i have noticed in the new standing section that the mentals are a little safer without the threat of falling lads behind you, a lot less movement Don't think you can call them 'mentals' any more, mate. oh god what do we call it now? im guessing we cant refer to it as limbs anymore, just in case somebody missing an appendage is offended? |

But it is not is it. Sattire is a skill, demands inteligence, and has to be funny. The author obviouslsly lacks skill and inteligence, which results in a clueless unfunny statement. Anybody can write anything that is offensive, and call it satire, it doesn't mean it is. What are admin. doing, are they sitting on their hands? Disability comes under the equality hate crime acts, and there is no doubt, criminal offences have been carried out on this thread. That’s a lot of words to demonstrate that you don’t understand satire. Also I recommend you don’t watch South Park which is one of the best satirical shows ever. Trust me, it’s not for you. He’s also basically saying that the only differentiator between satire and hate speech is how funny it is. So a failed attempt at humour (which is entirely subjective) becomes an act of criminality… I’m not even sure badge watching The Last Leg would agree with that. |

Isn’t it strange how the best away fans never have any fans sitting down at away games.. Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland… interesting that 🤔 Christ I even remember at Southampton away last season their fans were singing ‘how shit must you be, you sit down away’. They must view it differently

They must view it differently I actually get where you’re coming from BUT it depends on the demographic of our fans and we have a lot of older regulars who sit down near the front at away games not through choice I’d imagine. I’d be a perfect example now because with Degenerative Disc Disease in my back I now find it very difficult to stand for long periods of time and maybe some of our fans also suffer from certain ailments that force them to sit down |

They must view it differently So let's say that you can't travel unless you can stand up for the entire match. Then there wouldn't be any problem. What you keep on ignoring is that the tickets are sold as seats. If it was in a safe standing area then you would have a point but whatever you or other team's fans think or sing, if you are standing in a all seater stadium you are in the wrong not the people who want to sit with an uninterrupted view of the pitch not trying to peer between a group of loud mouthed probably drunk fans. If you don't like that, don't go. I am sure the club value all well behaved fans equally, but hate having to deal with the anti social ones. I also take issue with your assertion earlier that this all happened in rows 5-10 and if you want to sit you should be on the front row. How many rows were there because unless there were less than twenty I would say rows five to ten were the front rows. It is also probable that they were recommended by the club as being in the area to go if you wanted to sit. Perhaps in future you should make sure you buy a ticket on the back row. I suggest you take up your complaint with the club and see what response you get instead of your continual moaning on here. EDIT: Just a warning, most of the fans you are deriding as being embarrassing because they are so old, probably stood on the old terracing when they were your age and wish they still could now. Unfortunately ageing happens to all of us and as my doctor keeps telling me when I mention aches and pains, it's your body getting older and telling you that you can't do the things you used to. What happened to a society that used to respect and care for the older generation? |

They must view it differently What's strange is that you're now trebling down on your, quite frankly, childish and moronic view. I assume Leeds/Sheff Wednesday fans don't have a single disabled or elderly fan that needs to sit down then? Are the disabled and elderly "shit" in your view then? And I couldn't give a toss what Southampton fans think. You'd have to be either thick or a child to care what other fans think, especially for something as trivial as this. |

I have to sit every now and again due to having a dodgy knee but that makes me a shit fan as well apparently. Ignore the fact that I don't live in the area and I've still got my season ticket and I've just spent the weekend in Plymouth, that means nothing due to me sitting down for a minute or so. Honestly, this thread is the absolute pits isn't it? Dick measuring over sitting, fuck me sideways, pathetic 😂 |

Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland… interesting that 🤔 Christ I even remember at Southampton away last season their fans were singing ‘how shit must you be, you sit down away’. They must view it differently The 3 clubs you mention are all bigger clubs and, Leeds/Sunderland especially (not as sure about Sheff Wed) sell out with ease almost everywhere they go. What’s likely happening is the less able bodied supporters of these clubs have stopped going away because the whole away support stands, but they are just replaced with younger supporters; and because demand outstrips supply and these clubs likely use loyalty points for away tickets, their whole away support becomes people capable of standing. I get where you’re coming from in a sense but this is what’s likely happening, and what will continue to happen regarding our away support regardless of who thinks it’s smalltime. I’m sure it’s the same with similar sized clubs to stoke who don’t have a huge surplus of fans wishing to travel. I suppose the only possible solution for avoiding conflict is for the ticket office to specifically ask who plans to stand/sit, and sell the furthest back/front tickets depending on the respective answer. Then there would be minimum overlap between standers/sitters. |

To sum it up
You're not a fan if you sit
Best fans, whatever that means, don't have single fan that sits
You got all so very upset by Soton fans and it still hurts , a game we won
You can tell if folk are disabled by looking at them and if they have difficulty standing or not

Is it because our young uns cannot afford to go from Stoke, poor wages ,cost etc so our away support is old and needs to sit.I admit it doesnt look as though we are passionate though others eyes and we dont hardly sing so we are really a non-entity.Life moves on ,many clubs have sections where flags etc are encouraged, we frown and mock them,new songs, we dont sing any etc etc.
I posted a comparison with the Aberdeen fans earlier and the contrast in age is massive.
Anyway old fan base,unhealty fan base,skint fan base etc

Depends what you call atmosphere. For me I enjoy the volume and the singing but don't enjoy some of the behaviour which comes with it. I enjoy the atmosphere where I sit in the Tile Mountain. When the team are doing well and everyone is singing and supporting and.. sitting down so that you can watch the football. Having had someone land on me from three rows back when we scored at one away match I prefer to sit amongst other people who are sitting and just jump out of their seats when we score. i have noticed in the new standing section that the mentals are a little safer without the threat of falling lads behind you, a lot less movement I've noticed that there is hardly anyone there before kick off, before half time, before 2nd half kick off and definitely after the final whistle, so the master plan of having home fans cheering the team in and out of the tunnel is just a little bit flawed. is it because they're standing they have to go for several lay downs? yes I am old yes I have a seat at the back few rows of block 31 yes I do stand, but now kiddies can have tickets anywhere I have a little one directly behind me, so I'm definitely in the "jump up with everyone else" club. yes I could move but I value the relationships built up between us all over the years. and yes like a lot in this block we need a stairlift installing to get to our seats. Oh to be young |

Degenerative Disc Disease must have supported World of Twist. Nah, sounds more like they'd support Napalm Death. Degenerative Disc Disease is a song by Napalm Death. Only lasts for thirty seconds before crumbling into a pile of sonic dust. It was released as a double A side release with Stand Up (If you hate The Vale) by Discharge on the flip. |
