I love that terminology. Perfectly adapt for this thread

Do you mean ADEPT?

I'm guessing he means APT.

Someone called me that (snowflake) a while ago (on here). I thought he/she was being a bit of a ****, but no harm done, obviously.

But, not impressed that (presumably an adult) directs the same put down towards a nine year old. I doubt the correspondant would have the balls to say it to the parent's face. Generation keyboard warrior

Christ heaven forbid someone was drunk at the football? From the sounds of it YOU promptly kicked off? In which case you are clearly the greater dickhead, talk about setting an example to your sun

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Go to football, have lots to drink, enjoy the game, cheer the goals, but look after kids & old people. We're all fans, after all.

I hope your lad wants to come back.

Totally agree.

Another schoolboy error.

 

[Jimmehh]

Well at least you and your lad saw the only goals of the game?

Surely thats the only reason we all go to watch the Albion? To see them score?

Hope he's not frightened from coming to another one, but I knew there would be limbs in the stands today...

Did the bloke deliberately push him into your son? Or push him and just so happened to fall into your son? Very different things of course.

Like it or not, right or wrong, a 5.30pm Saturday kick off would always attract all day drinkers.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Why do we see threads like these so often?

I'm not condoning the alleged actions of the offender, but what I will say is this: if someone had upset my kid so much that they physically wanted to leave the stadium - my reaction would not be to post about it on the fan forum.

Be a man and deal with these issues in person. I'm not saying lamp the geezer - but if you feel agrieved enough to post on here about it then the very least you could have done is have a quiet word with the fella.

My first game, Arsenal at home. First i got goosebumps at the sight of the floodlights as me and my dad walked from Hove station. Then the buzz of the crowd milling about outside the South stand got the pulse racing. Then it kicked off...i was terrified. I cried. I wanted to go home. Dad pulled me close and calmly walked us towards the West stand turnstiles. He knelt down in front of me with a reassuring smile and just said 'There you go son, we're here, lets just go in for half an hour and then see how you feel eh?'

The rest is history.

I hope the lad is ok

During the stadium tour I did last week, the guide mentioned that she had followed Albion for many many years.
She also mentioned, that after leaving the Goldstone and going to Priestfield and ending up at the Withdean, the club had lost a generation in supporters.
Surely the Goldstone generation who are at the Amex now, will eventually be replaced by the nine year old lad who has been mentioned, will want to come and watch his team play, and not be put off by some drunken gimps.

Some of the replies here are totally unjustified. I'm sorry the OP had the enjoyment of his day affected. Where little ones are involved we all reserve the right to act how we think it's best to for our kids.

We offer great facilities for kids at the amex but the numbers travelling to away games is understandably less.

Today was promoted as a family away day so I suspect there were many little ones on their first away trip.

Sadly the later kick off did increase the number of prats. 20 minutes before kick off on the concourse I had to deflect a rubbish win from hitting a kid so one of the heavy drinkers who 'was enjoying football as he should' decided to throw around.

This goon group was only about half a dozen strong. Never had an issue with those who wanna buy beer and pour it on the floor but for me a line was crossed by some today.

Hope OP son feels up for another away game soon. They really are great, especially at the moment.

You mean 'apt'.

 

[Diablo]

You mean 'apt'.

not necessarily, he may want to adapt terminology to suit thread...but I think you`re right.

 

[studio150]

Virtually all parents are protective towards their children and dont want them hurt. I can therefore fully understand the concern and reaction toward a drunk fan.
At least in years to come the boy can say he was there when Sidwell scored from miles away

 

[Poyningsgull]

The police will monitor this thread and hopefully identify the scumbags. Life bans will hopefully follow.

Seems like Reading away all over again.

 

[Mellotron]

Blimey, lot of dickhead responses on here.

He's NINE years old FFS.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Great day/night but boy do we have some ##### as fans. To the one having a pop at us, I suggest reduced 'bag' for a while.

 

[Megazone]

I got bumped into when I was 9 by a drunken piss-head. The only difference was, I took matters into my own hands.

He spent the rest of the game shit scared too.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Can't believe some of the moronic comments on here. Some people must have a very vague memory of what it is like being 9 years old.
