So back to the point I really hope that the atmosphere we built up last season continues into this season and isn’t quietened or softened because a small small minority maybe get upset by some naughty words in songs.

Just checking - you're saying being more tolerant and understanding of fellow human beings and just being a bit nicer to everyone is an awful ideology? And you're saying it's scientifically provable that being purposefully offensive to other people makes society better? I'd genuinely like to know because I think it's interesting to hear other people's opinions and try to understand where they're coming from atherstoneram and Dimmu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Isn't there a herd of elephants in the stadium no one is mentioning? How about banning the sale and consumption of alcohol at matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect most people that are too worse for wear at matches have had most of their drinks before they arrive at the ground. atherstoneram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is true, and allowing them to have more during the game could only go one way. It's a great pity for the fans who fancy a beer during the game and can handle it, but as ever with English football, we're catering for the lowest common denominator. Myself, I rarely fancy drinking during the game, but I'm sure others would really appreciate having a couple because they may not have the opportunity before and/or after. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nishfan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I took my 2 before they started school - over 20 years ago, we all had season tickets . My daughter still has a season ticket with me. I used to cringe at the language, hand gestures etc when my 2 were young. it doesn’t have to be like that, to still be a great atmosphere personally I don’t like all the foul language, so clearly I can’t abide abuse either. just expressing my views so be nice to me ?

Possibly but I strongly suspect the individuals who can’t enjoy football without being drunk drink plenty before they arrive and would just drink more in advance if alcohol wasn’t available in the ground.

I think most people shut their ears to it anyway, i dont mind swearing ,it when the vile songs start that i cant stand, surley our fans didnt think it was acceptable when opposing fans sang about the phillpot children, so not acceptable we do the same against various players families. angieram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They especially know more than the people who turn up now and again dont want to be offended by any bad language and would rather sit in silence, buy halfscarves and use clapping sticks or god forbid “hold a can I have your shirt please placard” But that's the way the game is going,clubs would rather have families attending using clapping sticks etc which brings in more revenue rather than those who cause trouble, times are changing.

I agree you’re absolutely correct and the those who don’t fit are no longer wanted I get that. Let’s see how that pans out as the atmosphere dies on its arse. The goals seems to be a soccer aid type event crowd each week, it won’t be sustainable. Look at the attendances in the North V south stand week in week out, it tells me which people prefer.

Look at the attendances in the North V south stand week in week out, it tells me which people prefer. There will still be an atmosphere, just a different way of creating that atmosphere. What some consider banter and goading some consider otherwise. The banter nowadays seems more personal,yes i have stood on the popside chanting at away supporters they were going home in an ambulance etc. As others have posted it doesn't happen in other sports and the tribalism is still there.

Anag Ram Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 My take is that it’s more joyous to sing in praise of your own team. We’re supposed to be supporting our players and songs denigrating the opposition won’t do that. Just need a bit more variety. Even simple stuff like Hey Jude with the title replaced by Derby. No limits sung to the tune go go go go go go go Derby County I’ll fetch me coat. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
