A little moan about yesterday

[Lady Whistledown]

Thing is, there's a new wave of modern parents who think the world should adjust to their little darlings. Gets worse this time of year.

I wanted to stand for this game. The first block I went to, after a short while, a family with young kids sat behind us. Knowing that I'd find the consequent need to remain seated annoying, I moved.

I figured my desire to stand and perhaps occasionally let a small naughty word go was less important than the right of an eight year old to be able to see the game his parents had paid for him to attend. Hence I moved. There were plenty of spare seats so it was no problem at all. No point moaning about it when the situation was easily rectified.

This game has room for everyone, not just the beered-up & the terminally angry.

The stupid thing about all of this, is that it could be very simply resolved in two words. Two words unfortunately that never seem to happen. Unallocated seating.

I didn't meet a single person yesterday who sat in their allocated seat?

Well I know of at least 9 people that did - well at least very close to our allocated seats anyway

I just sort of mean generally, in that people that want to stand and sing all game can happily congregate in the middle or towards the back for instance, people that want to sit all game can get to the front, etc etc.

Fair enough: I didn't know the stewards were checking. I wandered in, grabbed a space & moved twice more before settling on spot.

Difficult one for the clubs. There are the likes of Sarah Watts & gang, as well as families & large groups who like to pick seats & know they'll be in them. Me, I hate it when they're allocated, but I suppose I can understand why they do. Not sure if it's a ground regulation maybe?

This post is a perfect illustration of what's wrong with the football these days. Since birds started pretending they like football and kids started to have a voice it's all "move over men, this game's for all!" Gone are the days you could head off to football at 9pm on a Friday and get back at 11pm on Saturday, suitably refreshed having even sorted your own dinner out in the form of a kebab and some clunge. Those days don't come back, cherished days.

(in all seriousness it is why I take myself off to watch Molesey FC on a Tues evening, stand and shout as much as you like with your own flask of tomato soup to boot).

You know the game has gone belly up when a dedicated Charlton steward stopped people with beers going into the little yellow painted zone outside the entrance to the stand in case they got a view of the pitch FFS!!

To be honest the disabled area was in a silly place, whats wrong with pitch side?

There was one fan who attempted to shit in the urinal before the game until he saw there were kids around so decided to pull his pants up.

That's revolting. What a di**head.

You lot seem to have a problem with not using the toilet

Apparently so

It is always the closer to home away games that attract the idiots of our fanbase it seems. Never hear of any of this stuff at Birmingham or Doncaster.

Its just the London games really.

Luckily turds in our dressing rooms are easily spotted. At Selhurst if there was a turd in the dressing rooms, it wouldn't be the first filthy thing you noticed.

Add Bournemouth and Yeovil to that list too.

What's wrong with having disabled area's higher up the stands?

Nope, what's wrong with some selfish able bodied people showing some consideration for others for once ?

 

[rouseytastic]

With regards to young children and bad language in front of me were 3 young kids (no older than ten) all stood by the railings watching the game enjoying themselves. A bloke to the left was squeezed up against them and to be fair to him he couldn't move any further to his left, and the dad (i presume) came down and tapped him on the shoulder saying 'theres young kids here! stay in your seat c**t!!'

So a good away day for those young'uns who didn't even acknowledge the conversation so everyones a 'winner'

If you spotted a turd you would take it home and call it a partner, something is better than nothing at this lonely time of year

You were not there for one----the op never mentioned disabled fans in his original post---only that he moved to the centre block so he could stand with 1500 others----it was then a 'LADY' moaned that he brushed past her and didn't say excuse me and a father moaned that his teenage daughter couldn't see coz I was in front of her. He didn't move - I did.
In the days of the 'Chicken Run' you were lucky to see feck all if someone tall stood in front of you just before kick off ---despite you being in position for an hour before.

Possibly, and this is going some because there are quite a few Palace knobbers on here, one of the very worst comebacks I have ever read on here and this is a forum that can boast Bushy and The Truth amongst it's numbers. Utter crap. Point of fact my problem with Christmas is not that it's a lonely time for me, quite the opposite chap, far too many people around me for my liking. That and I loathe Christmas pudding.
