One potential fan never to return

People often sit in the wrong seats on the Kop and people regularly simply move around to let others sit with their mates - Jehovah is spot on there.

And the fact that some old geezer hasn't got an ounce of civility in him - and that he thinks it's acceptable to gesture people around would piss me off too. I can understand why you wouldn't want to lower yourself to his standards, but if nobody stands up to these morons then they'll continue to spoil people's time at the Lane - and age gives no reason to act like a knobhead.

Which ever way you cut this Jehovah ain't in the wrong here.

It's more difficult to accept Jehovah's points re swearing though - especially if they were on the Kop. Language has always been a bit ripe on any Kop - and it often adds to the atmosphere and banter (which is why I'd rather pay to sit there than anywhere else!) - and I thought the ref deserved all the abuse he got!! (Though I thought Billy got too much of the shitty end of the stick, for simply doing his job as a pro footballer for another team)
 



I think its a sign of the times when were all discussing such elements which make the football worth going to. In reality I think were all just angry that we have players at our club who are prepared to wear gloves, tom hark on the goals and I wake on tues to hear that captain blade has grabbed the headlines.

It's a sick, sick world in which we live. Where will it all end!
 
Gentlemen... can we calm the name calling on here down a little. I can't do anything about abuse at football matches but I can here.

As for the rest, I speak as a woman (note I didn't say lady). I wouldn't expect anyone to tone their language down should I be in the vicinity and would be offended if they felt they had to.

Some might call it "PC gone mad bollocks" but I call it equality ;)
 
Sigh, I never said they were kids, I said they were chavs, they were same age as me I would guess and there were about 8 of them. That being the case, I suggested instead of moving people about, we just sit in available seats and move along if anyone claimed them. Sitting in seats that are not your number on the tickets is quite common practise. My point was how poor the manners of the older guy were and the language of the supporters. I did mention she had been before and it was fine, but yesterday was over the top. I would not take on an old fella, its how I have been brought up. Whats the point? I would be an idiot for taking the matter further with an old chap.

I would read my post again before making yourself look like a dickhead.

FFS I guess the notion of a tongue in cheek remark is lost on you innit?

By the way 60 is not an "old chap" you pompous so and so as this 53 year old dickhead would be glad to demonstrate if you`d like ,to be honest I would have asked the so called "chavs " (get you who made you such a great judge of social classes )to move out of my seat and either move them myself or involve the stewards rather than expect some soft touch to turn up and allow the two wrongs to make a right .What you got was someone who turned up ,who probably sits there everyweek not just at high days and holidays who was prepared to do what you wernt i.e protect his right to sit in the seat he had paid for .To be honest if you talked to him in the same sanctamonious tone in which you so quickly dismissed the crowd of lads as "chavs" and me as a dickhead I am not surprised he told you to f off :thumbdown:
 
I'm with you Jehovah. We have family over from Oz this Christmas. Twin girls age 14 plus parents and older sister. They love the Blades and keep in touch with the team from home and rerally looked forward to watching the Blases. They enjoyed the Swansea match and were made to feel very welcome in the Family stand. They would have been very uncomfortable in the environment you describe. So dont give up, try to get tickets in the Family stand whatever its called now. keep the faith

That's the point that plenty of us have been trying to make. If you go regularly then you know what type of atmosphere to expect. If you want to make a good impression on someone who might be offended, don't take them and sit on the Kop!

Although i don't think the OP has made it clear yet which stand it was. I think the assumption is that it was the Kop.
 
You wouldn't take a lass on a first date to Kandahar so why would would you take them for their first visit to BDTBL on the Kop? Or wherever else the numpties are sitting these days?

The last two lasses I was in a serious relationship with Ive taken on the Kop (titter ye not). I figure that if its going to work out they are going to have to put up with some pretty awful behaviour from me so if they can handle that they can handle anything.
 
LOL, just about what I was about to say! If you're now an 'old chap' at 60, someone should tell the government as it's now 6 years short of qualifying for a pension! :rolleyes:

Don't the over 60's get half price tickets to games? I think theres a clause that allows extra "senile" swearing for the over 60's

Deae mr whats wrong with you? I have classed them as chavs because funnily enough thats what they looked like to me. Their language and attitude during the game only certified this view. Did you see them? obviously not, therefore your argument is pointless. Also with reference to your joke remak of "this 53 year old" as I say, I am not getting into a fight with an old man.

Oh and it was not the kop guys, it was the south stand.
 



a few years back, i was sitting there with my lad who mustve been about 7 at the time. the trainer had run round and given the goalie a cap and was just pacing back past us to a few comedy jeers and retorts when the bloke next to him stood up with inexplicable fury and screamed 'I HOPE YOURE f****** WIFE'S DEAD WHEN YOU GET HOME'. bewildering to say the least

Maggie and Widdercombe being sat on our kop? Really when?
 
