[Albion] What do you consider an annoying/unbearable “neighbour” at the Amex?

What I’m getting from this threat is the amount of foul mouthed kids that go with adults.
I think one mentioned on here stood behind me at Chelsea this season, only about 13 but the anger and the leg breaking shouts were tedious and never ending.
He was with I assume his mother and (I’m generalising now) she didn’t fit the chavvy stereotype and on appearance looked like someone that wouldn’t allow it, therefore there’s got to be a reason for it, Tourette’s or something?
Anyway as I’m a borderline alcoholic who hadn’t had a drink that night, I therefore was a coward and I just kept my mouth shut and put up with it for 90 minutes.
My wife told one bloke off at Spurs he was probably mid 20’s the only words in his vocabulary began with F and C and all he could do with his hands was make wanker signs at Spurs fans.

Wife told him to grow up as it was not acceptable with kids around… he shrunk into his shell and was a good boy for the next 90 mins. I guess he didn’t like being told off by a woman.

There's a guy just behind us who seems to be getting more vocal in recent weeks. Seemed to start as a frustrated "Come on, Brighton" every now and again, but is getting more and more annoying.

There's shouts of "Forward", usually at the time we are actually going forward; shouts of "Quicker" when we are moving the ball quickly. The latest from this football genius was Thursday night, when he shouted "Get in the box, Welbeck!", about 2.5 seconds before Welbeck scored the curler from outside the box.
You wouldn’t happen to be in W2D, behind the South side of the Directors’ box (say rows E-J, seats 99-120 ish) would you?

A guy has started turning up next to me in N1E who claims someone is in his regular seat every game, or that it used to be his old seat. Seems fairly normal about half an hour before the game, disappears until about ten minutes after the game has started, comes back absolutely trollied. Slurring and incoherent comments on the game carry on until just before half time when he goes to top up. Home against Roma he missed the goal, when he came back I'm not sure he even knew we had scored...
He disappears before full time and we all get to enjoy the rest of the game.

Obviously he has "issues"
He could be nervous and thinks he needs alcohol to be there.

Either that or his just a tw@t

I did the same to Gavin Hoyte from the Withdean south stand. Ten minutes into a game it was clear that yet again he was half asleep, as some very average opposition winger was catching him out of position every time. Bellowing:

“WAKE UP HOYTE FOR F@CKS SAKE”.

It made no difference. But made my son laugh.
This needs it's own thread... the "What have you shouted or heard shouted at a particular player in a moment of sheer frustration, usually fuelled by alcohol"...

Exhibit A - "PEEEAKKKEEEE - Why don't you F off back to Rochdale you C" when taking a corner in front of the North Stand.
Exhibit B - "When you going back to the Barnet Codner?!" - I'm seeing a theme here...

and my personal favourite:
Exhibit C - "This is about your LEVEL Wilkins!" - Away at a pre-season friendly at the San Siro (Welling United)

Telling someone off for swearing at an away match. Modern football eh

(Bad fan) in 48 years of attending on and off, I did join in the booing of two players, Hoyte and Akpom. The latter was fully deserved.

I didn't boo the yet another Potter non Amex win that time, I therefore escape the history lesson.

Whilst Obika was harmless, everyone just laughed.

From NS block D I definitely also bellowed "Wake up Montoya", as we witnessed a succession of right-wingers destroying him, his defensive positioning was sh1t. You don't neat searing pace, Veltman simply 'has it'.

I’m proper old school so personally I wouldn’t tell anyone off at the match however I fully understand anyone getting annoyed or upset if the individual standing behind them is constantly calling all and sundry a c*nt or f***ing helling every 30 seconds like some do.

A nerdy smelly lad in the front row E1E with bumfluff and bad BO! He constantly shouts at the ref and the away fans, they same insults over and over again, he's very aggressive and annoying. He doesn't quite understand they can't bloody hear him anyway!

sadly in Scotland
A couple of posh boys a few rows back where one talks loudly telling the other one what is happening and usually getting the players names wrong......because I just grab any seat I can get a ticket for when down for a match there always seem to be a (different) pair nearby somewhere.....should be too loud for me to hear them really but sadly often not.....

To get that intoxicated in 40 minutes he is almost definitely on more than booze.

There is no need to call everyone a F@cking C@nts constantly at the top of your voice.....actually its quite embarrassing when there are kids and ladies about.......but if you feel its normal behavior...that says a lot..

Time and place.

When I was an Amex nomad between ST’s, a few times I bought tickets for the NE corner. Despite the brilliant football of the first CH team, the place was a graveyard. I got dirty looks for roaring on our wingers on the counter, also occasional swearing.

Some interesting comments (above)

A mate of mine gets legless on 2 pints. He weighs about 17 stone. Me and his missus had to drag him upstairs one time they stayed round. That was my work-out for the week.

I will say it again, everyone around us in west upper (apart from someone careless who sits behind @monty uk apparently) is really nice. Even @Green Cross Code Man :wink:

In a rare visit to the North at Withdean I got tutting for shouting, and was eventually shhhhhed. FFS!
