[Albion] Behave at West Ham…

Oh the poor children. Probably too busy looking at their phones to notice.
Best part of being a kid was going to the north stand @ the goldstone, when Brighton scored. Sanitised football is a sad reflection of how commercial it’s become.

I imagine that 1 person has suffered an injury due to jumping about/falling into someone and its a reminder that it has to be safe for everyone. I get the celebrating a goal is the best feeling (even for an old codger like me) and even I jump a little despite my age. I love it but for some less able it may knock them over.
Follow the process folks!

@jackalbion Ironic this guy is still acting like he's largely unbothered and above getting annoyed by anything. Yet had a breakdown when he read some words from me that he didn't agree with and subsequently blocked me. Strange fella.Boo hoo.
I shall immediately write to Barbs on your behalf.
Meanwhile maybe you can luzz some things around your living room to make yourself feel a bit better, and alleviate your first-world problems.
As for the note. Very patronising. There really can't be many fan groups out there that are spoken to and actively watched like ours.
Your trains don’t work, health service is a mess, f*** all leggy blonds and just the one World Cup …..you have a long way to go

Clearly you haven’t been to Anfield or Fulham

Leicester was a weirdly tense and joyless experience for me regardless of the score, all down to the lottery of who your seat puts you near. Didn’t see bundling but had aggressively twattish groups nearby in front and behind behaving in the kind of way that puts everyone around them on edge. The group in front and their efforts to fit 7 into 3 seats forced some people into the aisle.

Here here bravo wot wot old bean,ee I ee I ee I o,ones orf too the soccer game don't you know.
dunno
You maybe don’t. But some do. I wasn’t at Fulham but some of the stories mates have told me are grim and no one should have to put up with that sort shit. Some of our fans, seems to be the much younger ones, are utter cocks…this is who the message is aimed at and I can’t say I give a shit about them.
Not every ground has massive padded seats. And they are too small in any end that has been converted from terracing. Get one extra person on the row and someone will end up in the aisle through no fault of their own.
As someone said earlier, on the one hand you have players trying to gee up the fans from the pitch, yet on the other you have the worlds most patronising email addressed to the very fans following the team and making a noise.

But also on the same point, people who are just going to act like cocks, are just going to carry on regardless of this message. Just seems like there is a constant lecture from the club to behave, or you will be banned, despite the vast majority doing nothing wrong. A banning procedure, which although sometimes justified, has been challenged multiple times by legal avenues and the football ombudsmen.
Shirley that middle ground is the aisle between the rows of seats, and we have been instructed not to congregate there…
Big Barber is watching you…

The youth of today are f***ing knobs everything is bro get me a beer bro no respect for older people and think they can do what they want.
Back in the day the Albion away following used to look out for each other those days are long gone.
None of these twats look like they could fight their way out of a plastic bag and would be off down the road sharpish if it ever came on top like the old days.
I agree a strongly worded email won’t stop the knobs acting like knobs but the first step is to inform/warn everyone. The people this message is aimed at isn’t the likes of me or you, but like at the actual games, we’re now being dragging into it.
I have had problems in the past, some over excited kids tediously and ostentatiously “over” singing, hitting people in the process with their outstretched arms. It was almost like they wanted an argument….which they eventually got. The ring leader’s English wasn’t the best and I like to think that my correction of his logic, grammar and tenses diffused the situation.
They were cocks and I would not care one shit if they never saw an Albion game again.

Easy to say. I respect them now but in a few hours when I go Christmas shopping I will have wild and wet fantasies about "assisted death".
Do remind me to spill my pint over your kid wont you? And when you complain it'll be " mate it's part of the atmosphere ain't it "
Whatever, you can just ignore the fact that we're being spoken to like children and are going to be under even more surveillance from the club.
And also make fun of people who use the word 'ain't' (to be fair, this whole board seems to be obsessed with 'chavs', never ever hear that word anymore yet see it on here daily).
Standing in aisles, surging when your team scores happens in every away end across the country. 'Limbs' are celebrated online and is a big part of away fan culture.
Of course it's not nice to have beer spilt on you, but I've had drinks spilt on me at gigs, at pubs, at the cricket. It just happens at places where people drink a lot of alcohol. I don't think chucking a pint in the air is a particularly nice thing to do, but I also don't think it needs an email from the club, it's the sort of thing that should be self policed, or even just a word from a steward in the ground. I don't have kids, if I did I wouldn't take them to an away match until they were old enough to not be upset by these kinds of things.
Your arsey reply is obviously very funny to a certain type of poster on here, but I find the sanitisation of modern football insanely depressing and think it's a bigger issue.

So you have just said you don’t think chucking a pint in the air is a particularly nice thing to do, but you don’t like the tone of @METALMICKY saying sort of the same thing?
