Quote: moving on... "Yeah I get all of that. But the point is we don't go round telling them not to research or not go the youth games. but we are constantly told we are stupid, loud and annoying.
I find them stupid, quiet and annoying.
The point is i don't go round giving people abuse unless its given to me (or our group) first. So who would you say is in the wrong?
The second we started to make a bit of noise today there where 6 or 7 bouncers at rhe bottom staring up at us Luke we were hooligans. It's absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't surprised if they were there because someone complained. Most probably the bloke in the Queensland polo telling us to shut the f**k up and watch the game, then spent 20 minutes with his back turned taljing to his mates. Tit head. Then had a go at us for singing w@nkey Warrington. Apparently you should never call your team w@nk. Bearing in mind we were 16-0 up, we said yeah its blatent sarcasm, he hurled more abuse and we just ignored him. And we're the bad ones, we're the d1ck heads are we? Some people need to get a grip.'"
I must admit, I saw the increased "security" in that part of the ground and figured out why. Whilst I can understand you might feel slightly irritated by that, it's to be expected to an extent.
As for people hurling abuse at you, couple of thoughtsdon't [/igo to the game to get drunk and sing songs, you're going to find it more difficult to get people on board with what you're trying to achieve.
- I stand near where you and your pals now congregate. I enjoyed some of the chanting, the one about Koukash buying Swinton was quite good. I'm no prude - I have no issue with the ironic winky winky song and accept that, if you go to a sports ground, there shall be swearing. However you are going to put people off when you sing songs about Coronation Street actors accused of serious crimes because they're based in the locale of the opposition. Appreciate it was one or two only, but it doesn't help.
Good luck with whatever co-ordinated efforts you're putting in place to improve the atmosphere - I'd just caution you against giving it the barry* too much too soon.
