Quote: Peckerwood "On Saturday I was stood in the South Stand, just below the screen looking out towards the 20m line. I had the misfortune to be stood directly in front of a bunch of arrogant kids about 14/15 years old.
They had been messing about throughout half time and accidentally shoved into me, at which point I looked behind me and gave them a look that said 'stop ing around and calm down'. After this point and for thirty minutes throughout the second half I was constantly harassed with them tapping me on the shoulder every two minutes, purposely nudging me in the back and annoyingly playing with my hood on the back of my coat. I tried to ignore these childish actions for about half an hour, but unfortunately there's only so much of that sort of behaviour I can take. If the main culprit wasn't being so brave stood behind his mates, and my friend hadn't told me to move to the other side of him, he would have gone into school the today with a brand new black eye. A confession I'm not proud of, and had I laid a finger on him I'd no doubt be in a police cell right now.
That brings me onto my point. Other than alerting a steward who would do very little to resolve the problem, what is there that I can do myself to stop the actions of these immature individuals? I did think about using the text service and see what would come of that, but was unable to see the number on the back of the steward's jackets if it's there.'"
It's disapointing that nobody stood near you helped you out. I would of. You should have moved though or told a steward to sort it out or you'd sort it out yourself.
When I was that age watching at Wilderspool we sometimes used to mess about and if it went to far they used to post a couple of plod at the back of the Fletcher St. We wouldn't have dreamt about pushing an adult as far as they did you though as we would have received a smack in the mouth for our troubles.
It's just goes to show how society has changed for the worse over the years.
