swindlered Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I agree that smoking should be banned. Whilst no danger to your physical health I cannot stand idiot fans who feel forced to share their views (often misguided) with the rest of the stand for the whole ninety minutes. We are entitled to share are opinions but to subject those around you to pure drivel for the whole game should be an evictable offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 There's a bloke in D block of the Williams, sits with a group of older fellas and god does he like to say his opinions just loud enough for everyone to hear. So if you sit in Williams block D, at the back next to the steps, do yourself a favour and pipe down, you make yourself look/sound silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-0 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 people like that do my head in. They talk absolute #### for 90 mins and most of it is rumours. Really they could do with a slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are entitled to share are opinions but to subject those around you to pure drivel for the whole game should be an evictable offence. ← Couldn't agree more. My part of the Atyeo has some real characters who I actually enjoy. Their catchphrases such as "10 yards you bottlers!" and "you never made it (insert name of opposition player)" have the same effect as "listen very carefully, I shall say this only once" did many years ago. But every now and then, there's 2 or 3 people who take the seat behind my season ticket seat and rabbit incessently about what's going, who's doing what, who's not finding the space, how many players should be in the wall and on and on and on. It's a free world so I put up with it but any initiatives taken by the board to stamp out inane running commentaries would probably get my vote.

Milo - Just a quick question but do you sit in block F of the Atteyo ?? The bloke that shouts out you never made it ........... Makes me laugh every game ! As for the bloke that sits behind Swindle red and Boxing Kangaroo giving us the running commentary he deserves a slap for being the most annoying person i have sat near at AG. It might help if he knew what he was talking about, but more often or not really doesnt have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have paid for a ticket afterall. however instead of moaning about it on a forum. why dont u voice your own opinion at the game. Just tell the person too relax or somthing.

MATT BCFC Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 This bloke who sits a few rows back from me in the Atyeo really (I tried to say a naughty word)es me off the whole game he just complains, lets be fair I think the players know when they have made a bad pass they dont need some fat old man in the Atyeo telling them!

Guest MrT Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I have to confess I do talk out load during a football match to my brothers. I don't scream it though. I tend not to listen to anyone elses babbling as I am too interested in the game and not going to be distracted by anyone even if they are spouting support for playing 4-3-3 . I am too interested in City to bother listening to what others have to say. What p*sses me off is City fans leaving early. That gets my goat as it obscures proper fans view of the game. Towards the end of games when some City fans at Ashton Gate leave early and other sections of Ashton Gate are singing "cheerio cheerio" and "we can see you sneaking out" towards the away fans I am half tempted to sing along and wave at our own ****headed fans leaving early. I mean you have to be some sort of ******** to leave early against Brentford the other day. Not everyone of those "fans" had a legitimate reason for leaving early e.g. their wife giving birth My god I am ranting as if their were a match on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could allocate them numbers and then have a sweepstake on which one can get to their car first. At least this would then generate some extra excitement at the end of games. Also any fan who can consistently get to their car before the final whistle sounded could have a special award. How about we whinge about those that leave their rubbish under your seat next?

newboy Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 At least it makes a nice change from whinging about the team. How refreshing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrT Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 How about we whinge about those that leave their rubbish under your seat next? No I'll just settle for complaining about the inconsiderate people that obscure the view for others. We'll leave the litter bugs for another day At least litter bugs don't stop me watching my team.

It would be okay if they knew what they are talking about but more often than not they don't have a clue. As Private Cider just said the bloke/kid behind us in the Atyeo (Block F, Row V - you know who you are !!!) is one of these people and to make it worse he has a really annoying whiney Brizzle accent. On the upside the baldy bloke who shouts "you never made it" is always good for laugh though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row T is in the bottom block of F isnt it? ← Actually it's in the top block about 6 or 7 rows from the back. Block F is surely the best angle in the stadium when Scott Murray's on fire, bursting down the wing and cutting inside, slotting it home and punching the air. Its also a good view to look down at Row C - I'll look out for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
