The language isn't too wholesome at away games, and my 8 year old had her first taste at Pompey ths year. She didn't enjoy the atmosphere at Fratton but loves the Amex, so she is just doing home Games now.
Football is not the theatre Royal, and there will be intimidating hostile and rude language used at away games. If you don't enjoy it then you don't go, but it shouldn't be changed for any reason or anyone, as that is what football is.

I'm with you Sir, it sounds like the op was sat next to someone who was far more interested in slagging off the opposition than watching the game and supporting the team. We've all been there and it is very tiresome and distracting. It's a sad fact that some "people" go to the football ostensibly to engage in tribal posturing rather than to enjoy (or otherwise) the game. In my book, they are not welcome.

I agree excessive use of the C word is over the top but you can't seriously be surprised by it....

How come your daughter got a ticket ? I thought this was a sell out done on loyalty points ?

How many of those of you who have made sarcastic and/or opposing comments to the OP have got children of, let's say, match-attending age...?
If so, do you bring your children to matches? And do you mind your children hearing all that sort of language?
If you haven't got children of that age, let me know when you have, and I'll shout and swear and behave threateningly in front of them, and see how they (and you, and your missus) like it. Only then will you really realise the effect it has on them.
You could also join me in 'campaigning' for distinct family areas for away fans at all grounds, instead of 'lumping' everyone together randomly wherever the ticketing computer happens to put you. Then, everyone will be more likely to be able to enjoy the game in the way they want to.

Fortunately for me my Girls 1st and last match was on a cold evening match in 2008 at Withdean-put her off for life..
I don't agree with swearing in the main and would not like my 13 year old daughter to swear,however i swear in front of her when i can and as i like,it's helping her as she will hear far worse outside the family walls-if i took her to an away match she would be under no doubt as to what to expect,i will tell her what people are like.
I would also join you in the family thing,and also the reverse of this-areas with NO UNDER 14's allowed,swearing permitted areas too.

Not really, as she should not have had a ticket in the first place. She would not have been at the match to hear the swearing. Would have saved her dad having to write a thread on NSC. He could have done something constructive with his evening.

The problem with away matches is nobody gets to choice where they sit. At home if you sit in the north stand you know what to expect. At a sold out away match you can end up with your kids next to a bunch of geezers enjoying a rowdy sat afternoon. I think you just have to give these away matches a miss if you think you or the kids are going to be a bit offended.
Not good I agree. But on a lighter note with the youth today perhaps she was surprised to here an adult use it...........and not one of her peers.

Why should I miss out on games like today's just because of some idiotic, mindless, numbskull knobheads?
Grow some backbone man, and join me in trying to do something about it... See above post.

Indeed, and I would support that too. Then, as I implied in my post, everyone's a winner, as people would be more likely to have like-minded people around them.