I can see why the OP is annoyed and he isnt in the wrong but you can see that coming across patronising prompted the fall out with the bloke. I know if a spoke to some of the people in that way they would just instantly swear at me. If he had jestured to me to move along Id of just said Sorry to him and moved.

Prior to all this though Id of just told the lads to move along out of my seat and then looked to sit elsewhere if they starting getting abit like "chavs".
 
Jehovah has a point here. Just because you're sat in a certain stand doesn't give you licence to act like a dick. from previous visits to the kop some of the levels of thickness amazed me. it makes you actually wonder how some of these people have managed to make it into the ground without the help of a carer. Unfortunately, plenty of people just see football as a chance to act like a complete twat for 2 hours every week.

i remember a sheffield derby a while ago some blokes singing a song hoping brian laws got cancer. And they actually found it funny. People like them should be drowned in acid not tolerated.

Are you a different stafford blade to the one who posted about noz getting a broken neck?

So getting offended at a joke about someone getting cancer, to wishing death by torture upon those who found it funny.

I think the irony monitor just blew up.

Timmeh!
 
Being over 60, my ticket price was reduced for Monday's game, sitting in the "Westfield Corner". Let me confirm that being "over 60" is not OLD, these days, nor does it give anyone of that age the right to expect other than normal manners at a football match. I sympathise with "Jehovah" and I would have been equally upset if it had been said to or overheard by either my wife (who didn't attend) or either of my grandsons (who did attend). At the same time, like everything in life these days, you make sure you go where you least expect trouble.

nope, same one. There's a big difference between making a throwaway comment on a website and a group of blokes continually singing a song for the best part of half an hour
 
After persuading our lass to come with me yesterday as my mates couldnt make it, she finally gave in and agreed. She has been a few times before and never seen us defeated and enjoyed herself to a reasonable level.

However, at yesterdays game it was a massive case of being sat in the valley of a 1000 dickheads. Firstly we get to our seats to find a set of chavs are sat in our seats. I think no big deal, theres plenty of seats behind them, well just sit there and if someone comes well move. So a bloke turns up and without saying a word to our lass, ushers her by hand gestures out of her seat. she tells me to move down and looks clearly upset, so I decide to have a word. Now this was a bloke who was about 60 years old so naturally I treat him wit respect and say "Sorry we are sat in your seats, we were sat here because our seats have been taken. But do me a favour, dont usher her out of her seat, show some manners and just ask politley" He replied "fuck off" thought Jesus Christ you miserable old bastard! Our lass tells me to leave it so I sit down mumbling about wanting to teach the old git some manners (not that I would ever do that due to his age)

The match starts and the following comments are screamed from all around us

"Go fuck your mother you ref cunt"

"billy you fat fucking useless bastard"

blah blah. I must admit I have been to god knows how many games but there was some real venomous morons around me yesterday. Our lass felt scared and wanted to leave at 2-0 so we did, cheers.

All in all it was embrassing for me to show her where I go every week. All football clubs have moronic tossers but it makes me ashamed ours had so many there yesterday.

Oh, and if you boo Billy chanting you fat bastard, dont be suprised when he milks his celebrations you bellends.

Heres what I would have done. Id have punched the first chav so hard in the face that his nose not only ploughed through his own brain thus killing him but shot out the back of his head into the eye of chav 2 blinding him. By now chav 3 is up with 4 following up so Id have grabbed 3's voicebox (like Patrick Swayze in 'Road House'), ripped out his windpipe and used it to strangle number 4.

In respect of his age Id have let the old boy off with a super suplex.
 
i know my story is not as bad as some previous ones,:eek:but it is funny,i changed my seat at the start of this season,coz i was surrounded by knobs and kids up and down every 2 minutes. i sit in the john st stand with my youngest son, i had managed to sit in said seats at time of booking/paying pre-season,absolutey brill seats 3 rows from back, bang on half way line what a view best i,ve ever had.............or so i thought,i was away for the 1st game so the wife and my other son went,when i asked about the game and the best seats in the ground they just started laughing but would,nt tell me why ! i was still at a loss at 2.45 at the next home game as there was nobody sat in front of me,all of a sudden this giant type bloke is walking up towards me and its starts getting darker,he sits down in front of me,he is fuckin huge,even when sat down i cant see a fuckin thing,i shout at my mate who sits a couple of rows in front,he looks and bursts out laughing,our young,uns laughing,phoned our lass she starts laughing,i did,nt, i stuck to this seat for another 5 games then i moved again. funny when i look back at it
