They may do, but we need to keep our family stand sterile from it That's the point of a family stand Anyone swearing in a family stand is an idiot and needs pointing out to the club and kicking out Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggoisgod Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I wasn't in the family stand (north lepp end) but I was driven to apoplectic rage on about 80 mins when 3 players neshed tackles and allowed bristol to stride forward. My language was literally uncontrollable for about 20 seconds. I apologise to anyone sat around me but not been as mad since the pigs game. Watching Wednesday is seriously not good for my health and I'm sick of the lot of em 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pleasure. The number of shows I've seen live and on telly, and had to switch off because of foul language is amazing. It would appear that very few people can get by without swearing these days. I'm no prude, and can F&B with the best after 30years underground, but there are times and places, and the Family Stand is NOT one of them. I suggest you attempt to get the seat no. then report it to the club, who I'm sure will take appropriate action. The main trouble today is that nobody seems to respect anyone else's view or opinion. One of the best parts of my day yesterday happened on the bridge just outside the gates on Penistone Road. Just been dropped off by my daughter, I was approached by a chap in black overcoat wearing a Red hat and Bristol City Scarf. He asked me where he could get a drink , and a simple question turned into a 10 min chat. No swearing, just a pleasant exchange of views. That's the way supporters of any club should behave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcx666 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 My lads got me as a dad so he never had any hope, which is why we stand on the north, also so we can laugh at the woman who literally to this day doesnt seem to know any players names, used to just call Nuhiu "big lad", always gets Hutch and Loovrens confused when we are defending the kop. Makes for a more entertaining game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been on the Kop he will be able to annoy her more by adding some colour to his rants Of course. Lets be honest, at 14 they hear and probably use trooper language every break at school. But the Family Stand has loads of 5-10 year olds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in there because I have a 6 year old and don't want him picking up some of the stuff that's regularly being shouted by adults who appear to just be in groups- no kids in sight, week in week out. There are plenty of other places for people without kids to sit who want to F and Geoff- if you're one of them try and curb your language or if you can't, maybe find somewhere else to sit? We have just the same problem at Bramall Lane. I go with my two young children. We have season tickets in the so-called Family Stand (John Street Stand). Week after week there are clearly articulated obscene mouthfuls coming from the seats all around us. When I point out to them that my children can hear them, they always say 'Sorry'. Unfortunately they are only quiet until the next bad tackle or (in their opinion) questionable refereeing decision. Of course we know that school can often be the same. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have safe places we can get away from it. It's disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club do have a clear policy on not tolerating bad language in the family area. https://www.swfc.co.uk/fans/family/ Which block do you sit in? My S/t is outside the family zone, I originally moved up there a few years ago when I was taking my young un. He's stopped going as much now, probably a good thing as he could be put off for life by the snoozefest we produce all too often but I have kept my seat as the view is great and you can get a good kip without being disturbed during some games! I've not found the offensive language to occur that often where I am to be fair but must confess to the odd uncontrollable rant at the ref every now and again. It's difficult to control as even if you sit in the family area and it's cut down or cut out in there, the kids will still hear the f**k of United, if you don't f*****g bounce or the referee's a w****r from the rest of the ground.

Isn't there a text number to use during the game for an instant action. Seem to remember reading something recently on swfc web site about security in the ground . That probably qualifies. Our idiotic fans would probably then blame the steward for daring to try and sort the problem out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have a season ticket in the Grandstand. I also go on my own. I choose the GS as I like to see the bigger picture when watching football. I like seeing just how static and unmoving our slow motion play is. Anyway, there are groups of middle aged guys who do just shout and swear all match long. Not to mention the guy two rows in front who stands and hurls abuse several times a game for the most minor events. Stewards should do more. One warning and then ejection for the family area IMO.
