  1. You don’t realise how bad the language is until you take a child to the ground. 
    All you can do is tell the child to ignore the rude words.

    You won’t get it stopped so don’t get over anxious about it.  Or if you can’t ignore it, keep away, kids understand it’s wrong if you explain it to them.  They’ll hear the same language in the playground at school at some time and you won’t be there to sort that out.

    The only game I recall "All of the East Stand were standing", we were all standing for The Tin Man!  One game!

    Singing stand, yes.
    We are not allowed to stand.  The club may turn a blind eye to standing, but that is most definitely not the same as it "Being allowed".

     

    Sorry mate, but no club at this level has permission for standing in seated areas.  (Forget dedicated Safe Standing areas for this conversation... that's a separate topic).
    If the club announced it would allow fans to stand, The FA (Or EFL... or someone in authority?) would fine us, and the HSE (Or whoever is in charge of stadium safety?) would revoke our safety certificate, which would mean closures (Either for that individual stand, or the stadium in full). 
    Standing IS NOT ALLOWED.  There has been no official statement from the club to say "Standing is allowed"!

    Just like if the club announced we could drink alcohol in view of the pitch.  They would be breaking the law, and get into trouble. 
    Yes, people may sneak it in.  Yes, the stewards may turn a blind eye if they spot you... Even I have been known to do it (Every time we are at home on Boxing Day), and I rarely drink alcohol, and less so on matchdays... but that doesn't mean drinking alcohol at your seat is allowed!

    I still love yer, mate... but you are talking twaddle!  

    Yeah but…

    Perhaps @archramis reaching the stage where the west stand comes into its own? I notice people get grumpier as they start getting on in years so they will be in their element shouting "bloody rubbish, Derby!" at every misplaced pass, and there's no shame in a flask and a nice warm blanket. And it's quiet enough to nod off if you want ?

    What happens when you get a large gathering of grumpy old folk though in the west stand though? No unsuspecting calm fans to vent their grumpiness too only one another?

    Do they instantaneously combust when a pass goes astray?

    I think the club has to spread them out a bit to comply with the Fire Safety Certificate.

    Look it’s not his fault he wants a screw driver and only has a toolbox full of spanner’s is it?

    Yeah, but there was a bigger knock before last nights little knock, don't forget.

    That's two knocks so far, of varying dimensions.  

    Many more knocks, and we'll be knocking on the mid-table trapdoor.

     

    ...Not that I'm knocking your enthusiasm, mind!   ?

    Knockers, there’s too many about! Get behind the lads!!
