify a ******ed Geordie cock

 

Had on... is the family encolsure now next to the away fans or am I reading this wrong?

 

I have to agree (to a certain extent)..nothing wrong with a family section, it's that old chiche about getting the next generation in, but putting familes and 'the nice people' next to the away fans is just plain stupid. This doesn't just apply to SJP, it applies to every club in the land - the homes team most vociferous and passionate fans should always be as close to the away fans as possible. It's that banter, abuse, chanting and yes, sometimes scary edge that gets the whole rest of the ground going. People talk every year about making it 'fortress SJP', well a massive part of that is having a massively hostile and aggressive crowd (by hostile & aggressive I mean verbally), and the new steating plans definetly won't help with that. Here's hoping the powers that be look carefully at the atmosphere within the ground next season, and are big enough to hold their hands up and change it again for the following season. But don't hold your breath..oh, for those days on a packed and swaying Gallowgate under the old scoreboard, that was some noise.

 

Calm down.

You remember those days AFC?

 

Stop swearing so much you utter moron.

 

BT thinks bad language is macho, he hasn't been out in the world yet.

Oh aye! For some reason one day sticks in the mind, just after we'd got promoted, 3rd game in against Villa, Beardsley and Waddle scored and we won 3-0, atmosphere that day was electric (I was in the corner of the Gallowgate that day). And Gazza's 1st game back after he joined the spuds - the 'mars bar' match. Dave Beasant and Andy Thorns (and possibly John Robertsons) debuts. If you transported anyone under 30 back to those days, they wouldn't beleive the wall of sound we could generate. Fantastic.

 

It would have raised the roof, if there'd been a roof on!

 

So genius, where do you expect the next generation of fans to come from if parents don't want to take their kids to the match because idiots like you can't express yourself without profanity? How do you expect the club to spend the vast fortunes you expect to be spent on all these great players you keep saying we should sign? How do you expect the club to pay the vast fortunes you want to pay players if people don't want to go to matches because people don't want to listen to your ranting and swearing?

 

There was a roof but it kept on being risen until it became to annoying to replace it every time.

 

The next generation CAN come in, and i never said they shouldn't, but what i'm saying is that we shouldn't have to tone down our language totally, just because certain others are offended by it. I like swearing, so do most people that go to football matches, it's part of the passion mate. It make not be part of your catalog, but it comes out when i get emotional at a match.

I'm just pissed off that the most passionate part of the stadium, the place where the banter and chanting is so lively, is being turned into a kiddies section!!! So shut the fu... flip up about me not realising the next generation of football fans, i love seeing the younguns here, but i'm not going to tone myself down to calling the referee a scoundrel and a tinker, just because it offends some people. I'm not being racist, sexist or homophobic mate, and i don't use "****" at matches, but i will swear, and that's just part of the passion. How often do you see it on tv, people standing up doing the "****er" gesture, when a player on the opposing team messus up or shoots one wide? ALL THE TIME!

I'll take my kids to matches, and if they learn swear words from it, i don't care. There's nothing wrong with swearing, all you need to do is know when not to use it, and i do know the barriers. At football matches, EXPECT SOME SWEARING. It's not like i'm shouting "****ing ****" at every decision that goes against us, just at some heated moments at the game. Whats wrong with that? I'm not against families, i just hate family friendly PG football.

 

RIP Bartons Tash - You are a dickhead.

What gives you the right to say whatever you want? I agree with you that there is some place for banter, but there are still about 40,000 seats available for that. All this means is that those who elect to sit in a family zone can they enjoy the sport, on which they choose to spend their hard-earned, in the way they enjoy it.

Perhaps the reason they have adjusted the seating bits is to reduce the violence and aggression between the teams?

You say, 'I hate family friendly PG football,' well, that's why you have a pick of 40,000 seats where you can say, quite literally, whatever the **** you want. But at the top of the stand, those who disagree with your statement can go and sit at the back of the stand.

Go on, shout at me. But to be honest, if you're this much of a dickhead in real life, you're not going to have kids to mess up anyway.

We have the greatest and largest language in the world, by the way, so why don't you take a thesaurus to the Bolton game?

 

Ok, let me ask you this. What is the point of putting the young persons section, right next to the away fan section? Please answer me that question mate.

 

RIP TASH sit down take a few deep breaths and count to 10 if you can lol.

 

Is this guy on pills?











I really think he should be...

 

Thought you were supposed to hold your breath for 5 mins at times like this.

 

Or in RIPS case indefinately

 

RIP DOES have a point mind, everything these days is brushed up and sanatised and 'nice'. Now before anyone makes assumptions, I've never swung a punch, stuck the wood in (that's headbutting, not a sexual euphemism!) or anything of like before during or after a match. I 'm not a hooligan or a thug.

BUT...I do love matches when the atmospheres boiling, , when you're not 100% sure that evrythings going to pass of calmly and the noise around you is deafening. That's when being a supporters at it's best for me. And to retain some of that atomosphere, families and 'nice' people should not be located next to the away fans.

As I've alreay said last nite, having the noisiest most passionate fans put next the the away end creates the atomsphere that spreads around the rest of the ground. I truly don't want to go back to the old days of rucking inside & outside the ground and people and families being scared to go - but just as passionately I don't want SJP to have a Disney shop, bouncy castle and 50,000 nice and quiet well behaved 'supporters' who sit pilotely watching the game, clapping when soemthing nice happens.

If you're worried about people hearing rude words at football matches, or someone occasionally being a little bit nervous, get yersel' a dress and join the W.I.
