At the time, no point. Bloke was pissed up and barely knew where he was and the second half had just started. Afterwards - I'm really not a fan of the old social media shaming. Deal with it there and then.
How are these miscreants going to be identified then?
Where does it say that buying from a tout is illegal?
The ins and the outs of the ticket touts
Ticket touting, though strictly illegal, has been part and parcel of attending events since before the dawn of the internet, but it’s particularly in the footbawww.allaboutlaw.co.uk
I had a deeply peculiar bloke appear next to me at Ajax. He arrived late and spent half the match on his phone and the other half goading Ajax fans over the see-through barrier. He then f***ed off 10 minutes before the end. He was probably around 50, very 'capably built', full head of hair, and seemed to know a lot of sorts among the crowd. There was a moment of nauseating hero worship from a fat lad in the row in front of us. I tried to exchange a couple of words with him, but smalltalk wasn't part of his skill set. I would have preferred to have moved but @Hugo Rune had already completed a risky manouvre in that regard and a second bout of fannying around seemed pointless. Oh well. Never mind.
Until we go on a bad run and then let’s remember where we came from lectures are wheeled out frequently.
I often hope dickheads spoiling for a fight like he has mentioned actually meet someone one day that takes them up on their offer and puts them on their arse.
Yeah, I can't wait for some of our most loyal supporters to be given long bans for trivial offences. And it'll be cheered on by certain users on here. Mostly the type who don't do aways and skipped Palace because it was a Sunday afternoon and a bit chilly.
I’m confused, can you please point out what the “trivial offences” are in the message from the club?
Not Albion but we had the same at the England games in Euro 2020 when it got pretty lawless to be honest. Ten or more would arrive for 5 seats and yours were right next to them. Stewards didn’t care, me and the missus can’t really take 10 on and she hated the atmosphere around us so we ended up moving. It was happening all over the place and we were lucky to find a couple of empty seats but had those not been available I’m not sure what we’d have done other than put up with it. I also caught Covid there, probably from those guys but who knows?
A friend of my daughter told her the other day that when she couldn’t go to a game she would have to list her Arsenal ST or she would be told off by the club.
I doubt the people the email targets are “our most loyal supporters”….they’re not old enough. And even if they are, don’t be a dick head and you’ll be fine.
Rewinding to when I was 18-20 yeah I’m not taking any notice of that & probably wouldn’t even read it.
Fulham’s always a mess with the neutral zone and people wandering into the away end.
To be fair, most people probably don’t need to read it.Rewinding to when I was 18-20 yeah I’m not taking any notice of that & probably wouldn’t even read it.
Would it have been a message on the Seagull line
I'm sorry, do you think that throwing beer, standing in the aisle and "surging" when we score are major crimes that need to see loyal supporters watched and punished? Also, the tone and nature of the email make me strongly suspect the club are going to go beyond the things mentioned.
