davieG Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 I've been a load mouthed arsehole for the last 5 years mostly from watching the shite under Levein and co. Even now if they're playing badly I'll vent my speen but if they're performing half decently or better then they get my support. After a game I like to feel I've been up and down out of my seat, now that we're forced to sit but preferably as a result of good football with some decent tackling, passing, shots on goal, outstanding defensive saves and of course goals. I almost prefer it to be exceedingly bad to averagely bad because I at least get a chance to let off some steam. If I've sat/stood there totally bored lie we were at Barnsley I feel like I've been mugged.

If you think Id get upset by a bit of shouting then you really dont know me very well I was referring to the kind that shouts abuse (sometimes racist) to various players from start to finish and round on anyone who dares to complain. The sorts who act like that regardless of how theyre performing! Trust me no one shouts and gets carried away at games more than me!

I was hoping that's what you meant, but I just liked the thought of being a 'nice' load mouthed arsehole I don't think I've ever booed a player or team but I've certainly let them know what I think I'd be totally unable to sit there and just clap, sing or cheer when they are performing badly and in the scheme of things I doobt whether they've actually heard me although I do get some funny looks from those around me who sit there through good and bad like statues but if that does it for them good luck to them.
Katy Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 Without getting the younger fans in, sadly, there wont be a future fan base for this club. As much as I find other peoples kids generally annoying they are a necessary evil - just dont want em sat near me! My kids are exempt from this of course (and Singy's lad who is perfectly well behaved and totally gorgeous!) My little one loved it on Saturday, in the kop laughing at the 'f words' as she calls them. And she was well behaved, I hope she will continue to go throughout her life. She already hates Forest

She already hates Forest Ive never met your little one so wasnt in a position to allow her to be exempt but based upon this..... shes exempt too! DavieG - I can confirm you are a nice loud mouth arsehole!
Katy Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 What does she refer to swear words as if Forest = 'f words' Haha, yeah. Forest is definitely a swear word. She particularly enjoyed the chants of 'willy puller' - that's definitely an 'F word'.
Guest Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 I believe Scoweh had a great season when Small had it's season ticket.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 Good call. The sound of children screaming Matty Fryatt when any player (Including Wayne Brown) touches the ball, is enough to put you off. Better still, let them play with a few Tigers! No thanks mate i will carry on buying a season ticket for me and my 2 kids,if thats ok with you Thats brilliant, just please don't moan if people choose to stand up and try and support their team.
lou Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 Thats brilliant, just please don't moan if people choose to stand up and try and support their team. Dont get the link here?
Matt Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 So i take it then none of you lot on here went when you were kids then Not to 'proper' matches no, not until my dad knew I was serious about going, would sit still for 90 minutes, was interested, and get involved, until then I was only took to FNF (Family Night Football) matches, something that we lack, that really was family orientated, kids type introduction to football, I started going to proper matches when I was probably 6 or 7 at a guess, so still pretty young yes, but the point is, I got the feel for it and knew how to act at a football match before going to a proper match - What annoys me is the parents taking kids to games, and their kids clearly don't want to be there, constantly kicking the back of your seat, running up and down the stairs, moaning, there's a bloke with a kid who sits near me and he has to get up pretty much every 10 or 15 minutes because his lad needs a piss (And believe me every 10 - 15 minutes is no exaggeration) and those bastard horns e.t.c. FNF is the way forward for families and introducing the kids I think, yet we've/football has took a step backwards by stopping these nights - I do realise that there is a flaw in the idea that they are at night and parents don't want to be taking their kids out at night as they have school the next day e.t.c, but tbh I don't think they kicked off that late anyway did they? Can't remember tbh, but 6 or 7pm would be ok surely? Besides I see plenty of kids out when we play on a Tuesday night with a 7.45pm KO.
caz05 Posted 3 February 2010 Posted 3 February 2010 Thats brilliant, just please don't moan if people choose to stand up and try and support their team. What you on about,when did i do that then i would be the first to stand up to support the team mate. All i objected to is people saying that they dont want kids thier

