An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Sadly this is a bit of moan, which I hate doing. I thought 99.9% of our fans were simply brilliant today. But sadly I thought a handful of our fans stepped over a line today when celebrating our goals perhaps a little too exuberantly by basically crowd diving into the backs of those fans in the rows in front of them. All boisterous fun and all that, but the mate I was with has a really bad back and just didn't need to have to experience that. There was also a young lad with his dad who could have got hurt. It happened for both our goals and it spoiled my enjoyment of the match because it made me edgy. I'm so glad my Mrs wasn't there as she had planned to. She would have hated it and had she experienced it I reckon she would never have attended another match again. I know I might be being too sensitive about this, but it wasn't pleasant and is potentially dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Always a few knobs who have to take things too far. Not just in football, but in general. Sure someone will be along shortly to defend them though, citing "BANTER!!!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-man Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Do you know what would stop this? Safe standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 If it's a genuine rush of excitement like a last min equaliser from nowhere then fine. But if it's "LADS" just doing it for "Bantz" then it's shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Author Share Posted 10 January 2016 Do you know what would stop this? Safe standing. Maybe... But we stood the whole match. Both me and my mate fell as a result and my friend got his leg trapped against the seat and in trying to protect the little boy next to him got quite a bad bruise on his leg.

But if it's "LADS" just doing it for "Bantz" then it's shit Its never fine. Wouldn't be quite so funny when someone's neck gets ****ed by a buffoon landing on them from behind. There is a difference between deliberately jumping onto people and crowd surfing and just celebrating in a melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is precisely why having safe standing would've meant that wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But safe standing would prevent this happening in future, always best to look forward before an injury does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not those little pyro scallywags ? They have all the clobber (fake I must note ) inc aviator hooded jackets !

Fox92 Posted 10 January 2016 Share Posted 10 January 2016 Can remember being at Peterborough once (when it was standing - that stand has been replaced now) and it was so bad people were doing this. People had to get out at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pour a drink, cuddle up with the missus and turn the switch. Maybe if you took your grandad along to a game and he fell and broke a bone, as could easily happen as a result this kind of thing, you might change your tune? I don't want to come over all righteous about this. I get lads just want to have fun. But it was dangerous and somebody really could get hurt seriously.

One even ended up two rows forward after his 'celebration' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
