WhistleHappy Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Respect to both sets of supporters for their stadium self clean up efforts after their matches... It's all about self respect and respect for others... Wouldn't it be great if their example becomes generally accepted as the norm? People taking responsibility for cleaning uo their own waste and debris in all walks of life, a movement started by football supporters from separate continents with a common motivation, a desire to respect and be respected. I'm thinking, not just football stadiums and fan villages etc, but all outdoor events (think Glastonbury as an example which takes clean up teams days to clear up at an inevitable inclusive cost to ticket prices) .. Think our town and City centres on mornings after the night before, the amount of rubbish that is cleaned by councils all over the country, again at a cost via council taxes to all of us. The debris created by fast foot/takeaways etc, feeding rats the size of cats... All down to everyday ordinary people letting themselves and society down by disrespecting the environment and disposing of small amounts of personal trash creating mountains of unsightly (sometimes hazardous) waste, small personal items that could so easily be taken home or disposed of considerately and responsibly, with minimum effort. The key word here is simply RESPECT, for the environment, for others, and for self... Its so easy if only we all take a leaf out of the Japanese and Senegalese football supporters example.. Dispose of our own trash and don't just ignore the crap left behind by other more disrespectful individuals. One can, one crisp packet at a time, and the World can be a better, less expensive, more pleasant place to live in. Starting with the supporters of two international sets of football fans - Much MUTUAL RESPECT to them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect for your post which I agree with but most football stadiums the stewards want you out of the ground as soon as possible so they can go collect their money.

A Horse With No Name Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Can’t help thinking about those bean bags ripped apart at the Fans village and the mess caused. Different cultures I’m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I manage to go to Ashton Gate on a match day and not create any trash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 would be great, but you only have to sit in a KFC car park to watch some people wind the window down and just chuck the litter out, they then pull away and drive past a bin where you do not even need to get out the car to dispose of the rubbish. Culture seems to be someones problem, but not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Never mind fans putting their rubbish in the bins, some drongos at the gate don't even pull the bloody flush after spray decorating the chodbins in the Dolman. Trap 2 could have been mistaken for a bloody trout farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of people who don't bother washing their hands after doing their business in public toilets is shocking... Straight out of the cubicle grab the door handles (not at the Gate) and back to the bar or table where they and their friends are eating meals... Un effing believable them muppets!

I don't where all other users of a public bathroom have been putting their grubby hands. For me it's a quick slash, touch nothing in the loo, and if necessary dry my hands in the bowls of peanuts on the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
