Clearly so loud that he can't understand how it could have been possible without assistance.

The bloke is a troll.

@mickdale so you obviously disagree even if your ratings show as being more angry with my post.

you tell me where children, old aged pensioners and disabled supporters should sit then

Apologies for the light reflection but I love the stadium lighting during matches...

I am not a habitual connoisseur of hot dogs, but I have to agree. It was really nice: a big, decently spiced sausage that was heavy on the meat and light on the bread/crap/filler/sludge, a good, robust brioche roll and a generous supply of fried onions. Almost worth the 25-minute queue.

It was something of a surprise to discover that the mustard, which was coloured the bright yellow of sweet mustard, was actually proper hot English mustard, which is usually beige. Now I love English mustard as much as the next man, but perhaps I might have applied it a bit more sparingly had I known what was being served. My sinuses were certainly clear thereafter, which is a rarity in hay fever season. It gave my tenor rendition of "Oh when the Spurs..." an added projection.

We couldn't get into the Marketplace at all - it was blocked off from the East concourse and guarded by several gilets jaune of considerable size. It's apparently not for the plebs on the Shelf. But there were burgers for sale at the same place as we got the hot dog, so I'm not sure why you had to go elsewhere to get them. Unless they ran out again.

English mustard is always yellow, it's that crappy French stuff that's the colour of baby poo.

We were talking about the south stand where we are trying to make some noise and atmosphere. Sit in the north.

Standing is overrated? Good stay in the north east or west so you don’t ruin us

I shall. But it still didn't stop noise coming from the north stand. South may be the stand to produce most of the atmosphere, but plenty was created in my stand last night. I hope I don't get sat behind you in my current condition. Will blame you if more damage is unnecessarily done to my knee. There are those who literally cannot stand for long periods, and the thing is they can still sing. You use your mouth to sing not your legs.

You sat in the middle of the south stand then?

n the north east or west (junior section north west)
What’s so hard to comprehend?

Caught up with everything now & know what you were speaking about

Buddy, Clyde is fine by me. Certainly not any worse than the name I'm normally called that starts with a C.

You'll always be coopsie.

I sent this as a PM to @FibreOpticJesus but might as well post it here. you got to remember even as a fan something could happen that would cause the need to sit

As a disabled supporter I have been to 1, test event (Legends), 2 Palace 3, City

the disabled areas in the North are right at the back of the middle tier (sat there for 1 & 2), and had to get up every single time something looked like it might happen. they put the disabled section there because putting us at the front would be too dangerous with steps to the bottom.

in the South which I only found out about via contacting the club about changing to being a wheelchair user, I actually got a transfer to the south thanks to that call. luckily we have our seats directly behind the wheelchair isle, so was able to sit down for the match, watch in comfort and sing my heart out. are you trying to tell me if 60k supporters sat down and sand their hearts out there wouldn't be an atmosphere?

I know your in the top NE corner from seeing post. just say next season you got lucky to go south, but pulled a muscle or an injury that made it impossible for you to stand for 4 or 5 weeks, but was able to get to the matches, you would be happy not seeing the games? some people when they purchased their season ticket, might not of actually had a back injury at the time.

you don't need to stand up to create an atmosphere, and eventually people will lose ST because of it. we all have the right to be able to be involved in the game, and shouldn't have to suffer discomfort.

this is coming from someone that stopped going for years once it become all seater. I would love to be able to stand and watch football, but the rules changed, and if people like yourself got grassed up, and dragged out and lost your season ticket you would only have yourself to blame

I'd hope in a case like that the club were co-operative and offered to move the individual to e.g. the North Upper for that period. Plenty of seats there that aren't sold at STs, and it's in there interests to avoid a disgruntled fan putting in a complaint about it to the safety bods.

 

[worcestersauce]

I can't help wondering if the shear size of it leads to more people standing, it's a bit like you can't be seen. I was in the South Lower so nobody would have chosen to be in there if they wanted to sit but I don't doubt many more fans want stand so it's pretty obvious that not everyone outside that area wants or expected to have to sit all game. The equilibrium has been disturbed and it is going to take a while to settle down, perhaps the club could be a bit flexible over the summer and allow some moving/exchanging of season tickets, also fans buying tickets for games will be more aware of what areas suit their preference in the future.

the club won't do that though, because your meant to be sat down during the game.

being fractionally above the area that has been prepared for safe standing last night, when you look upwards that is f'ing steep. you only need a small handful to of had 1 or 2 over the top, go a little over the top over a referee decision and you could end up with a hillbrough on our hands

My guess is that they would on the basis of having "fewer steps" or an "easier access route" - it'd certainly be the sensible option imo. Even if they didn't - just personally I'd prefer to miss a few games occasionally than always have to sit down in an area with poorer atmosphere, but that's just me.

I agree that it's not massively safe, although I'd be astonished to see any fatalities let alone Hillsbrough. We presumably aren't going to have a police force going haywire or a reenforced fence at the bottom. But yeah, people will get hurt whether thats the normal grazed shin on the seat in front or something a bit more serious. Ideally you have safe standing properly legalised, and then roughly the same proportion of standing sections with rails etc as you do people who want to stand.

Does anyone know if you sell a ticket on the exchange, can you re-buy for the same game with the same membership should you later be able to make it?

 

[DiscoD1882]

Quite sad to see some of the “fuck you” comments in here tonight. We are all fans. We all want to see the game. I don’t disagree with standing if you have to. In the right areas. I take my 12 year old to most games and I purposely didn’t look in the south when getting my ST’s as he said he wanted to see the game. And not have someone stand in front of him the whole game. We are middle tier in the north stand and have an excellent view. And excellent atmosphere and people only really stand when the ball heads towards the touch line. Maybe people need to be a bit more sensitive to who is around them. Maybe even offer to swap seats for the game if there is an old boy or junior behind them. We are all one family right? We all want a great atmosphere. People just do it in their own way...

If you can't sing sitting down it's because you talk out your arse

Coming out with some great crackers recently... Kudos kudos

A lot of people in wheelchairs can potter unsteadily around in their own homes for short periods and are quite capable of standing. They'd have no chance of getting to a game without a wheelchair though.
No miracle but it is a funny video all the same.