My son is 16 and has been going to matches for years with his uncle,my daughter who is 9 started asking to go when she was 6 because he went,i didnt take her till she was 7 because i didnt think she would sit still or enjoy it ,but i have just renewed mine my sons and my daughters season ticket for the 3rd time and can assure you she doesnt misbehave in anyway as she is there to watch the match. Just because there are children there that act like you have said doesnt mean they all do,if she said she didnt want to go anymore then i wouldnt take her end of but while she wants to go i will

TBH and I don't think you'll like this idea but perhaps all kids of a certain age should be restricted to the family stand (Perhaps under 8's MUST go in the family stand? Maybe under 10's although think that's maybe too old to restrict them in there?) - More beneficially to the parents anyway as under 8's get a free ST in there don't they?

My kids are over 8 and i sit where i sit cause the kids want to sit there so they can join in with all the chanting when jobber starts with his drum. Dont really understand why i seem to be getting all this crap just because i said why shouldnt kids go,not really relevant to be honest. Basingstoke seems to think i have a problem with people jumping up and down and cheering,i do it myself i dont see why an 18 year old lad has the cheek to tell me not to moan about it,when to be honest i havent, and my point was all fans start at some age and if kids werent taken to matches then there wouldnt be any future supporters would they

I'm not really directing my posts at you, just explaining how I was introduced and directing it at the kids who quite clearly are took to games and don't want to be there.

I admit there are kids there that play up,but not all kids are the same

Corky Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 TBH and I don't think you'll like this idea but perhaps all kids of a certain age should be restricted to the family stand (Perhaps under 8's MUST go in the family stand? Maybe under 10's although think that's maybe too old to restrict them in there?) - More beneficially to the parents anyway as under 8's get a free ST in there don't they? That's not fair really. Kids who do want to be there, in the middle of the atmosphere, should be allowed to get involved. It's up to the parents, if they feel the kids can cope with a bit of swearing/ aggressive behaviour then they should have the ability to take their children into any part of the ground. If they don't then they've got the Family Stand.
The Doctor Posted 4 February 2010 Posted 4 February 2010 Not got a problem with you mate,i just dont like an 18 year old telling me not to moan when people stand up cheering when i havent and saying that kids shouldnt be thier. it's just a generalization - 1 parent there with their child moans about people singing and cheering etc. so every parent there with a small child is adjudged to be the same.

This is true. To be honest, if people go there and cheer the team on and don't moan at people when they stand up and sing then of course I don't have a problem. It's just alot of the times when I get a chance to go to the Walkers I sit in the Kop, try to join in with the chants, sometimes stand up and get some miserable bastard asking me to sit down! If I spend a fair bit to get from Basingstoke to Leicester, and pay for the ticket etc. The last thing I want is for my day to be ruined because there is some family also sitting in the Kop (When they could easily be sitting in the family stand) asking me to sit down and be quiet as if I'm in a school assembly or something. This has happenned a few times and at away matches too, thats the sort of family which I moan about. It's just that when it happens a few times I (probably wrongly) assume that all families are like that. Also I agree that the childeren are the future of this football club but I don't like the way that the club always seem to prioritise them in front of other people.
Shrenchel Posted 5 February 2010 Author Posted 5 February 2010 Kids can kick my seat and squabble between themselves all they want. I'm not sitting in it and I'm normally too pissed to care. It's their shit-nosed stuck-up mollycoddling parents who give me grief for calling the ref a cvnt I can't abide by.
Tommeh Posted 5 February 2010 Posted 5 February 2010 The parents are the problem usually forcing the kids to go then wondering why they are bored there. This season I've started taking my brother and his mate (both 8) they bloody love it and if they didn't I wouldn't take them. They know they have to go where I go, they know they have to stand up at the back of the Kop and they know that (at times) it'll be loud and they will hear words they'll get big trouble for using any other time than 3 and 5 on a saturday but I wouldn't want them getting into football any other way. Oh and they hold a huge love for LD3's atmosphere dad. They now want to start going aways with me. Yeah right, Give 'em 6 years.

They sound like my daughter,she would go to every away game aswell if i were able to take her. Once they have got the bug youve had it
