Mike the Metal Ed Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Before anyone else comments perhaps read the actual article!! Jesus. I have done, and I'm against restricting where people sit in the ground. I wanted to be in an end stand as I prefer it when we played Burton in the cup last season only to be told I wasn't allowed to go in the only end the club opened for the game. I feel this infringes my ability to watch my club how I want without harassment. Police bad language in the family sections all you want, they actively warned and occasionally ejected people for swearing in the North Stand at Filbert Street, but outright telling people where they can and can't sit is ludicrous.
Guest MattP Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Yeah I shouldn't have said that. anger, mob menatlity etc.
steveherbe Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Thankfully we've decided not go to the KP this season. Money is better spent on away days with real supporters, not happy-clappy bloody familes.
Mike Oxlong Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Fvck me! The club's inciting child abduction.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Hang on! I've just read the article again, where does it mention N Block? It mentions P1 to P3! If I was asked in N Block I would say that it specifically states online ONLY P Blocks are the issue. Are we over-presuming here that it's targeting N Block when they clearly make no mention of it!? Surely they would have said that this has been instigated by the presence of "undesirable groups" in this particular section if this was the case? Not read the club statement but if you are correct then well spotted and it shall certainly be interesting on saturday

You can sit in both ends, N block or the Kop. It's private property, don't like it don't go it's really that simple. Do you moan you can't sit in the disabled seats?
MooseBreath Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 oh god no what am i gonna do now i can't sit in three crappy blocks full of irritating little kids god no PLEASE NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TOP sort it owt m8 omg shit club wtf. joke.
Guest MattP Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 . Do you moan you can't sit in the disabled seats? A bit of imagination, basic acting and a carefree attitude to how people look at you and you can.
Corky Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Stoke in 2007 is literally the only one I remember when I was in L1 from 2007 - 2010. Ok So three incidents in over 200 matches?
Stadt Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 oh god no what am i gonna do now i can't sit in three crappy blocks full of irritating little kids god no PLEASE NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TOP sort it owt m8 omg shit club wtf. joke. Wtf

Do you moan you can't sit in the disabled seats? Not for low demand FA Cup games like Burton. I am going less and less, thanks. Strawman harder.
5waller5 Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Price of ticket in K Block: £32 Price of ticket in N Block: £22 It's a fair point ..... But the rationale behind that is that in a family stand you've got to take dependants with you .... So it's discounted for dad's to be able to take their kids..... the future fans of the club.

Jace Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 I think the lesson to be learnt in all this is if you want to sit next to the away fans and be able to shout and swear and create some banter and atmosphere then bring a child along with you.

Sit in the stand with like-minded people and have the time of your life ...... Not the stand designed to take your 8 year old kids to.
Nick Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 I like to stand in front of the row of the disabled seating area. I don't like anybody to tell me I can't. I buy a child's ticket too and I'm 43 years old - because I can. I hate stewards attempting doing their job, they are the lowest of the low, I abuse them and am threatening. I also like to chant the word "cvnt" at the referee and can't stand those do-gooding dipsticks that moan that their kids are shocked by my language and threatening behaviour - toffee nosed high standards of parenting have no place in a football ground. Why should I move, I've always stood here - though I have got some ideas about who else we should move. Football's not for everybody - it's just for me and those that think like me and without our contribution to the atmosphere this season will be rubbish.
MrBojangly Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Angry men with no real education need to shout obscenities at other similarly angry men on a Saturday afternoon or they might go home and beat their wives. If children have to hear it, fair enough. Therefore I think this is a terrible thing
yorkie1999 Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 I think the club are only referring to sections P1 to P3, not N section.

mackiepas Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 98/99 at home vs Chelsea when we lost 4-2. We recorded the highest decibels for a home team. As loud as a steam engine I seem to remember
Guest Bilo Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 A bit of imagination, basic acting and a carefree attitude to how people look at you and you can. Are you disabled, sir? Yeah, I've got fvcking Tourettes you nosy cvnt.

Whilst single adult tickets were being sold, people were always going to chance it.
Jace Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 So sell family group tickets only and not singles. Whilst single adult tickets were being sold, people were always going to chance it. It was a disaster waiting to happen, not that I did it myself but the club really does invite these problems on itself. It wouldn't have taken a genius to work this out in the 1st place and would have saved themselves now having to try and resolve this issue.
jonthefox Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 I wonder if this will apply when we play Yeovil. They'll be begging to get us in there.
1964FOX Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 Thinking long term will the current families with 8 and 9 year olds be thrown out and discarded as not desirable types of fans in ten years time when they have nobody that fits the criteria. Also arguably a lot of the you g ins on here would have been the desired type of fan with their mums and dads ten years ago but now don't appear to be encouraged .
