Swearing at a football match

After the awarding of a dubious penalty against The Albion, I was reliably informed by an extremely helpful steward at the Bournemouth game that there is now zero tolerance towards any swearing around the whole of The Amex.
In questioning the validity of this policy (pointing out the East Stand / Family section) he then took my query all the way down to pitch-side (thus vacating his important position) and raised it with his superior.
Being a very helpful bunch, the supervisor also took the trouble to travel all the way from pitch-side to the top of the NW 5 minutes later to explain how this was so and that no genuine supporter should ever question the conduct and application of the stewarding family.
As i 'begged to differ' with his response, i took it upon myself to vacate the stadium of my own accord as my presence was obviously upsetting to them.
He must have been taken with me as he insisted on taking my contact details. My mum always taught me not to give such details to strange men, so i thanked him and graciously declined his request.
Well, he must have been so upset by my rejection of his advances he took it upon himself to discover my details and send me a very nasty letter telling all sorts of lies about me. He went on to say that he didn't want to see me for at least 2 months and if i did it again then he never wants to see me again forever!

Now should I give in to his advances or find myself another friend?

Personally I think you should swallow your pride and watch a game of football. That's what you're there for, that is what you paid for. Simples

I would suggest you scan the letter and send it to Mr Barber!

Yeah, I've been told off for swearing. I sit backrow, centre, in the North Stand. I mentioned it on here a few weeks ago, it really ruined my day out.

I've never understood the need for swearing. Poor vocabulary I suppose.

Surely the best thing to do if you hear someone swearing is to scream for a policeman?

Really? I'm Row W just underneath the big Screen (well slightly to the left) in the north and spend the whole game swearing. As long as its not racist or homophobic the stewards let us get on with it.

Thanks Greens :(
It might be a tad difficult to enforce with probably 24 000 male 'customers' watching refereeing performances like the one from the clown in the middle of the Bmuff home game ???
