Anyone sit in WSL near the away dugout? Help needed!

I'm not being funny mate, but you must have known that the family stand existed, and took your children in there.

Ok seeing as everyone is jumping on the bandwagon saying that it is embarrassing etc. I'll explain why I haven't said anything to the guy. He has some sort of speech impediment/disability so what he is saying cannot be heard and is just swearing and spitting. I didnt know whether it would be appropriate to go up to someone with an ailment and confront them when it may Not be deemed appropriate. I'm all for the support of team/banter with opposition but when I am bringing my children to the game do not expect constant use of swear words and use of the word c unt. I was just interested to see if anyone else had approached stewards before regarding the situation but as per on this board people just try to put down and mock a fairly innocent and innocuous question.

No, you asked if we;d get involved in an e-petition, which is a bit different to this post.

Well then, perhaps you or the OP should have a word with his carer, and express your concerns.

Had you stopped your post before mentioning the e petition you might not have got so much grief.

If there is something upsetting you just speak to a steward

Indeed. Nor did he mention in the original plea for backing, that the target of his frustrations was disabled.

So speak to a steward, if it really is that bad they have to do something.

What do you think an e-petition will achieve?

If it was just you and not your children having to deal with it then I would say just ignore i know i swear now and again during games but as your children are involved and you are really that bothered by it then i suggest you make a note of the row and seat number(s) of his seat and his carer and then contact the club either in person and then you might be able to get the club to deal with it in some way, hope this advice helps you, good luck.

Maybe e-petition was the wrong phrase but I just thought an email from several people would carry more weight from one person.

 

[Lush]

Maybe speak to BODS (Brighton Official Disabled Supporters) and ask their advice? Is Sally Townsend still the contact?

I agree with you. I'm not naive enough to think that my boy hasn't heard swearing before but when it is non stop, it does get on your wick a bit!

I'm with others about the epetition thing. If it's that bad ask a steward, you've immediately put it in the clubs hands and they'll make a decision. If he doesn't do anything drop a note to the club. I can understand why you don't want to confront it directly but a petition feels really sneaky.
