Pezo Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ahhhh the classic struggle of the proletariat vs bourgeois only nowadays the prolateriat are the young working hard to better themselves and the bourgeois are the old with there private pensions that have worked for it. Yes our support is aging so yes I would expect somewhat of a gentrification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ring Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Is a ‘working class’ person defined by the amount of money they earn? A lot of people seem to have been priced out of the game, which may explain part of this. I can afford it, as I earn more than I used to, but I still consider myself ‘working class’. My valet, however, has to do my shopping at Harvey Nichols, as he can’t afford a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not notice the Stannah stair lift attached to the railing? It's that which causes us to spend 45 minutes getting out of the Dolman.

ColeCiderRed Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 My question really is. Does it really matter? As long as you support the club through thick and thin. Not sure it matters what class you are. Tho I draw the line at non binary, gender fluid/neutral fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Getting posher? Cripes, I should say not, there's still plenty of riff-raff around. Only yesterday the fellow sat next to me ventured the opinion that City were playing badly. There should be no place for split infinitives in modern stadia. I texted the new number but to no avail.

spudski Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'm more surprised how 'working class' lads can afford to smoke, £10 a packet, and buy Stone Island...hardly comparable to a season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thank God for yesterdays Bolton contingent, the air was thick with the aroma of black pudding, the car park lined with charabangs stuffed full s' racing pigeons n' whippets and the wholesome good humour of bemuffled northern chaps wearing Nat Lofthouse flat caps filled the smog. What they must make of us lager chugging softies...........who can say? I'm just grateful to have glimpsed a moment or two of when life were grand and Ena Sharples reigned supreme. It were like Deja Vu all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to note, when I first started on Crackers Corner there were many dockers, tugmen and labourers, but also teachers, doctors, lecturers et al (who all had to get up first thing on a Monday morning which I my definition of working class. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Although I come from a very traditional, working class Bristol family, through paying attention in school and working hard, I now have what most would call a middle-class job and home life. Not sure which stand I should be in? Or should I just switch straight to rugby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 5 hours ago, Nogbad the Bad said: Surely the Dolman only became 'working class' when the Park End and the Enclosure mob moved up there en masse to Blocks A & B. If you look at pictures of the Dolman when it first opened the majority of fans were wearing suits! When I was a kid, going in The Dolman was a treat because dad may have got a bit of OT in...We were firmly Open End in the early mid 70’s then moved to the EE when we got fed up getting wet.. by the 80’s we moved between the EE and the Dolman, saw us beat Liverpool in 77 from the EE and Jimmy Mann hit THAT shot from the Dolman, in fact i was right inline with him when he hit it!...Point is the Dolman almost by definition had a slightly more affluent bunch many of whom left early!

sticks 1969 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Slightly off topic I remember people moaning when the dolman went up £1.50 to a fiver after a promotion year if you can sit in the middle of the dolman I can not think of a better stand to sit in to watch live football anywhere in the uk. totally brilliant view and you get to see the run of play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
