It's actually an urban myth, there isn't now, nor has there ever been a law allowing people to kill the Welsh in Chester.

There is still an ancient law that states you can be charged £200 or be sent to prison for up to 51 weeks, if you're found guilty of being drunk in charge of a horse, a cow, or a steam engine, so watch out any farmers out there who decide to pop for lunch in the pub in your steam tractors. <ok>

Apparently it's still on the statute books that Hackney Carriages must carry a bale of hay as feed for the horse!

Fascinating, I know!!

There are a couple of old laws at the Houses of Parliament that were never repealed..

No Honourable Member of the House of Commons may enter the House wearing a suit of armour.

No Honourable Member is allowed to die within the Houses of Parliament. :emoticon-0112-wonde

so standing in a seated area at a football match is still illegal then?

and is £30 for a ticket at the knuckle draggers ethically sound?

Why have people started to sit down at away games? It completely ****s up the atmosphere. Also they moan at people standing up. Saying they cant see and they pay to sit down. It really angers me as I believe u should always stand up at away games. To all them people that sit down, explain why?

The Forest stewards were mini Hitlers but some Tigers fans did annoy the heck out many fellow fans. But when i asked the head steward to allow and move all the standers to an area that was empty (within the away end) so that they could stand up he nearly had a heart attack. Stand he said ? you must be jokling this is nottingham forest so you must sit. <yikes>

i did hear that 25 smokers were ejected @ ht and at least 12 others ejected for persisting standing. what a joke but at least the result made up for all the hassle. with much hope we wont be going back to forest anytime soon. :biggrin:

You are obviously incapable of reading or understanding other people posts. Also you seem to think your opinion matters more than anyone elses. Other people have rights. If they buy a ticket for a seat, they have a right to sit in that seat and watch the game, you don't seem to be capable of grasping that simple fact, are you special needs?

Lets try an experiment. Next time you are in the West Stand, which is full of people WHO DO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CLUB , BY THE WAY, which is more important than your idea of atmosphere, stand up and obscure the person behinds view. When the steward comes along tell him/her they are sanctimonious for telling you to sit down. The result will suit everyone, even you who will no longer have to suffer your match-day experience being ruined.

As I have said in previous threads, what you wish the club to do with regard to issuing two types of seat tickets, will never happen under existing regulations as THE CLUB WOULD BE BRAKING HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS. It aint gunna happen. Ridiculous as H&S is it is there, that is a fact and it has the full force of the law behind it.

After 48 years I don't need the likes of you telling me who is a fan. You won't have been there in the days when we often couldn't even fill one bus.
..........and you call me sanctimonious!!! Where's my irony jpeg?

Tell you what, tell me what my name is, tell me how long I have been supporting City (irrelevant as that is to this debate), tell me which was my first ever game.

What? You can't? I thought you knew everything about me, the way you've been banging on.

You lost the argument Amberosia. If you you don't believe me ring the Club up and ask them, unless they are being sanctimonious as well.

You want to read what people put. I'm in the West Stand because I can't stand for longer periods and didn't want to be sounding a sanctimonious so and so like some on here telling people to sit down especially as I'd rather be stood myself. So why would I be standing up in the West Upper in the first place?
I'm sure you and you kids stick to every law(standing in a ground is not against the law, you can't be fined for it, it is a ground regulation) don't exceed any speed limit, drop litter and your kids don't watch any videos or play games with age restrictions on.

Perhaps we should ban the sale of drinks and food on the concourse and ban people with weak bladders as I had to stand up constantly for a procession of people wanting to use the toilet, go early to order their haqf time drinks and food, coming back late from their drinks and food, going to the toilet again and leaving 5 minutes early as their time is too important to be held up in a queue. All these people meant I had to stand up, inconveniencing myself and blocking the view of those behind me.

Here's a clip from a similar size ground. How I wish we could have something similar at our ground. No doubt if you were over there you and your kids would have made them all sit down -or else.[video=youtube;piPrkoQFVqo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piPrkoQFVqo&feature=related[/video]

my son & I stood through the whole game as did everyone around us. not the slightest bit of hassle from stewards or any other supporters. I did take exception at one drunken twat who insisted on lighting up and blowing smoke in junior's face. the offender didn't reappear after half time.

you should have been where i was. they should allocate an area for standers to end this rubbish.
 
God I remember seeing that fire live on TV. With the idiot fans cheering and trying to get there faces on tv. And the fans on fire and burning.

Safety was definitely a thing of the future in football grounds in those days. Scary.
 
Stand 90% of the time or sit 90% of the time. Just don't be up and down like a yo-yo for 90 minutes, it's bloody annoying!
