Eastleigh Owl Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 We don't need fans who won't blatantly disregard stadium regulations. I don't know how old Salmonbones' dad is but it sounds like he's supported The Owls all his life through thick and thin and now he thinks he's getting to old because he can't stand and see the game because younger people think they can break rules and everyone else can just fo ok off. It's disgraceful and they should be ashamed of themselves. Now maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but when I was younger, we didn't have people like that, I always thought the other lot had more than their fair share of selfish people, but we didn't,How things have changed.

Lets just say when his dad came home from the war he got a slap for asking his dad "who are you then" as a 7 year old. As an aside, my Grandad would have possibly been a pro footballer had it not been for the war, he was offered contracts as a keeper to several local sides - sadly not Wednesday though.

Guest Deleted member Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 In all seriousness, hope your Dad relents. My parents are in their 80s and have renewed for 3 years on Kop. They've not missed more than 10 games since 1981. Much like Bez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 So here's a genuine question for the "standers"..... One of the main themes of your side of the discussion has been "if you can't stand, watch it at home on the tele" or " only those that don't normally go complain about standing" So let's say we get to the play off final next year, given the above 2 points, would you rather us sell 25,000 tickets and all stand, or 45,000 tickets and all sit? And do you really believe that 25,000 people standing amongst cavernous gaps will create more noise and atmosphere than 45,000 packed in and seated?

stanningtonowl Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 ''Foul'' language is used in all football grounds. I swore plenty of times within Wembley. Racism is against the law, homophobia too. So no. I don't link laws are bendable.. Foul language in a public place is an offence and arrestable. The f and the c words. S5 public order act.

saf Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 The irony after all this is the fact that Liverpool fans stand up on their Kop during games. I know. But they're all loveable rogues don't you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's doesn't just apply at football. It's everywhere that's public. If you're in a notifiable occupation (teacher?) you should be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
