Pompeyowl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Why does standing create atmosphere? All the unsym-pathetic people......what if it was your Nan? They had paid to SIT in an area designated to SIT. The ticket has even got advice and a number to text to report STANDING as ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR..........why do some people think they have a right to stand Because they have feet.

captain jack Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 My lads are 6 and 9 and fellow Wednesdayites in front of the played the game and realised they wouldn't see the game if they stood up so thanks for that, block 242 row 10 seats 74,76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Maybe They make the rules but havent enforced them The rules are the same at every ground. They are printed on nearly every ticket. But it's a football match. People standing make a lot of noise. It's always been that way, and that's how we like it. If you want to sit, sit on the front row. If you don't like the rowdiness, go to the opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeyowl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Couldn't choose your rows though could you? Not yesterday, no. I was generalising. It amazes me that people buy tickets towards the middle / back of a stand and then squinny that other fans are standing and jumping around, enjoying theirselves infront of them.

Maybe its because the ticket says NO STANDING and carries a "helpline" But when there are people with your attitude there isnt much hope of consideration for others to enjoy a football match and watch the team they have watched for maybe 50 years or more.

AlbertOB Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Maybe Wembley should've had a OAP section in the middle??? Or a standing section or warn on the tickets that the NO STANDING regulation is ignored Or better still, enforce the rules they make........in fact are they rules or are they laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love going to watch wednesday & they couldnt enjoy it as they should have yesterday & it totally spoilt it for them. My brain dead comments. Ok pal. Let's stop all the adults, that work full time jobs to part with their hard earnt cash on a regular basis, from having the same fun that they've been having since they were young enough to go because the kid behind can't see. Seriously, if someone behind me wants to sit, I'll happily swap seats with them. If everyone behind me is sitting, I'll sit to save arguing with them. I'm not the selfish type. But it is common knowledge that standing makes the better atmosphere, which is what sets going to the game apart from sitting at home and watching.

Wath-owl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Was great to see so many fans stood up for the full 90 yesterday. It definitely contributed to the spectacular atmosphere. It's regrettable in situations like the OP, but I would say the younger lads were still well within their rights to remain standing, given the occasion and the fact that most of our end were stood up. People grassing on their fellow fans doesn't sit too well with me I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you will get old one day Ok. You know me better than I know myself. I'm so very inconsiderate because I don't let a bit of writing on a ticket police my choice to stand at my favourite pass time. I'll no doubt die before I get old(er), but if I do, and I can't stand for long, I'll choose to sit near the front, so as to not sponge the fun out of those that wish to stand.

Sonny Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you want to sit through a game then don't go to a play off final. Simple After spending days trying to get other people to help you get a ticket I thought you'd probably be a bit more appreciative of all Wednesdayites.

Chardron Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 After spending days trying to get other people to help you get a ticket I thought you'd probably be a bit more appreciative of all Wednesdayites. I never said I wasn't appreciative but if you go to a play off final what do you expect? I had blisters on my feet and wanted to sit, especially after Hull scored but wanted to keep standing and encouraging the players cause as soon as people start sitting others follow and the atmosphere drops. Imagine if everybody sat? Can't deny that the atmosphere would not be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have points thank you, obviously didn't read my post. I never said they shouldn't have gone either, just don't complain that people want to stand.

Nobody's saying the oldies shouldn't go, but they will probably remember the days of the terraces and the atmosphere that came with the terraces. They'll no doubt know that people have always stood at football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
