I shall be moving from the Ponty so that my U11 can enjoy (hopefully) a swear free zone in the East Upper. Wouldn't dream of subjecting her to the crap that get spouted in the seats I've had since the new Ponty was built. I don't mind it so much, but my mum hates it & I don't really want my daughter hearing it. No guarantees in Family enclosure, but hopefully not too much swearing.
I think fans should be allowed to swear in Ponty if they see fit but I would hope swearing would be nil in the Family Enclosure as its surely all Dads and kids??
Why not make people who intend to swear wear an orange shirt/jumper so that they can be avoided, and thus be given the right to do so at ..... of all things..... a bloody football match.
People who wish to swear Are free to do so - which is why I have stayed in my seat for 12 - 13 years. What I'm saying is that whilst I acknowledge that my daughter will pick up swear words as she goes along thru school, I would like to avoid the situation where she thinks that a swear word chucked in every 5th word (for effect) is normal behaviour - it's not - it's just inability to talk coherantly, usually demonstrated by people of limited intelligence. e.g Blokes behind me in Ponty (unacceptable swearing ) in standard conversation ..... " So anyway I went out on a F~~~~g night out last night , god it was f####g ace, had 10 pints, f####g best beer you've evr had... f####g brillant... should 've seen my f####g mate, f####g right state he was in the f#####g tw###....... etc etc for 90 mins Acceptable swearing How the F### did Odejeyi miss that?! That's the difference.
RE: People who wish to swear (Y) I fully understand fired old bean. Pease accept my apologies for my flippancy (pint)
Guy who used to stand near us in the Ponty ... he was well known for his swearing ... never stopped. f###ing this; f###ing that. Anyway, we once came out of an away game in which the Reds had been trailing, and we snatched a win late on. Everyone (including him) was leaving the ground happy - big smiles all around. ... but no, it started "spitting". Cue the miserable fella "CHUFFIN F####in Bas#### F####in RAIN!!!!"
RE: Guy who used to stand near us in the Ponty Wasn't Kelv by any chance was it? Used to stand near him in the Ponty, was always moaning! Think I might even have been at that away game, sounds familiar.
No idea Small thin bloke with thinning hair & a moustache. Always had a programme tucked neatly in a bag. Used to go ballistic about nothing. Me & my sister just call him "Chuffin f##ckin", though he may well have a real name.
RE: No idea Sounds like a certain individual i have come across that originates from Wuzbrer. I can also recall coming out of the Ponty after the 6-0 demolition of Peterborough to hear some wag slagging Parker and Aylott for a couple of missed chances. Thing is, Parker had got a couple of goals that evening too
Your sister should know I remember her going ballistic once, not long ago. Chuffin f##ckin indeed!!!!
RE: Your sister should know I know who you mean now He does get a bit angry at away games but he must be a passionate fan so fair play to him and he's one of those you ALWAYS see at away matches
