Embarrassing fans at away games (11 Viewers)

So are you saying you don't understant the difference between swearing and being offensive? Swearing won't normally get you arrested. Offensive behaviour will.

Smoking is illegal in enclosed areas or in confined spaces where non smokers can't easily get away if they wish. I am a smoker. I don't understand what you are trying to say.

And are you saying that any pastime that costs as much as a season ticket a year is a middle class and not working mans hobby? Is it footballs fault that everything else costs so much these days? Would you be happier if our club never offered more than £500 a week so you could get a season ticket for £100?

No you dont understand.. You said Offensive language first now your saying Offensive behaviour. Big difference in both.

Passive smoking in pubs i understand, in a football ground your in open space, espeicially in our league now where many dont even have roofs. I see lads smoking in toilets and the concourse which is wrong but thats what happens.

Football fans get treated like shit by clubs and police alike. You dont understand the whole concept of affordablity do you? Many struggle to get by in life with basics. Football has become a luxury for many now. Before the days of sky it was affordable for all not anymore. You think everyone can still afford a football match every week?

And a season ticket has nothing to do with what you are saying? Why is that when anyone can buy them. Buy one of them and you can go to all the home games.Shall we not mention the other packages you can also get? How about young kids getting in for free? Older kids with cheap tickets. Concessions for pensioners and students.

Not all tickets are over £20 either. But you are trying to make it sound as though if you like going to football games it will cost everyone over £20 per game and only the middle class can afford it. We all know this is wrong.

Yet again your WAY off the mark. A football day used to be affordable. Not anymore. A day out for a family costs in excess of £50. Tickets, food, drink parking etc... Your average fan is priced out.

Cus, are you trying to cause an argument out of nothing?

Offensive language is offensive behaviour. How can you say they are different? Point out where I have contradicted myself.

The law on smoking is smoking is not allowed unless more than 50% of walls and roof are missing.

You said the working man can't afford to go. I mentioned how cheap you can go for. Now you want the working man to take his whole family and all of them to eat and drink.

I agree that times are hard. I know a lot of people. I know how hard it is. I have kids that are adults. Two of them are students. I help them out. I know that people are struggling more than for many years. Football clubs can't suddenly half what they pay players. But if you look at our prices you will see they are quite well priced to the rest of this division. Not cheap, but would you be happy if we had the lowest wagebill in Div3? Sky fucked football up. We have paid the price.
