Glad to see some city fans are so accepting of people wanting to come and spend money at our club!!!
I was sat in my usual season-ticket seat when around 20-25 Poles were sat infront....all very friendly until they scored.....when the gutless wonders behind me wanted them out....but guess what...they were sat ten rows back!!!
Those Poles had spent their good money at our club, and the club had sold them the tickets. Yes they had celebrated and that was not their brightest moment...but the club was at fault for selling them the tickets in the first place and no way should they have been removed and shouted at by some ignorant fans who are so happy we are playing in a european cup...but refuse to accept a little banter and are happy to shout from ten rows back where they are not going to come to any harm!!
And when i defended them i got a mouthful!! From the men on the terraces who are still as misogynist as they were 30 years ago!!!
I take it you sit in front of me. Do you wear glasses and sit next to a ginger lad?
My take on this was: they scored and they jumped up. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. The dancing up and down in our stand was a little antagonising to some of the people sat at the back. They are a bit grumpy at the best of times. When it calmed down. That big Pole sat on his own was asked by the stewards to move, he looked at them and ignored them. Then the police came, still he wouldn't move. Then the police had to move along the row from both sides, and predictibly some blues at the back started chanting 'OUT! OUT! OUT!'. I think it was at this point you lost it(no offence like).
The lad you got into a argument was out of order insulting you. Pissed up people do stupid things. (He left early for example!)
The right course of action was taken with the Poles though. If they'd scored again, you could have a riot on your hands. They instead were moved into the 'away' end to watch the last 30 mins of the match. Job done, we scored a 3rd. Everyones happy.
Final word: There's a really bad vibe in 211 at the moment. About 6-8 blues nearly started a fight between themselves a few weeks ago. We're all blues, and luckily enough to be sat right near the away fans. All this anger should be directed at them. Love each other! ;O)
