They put the sprinklers on at half time for some reason the pitch does not need frigging watering, it has rained a hell of a lot.
 
I believe it is this exactly their is among some a lack of pride and a lack of respect for not only the Stadium but the area in general in fact some seem to take pride in how downtrodden and bad the northeast is and at times it really annoys me. Our roots are our roots with hard working strong people who would stand tall and puff their chest out, they would show pride and at times arrogance about their clubs and areas but things like throwing rubbish on the ground a spitting out gum in the street were not tolerated. I can remember my Nana washing her step every Sunday morning and there were people up and down the street doing the same as it was not considered right to have a dirty step at your front door and now we have scruffy dirty that's who can not be arsed to put rubbish in their pockets to put in a bin later.
In the whole scheme of things it is a small thing but it smack of the attitude of today's society, of the I'm alright jack attitude and the let somebody else do it, the quick fix and it is somebody else's problem and of kids being taught about gaming the system rather than how to find a good job and work for what you want. Where has pride and honour gone.
Honour or being an honourable person used to be a thing but in these days of woke agendas and feminist/misogynistic, Racist, homophobic, gendersensitive or any other key words you could think of somebody will always find a way to twist words to suit whatever point they want to make instead of looking to what is meant by the words and the true feelings behind them.
Words can only be offensive when underlying hate and or ignorance is meant.
Honour and pride in the area and Stadium should be instilled in all supporters that sense of pride they often sing about.
'I can't help falling in love with you' you don't treat something you love like that.
Rant owa.
.

Good rant, could have written myself.
There’s a lack of pride , a lack of aspiring for best. Just being better than worst is ok . In litter terms, instead of wanting to be a person who never litters, it’s a case of what’s the problem with my 3 pieces, some people drop 6. Standards and expectations get dragged down
 
I think the problem of the litter blowing around could be partially solved with waist high netting on the railings between the fans and the pitch, I think that would catch most of the rubbish.
I was even thinking whilst watching the match, give a few kids a landing net each and let them catch stuff blowing around off the pitch :emoticon-0136-giggl

Stopping people dropping litter in the first place is more of a problem, and as per the rants earlier in the thread, it drives me mad.

I have a private car park at my business premises, but without gates. We often get cars coming in after hours and have had to clear up all kinds or rubbish, commonly, Mac D meal packaging, after someone parked to eat their takeaway, then just opened the car door to drop their litter. Condoms and tissues, I'll leave that to your imagination, plus babies disposable nappies, drink cans and bottles etc.
Why? Where has respect gone?
