True, but how do you know it's boring if you don't watch it to being with?

We spent a good 20 minutes making some very, very in jokes, paying little or no attention to what was going on, just break the monotony of beating a side without trying.

Also, we stiched Terry (saintyick) up good and proper for most of the night. Bitch.

Also, will the kids/young adults who were situated under FB One Love and Entertainers banner tonight please STFU. You were a week early in singing Leeds songs and a month early in singing about the Vermin. No one will knock singing, but droning on for about 20 minutes in what sounded like a drunken stupour, not helping the atmosphere lads.

Thank you for the love shown tonight, Arse icon_wink.gif

The jokes made it worthwhile though. icon_biggrin.gif icon_wink.gif

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg



I got so bored tonight that for the first time ever at a rugby match I didn't notice it had ended! I had just drifted off thinking of something totally different and it eventually dawned on me that the handshakes were happening.

Quote: Saddened! "
How many people in the ground actually have an interest in the game? The atmosphere tonight was a mix of your average suburbian subway, a train station and a student bar at lunch time.'"
There were plenty of people interested in the game last night as there are most games.

As anyone who reads RedVee will probably know I get annoyed by the children who use the ground as a dating agency when them doing so involves them running around and play fighting - it made a nice change to see the stewards last night telling the young lad who nearly knocked me over to stop messing about.

You can't force people to watch the game though, and at times the last 2 games I have understood why people will resort to having a conversation instead of watching the game - which isn't really a problem as long as its not getting in the way of those who want to watch the game watching.

I have to agree though that last night the atmosphere was non existent - but is anyone really shocked about that?

The "free kids season ticket" has got a lot to answer for.........it's made the situation a whole lot worse, with even more kids coming to the game who don't give a flying f*** about the game itself

But it also gets even more Children who do care about the game in. Its swings and roundabouts really I guess!

I counted 35 cracks in the concrete where I stand, last year I think there was only 33 cracks, so it shows that KR is slowly coming apart... Might have been 36 cracks though, I will re count when we play Salford next year.

I personally don't see the problem here. As a United fan you'd be well aware that Man Utd fans sing regularly about their local rivals (Man City and Liverpool) whether they play them or not.

Take it you didnt go to the Millenium Magic this past two years then!

To be honest I agree with the original posters comments - I do find this behaviour - chavvy and annoying - to be expected at Knowsley Road. It is even more annoying when they come amongst the travelling fans and try and start something - usually under the noses of the stewards and when the visiting fans retaliate there is only one outcome - the visitors are ejected. This is a known problem so the club wants to try and sort it out.

Two years ago it happened TWICE whilst we were there and the stewards took the easy line and ejected the Leeds fans. I wrote to the club and they wrote back saying they would monitor the situation and brief the stewards for future games. It appears that it has sadly not happened.

I wouldn't say it was the worst. Leigh and Bradford must run it close.

sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away:5002.jpg



FFS chill out - do you now have to pass an exam to come and watch a game of rugby.
Saints games should be places that young people want to attend, if its for the buzz or the game let them decide - it has always been so and now it is just legal to get in for free icon_surprised.gifops:

And to have a go at singing, just because they are the "wrong" songs - well you need to ask yourself why would you say that

So long as these Kids arent making a nuisance of themselves and spoiling the game for others (and by that I dont include getting irritated by the mere fact they are there) then welcome them in - you never know they may even be getting counted in the upsurge in attendance figures that everyone is so proud about.
