Wilksi Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 What with all this talk about ban smoking/swearing/gingerism/gypoism/fatism and god knows whatever else you lot can come up with, I have been thinking, shall we have a dress code at the gate as well?? It seems football is losing its roots and is going upper class... shall we all partake in english lessons so we can all speak in an accent appropirate for a football ground?? Ashton Gate is a morgue at the best of times, and with you lot tying to stop BANTER and everything else it will be more like going to the opera than a football match.. Citys fans, all you ever do is moan, if its not on players it is on your own fans... Victor Meldrew, the lot of you.. Please lighten up a bit and look on the bright side of life..... Stop picking on minorities.. the lot of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I would like to pint out that you are being pompus and over reacting. You are the type of person that will shout if someone makes a spelling mistake or misses grammar whats the point in banter if everyone on here is a BCFC supporter? We all love this club and if we keep Leeeeeerrrooooy in Jan we will be winning this league. Oh and you want me to look on the bright side, yeah great, when we lose 1-0 and i come back to my car being broken into? yeah cheers Wilksi. Ashton Gate is not a morgue, cause if it was it would be very disrespectful to play a football game in there. I have a huge problem with fatism, i am fat.

Gerry Gows' Tash Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Totally agree, the tide of political correctness sweeping over football is in danger of killing the game as a spectator sport. It's all very well trying to appeal to the "family" and the "middle class" market, but these people are selective about the matches they attend, have no passion for the club and will desert it when things aren't going well, they are not real fans and will never be the backbone of the club. They are happy to go on a summers day out to Mill Stad but how many of them will turn up to watch us play wrexham in the league on a cold night in Feb ? If you want to sit in a quiet, no-smoking, no swearing, no banter, no jokes atmoshere then go to the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a bit more specific to your points, why don't families and the middle class market support as much as everyone else? ← Quite agree. I've got a mortgage and went to college. I've also got three kids, the youngest of whom is five months old. As a consequence of being a family man (who is possibly middle class - discuss), I have to be selective about the games I attend currently. Oh I also live in South Wales and so have a slighter longer trek to home games than those of you who live in BS3. I would love to be at Ashton Gate on a freezing February evening with two of my sons in tow and indeed I'll make every effort to get there. But with my wife on maternity leave, I may not be able to afford it. I guess that'll disappoint some of you and bring my loyalty into question. But believe me, this middle class family man would give anything to be at the Gate every week given the resources. Scooter Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Red ← I accept that all fans whether working/middle/chav class cannot make every game (I went to college and am a civil servant with a mortgage btw).

Thats just my point! If you choose a lifesyle which includes smoking then fine,it's your life!! but why should the other 20 people around you have to suffer the potential health problems passive smoking brings!! I really couldnt care if you smoked 200 a day :Cool27: but not whilst your sharing the same air as me ,I think it's sad even after all the medical research regarding passive smoking and it's effects some smokers still have this selfish blinkered attitude.

I personally find it difficult to believe that with the amount of pollution already in the air from cars etc that a bit of fag smoke makes much difference ?

Is it the research that smokers are the only people who can live the high life? You do have a choice about car exhausts. Move to the countryside! Though it's interesting to note that exhaust pollution is move likely to affect people in cars in the traffic jam than the pedestrians and cyclists who are moving through it.
