"Silky" David Cameron and terracing

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

There's a small piece in the Sun in the morning saying the Tories would have a review of football ground safety, and possibly allow terracing if safe.

Best of both worlds -- Labour gives us Falmer just before getting beaten in an election, and then the Tories let us stand there?

looks like david "like me, like me...please...like me....i'm great...seriously, i'm perfect...like me" cameron is up to his old tricks

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

I agree. He's going to get spotted actually on an actual bandwagon soon.

Still though, it's something the government could easily do something about, and isn't.

I dont care if anyone likes him or not, if hes going to bring back terracing (meaning atmosphere) then thats A-OK WITH ME!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

well its obvious that its possible to have safe terracing(look at germany),can't REALLY see the governments problem with it

Personally i think that terracing was perfectly safe, it was the mentallity of the football fan at the time that made it unsafe!


disclaimer: I was not old enough to properly experiance terracing in its 'hey-day- but that is my view!

If you're REALLY lucky you go home with 4 shoes. The pair you arrived with, plus another, more expensive pair

*BREAKING NEWS*

Tory leader, Dabid Cameron, admits that his new Terracing laws are to play straight into the hands of the Gillingham fans!

the review will probably mean they'll just bring in all that shit Thatcher wanted to bring in.

Tories dislike football, despite whatever they claim.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Quite a few Tories dislike Cameron.

I can't imagine they'll follow through on this promise, to be honest.

Not enough for my liking.

It's time for a typical Tory U-Turn, a la Hague and IDS.

Bollocks to the power of testicles. What a crap generaliation.

Bollocks to the power of testicles. What a crap generaliation.

Name one in the Shadow Cabinet or a Tory councillor locally who actively likes football, rather than jumps on a football-success bandwagon.

Aside from John Major and David Mellor, I'll give you those two.

Aside from John Major and David Mellor

What exactly were John Major's football supporting credentials again?

The Tories HATE football. Always have. And if anything epitomises what they'd hate most about football, it's the egalitarianism of old-fashioned terraces. If Brighton Council (as was) had still been run by the Tories, we'd have gone out of business at the Priestfield - Withdean would never have happened in a million years. And this is the latest piece of cheap, opportunism from David "call me Dave" Cameron. f*** them.

 

[Buzzer]

Ken Clarke - big Forest fan.

 

[Buzzer]

Nick John - tory councillor in Worthing - big footie fan.

Don't know about the party politics in Brighton so can't comment but it really is a stupid stupid generalisation.

What about the Reading chairman? Big, big, big Tory. Suppose he hates footie as well does he?

I didn't know that. Christ, he's an even bigger ccuunntt than I thought - and I've always thought he was a particularly dreadful old ccuunntt anyway.

Although, now you mention it...the rampant egocism (naming everything after himself), the rumours, ahem - how can I put this delicately? - that he's far from averse to having a bowl from the Sea AND from the Davigdor Road end, so to speak....it's all starting to make sense now.

In fact, I wouldn't wish ill on Steve Coppell but please, someone lend John Majeski a set of women's underwear, an orange with drugs on it and a length of flex. Surely he won't be able to resist.
