Letter in today's Argus: Albion fans train thuggery

[Lady Whistledown]

Fantastic fans
I am a railway guard working in the Cheltenham area. On Saturday, I had a group of five or six Brighton football supporters on an evening train to Swindon.

My experience of football supporters and trains has so far been mixed to say the least. However, these chaps behaved in an exemplary manner.

They were friendly, approachable and, despite bringing a huge and potentially messy takeaway meal on to the train (having asked permission to do so), when they left the train, every trace was properly disposed of and their seating area and table spotless. I would like to extend my thanks to these gentlemen. Would that there were more like you.

Come on chaps, you're letting the side down here: you had all that time to trash the place, piss all over the carriage, and terrify a few old ladies, and you do THIS? Disgusting

 

[The Large One]

Probably because Bellotti wasn't on the train.

Then it would have been totalled.

 

[Nottseagull]

It is a poor reflection on British society that someone feels it necessary to write a letter about it. This sort of behaviour should be the norm.

 

[Mackenzie]

Nice of him to write that, but surely this shouldn't be exceptional behaviour (ie being friendly and not making a mess)...changing times I suppose.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It couldn't be the GDC, could it?

 

[SurreySeagulls]

why would there be a trace of food left on the train when Uncle Buck was on it

 

[Seagull's Return]

It couldn't be the GDC, could it?

Got to be, surely? There has been an increased incidence of GDC train/curry occurences lately, I believe.

 

[Uncle Buck]

It couldn't be the GDC, could it?

Not us. We were the next carriage down from that lot, armed with the standard issue Bows.

Makes a nice change to the people who wrote BHAFC Rule in smeared TURD on the wall of a train back from Walsall a few seasons back.

thats f***ing SICK

 

[Brighton Breezy]

thats f***ing SICK

Isn't it just. I have no idea who it was but it made me want to hurl. They even left the offending stool in a little piece of toilet paper on the side.

thats f***ing SICK

I once poo'd in a british rail sink on the way to Oxford away many years back. Not only that but i stood very close to the toilet door (with like minded morons) as each person went in to said toilet and the stench that hit them was like being struck by a baseball bat. It killed 2 hours on the train anyway. Happy days.

I take back all I have said in the past about Das Reich and his 'top boys'. Not only did Hitler get the trains to run on time, but by the sounds of it his followers kept them tidy too.

[seagullsovergrimsby]

as they left the seating area and table spotless did they go fully equipped with marigolds and cif ?
