I feel disapointed =(

Postby Currey » Tue Aug 19, 2008 4:47 pm

As many of you know with wwork commitments I could only make the first game of the season by chance and the rest of the season seems to be a no go area with me and my boss....

The whole "I want Saturdatys off!" debate seems to be going nowhere apart from round in circles :x

Sadly my work life is not what I'm writing about, I would never usually start a thread on SV and will probly get alot of stick for this one but I feel in needs to be said that on Saturday there was no real get up and go and im not talking about from the players this time, I dont know if it is with this new "no swearing" thing that is going around but I felt the North Stand a little quiet which im not used to, it was quite packed at the start of the game but I felt 2nd half and beyond we had groups of people walking out and nobody really sang the whole game apart from a few lads around me, but even then they got mocked by a group of certain people at teh back, who we will probly never see again untill next season.

Not really a rant or anything just want opinions on;

1) What is the reason for shrimps silence?
2) Do you blame the ban?

:?

Firstly, I hope you get something sorted out for Saturdays. Secondly the ban-I see no point in having such a ban, speaking as a parent who goes to internationals, premier league and whatever Morecambe games I can get to, I would say there should be a family area. My own choice would be the paddock as this would solve two issues;It is far enough from the North Stand where swearing may occur away from small ears, it would also alleviate the recent issues of verbal abuse from certain people in the paddock towards the manager.
It will never satisy everybody, but to just tell people they can't swear is just as bad as saying they can't say anything when things are going badly. We've all heard the "groans" loudly when a move has gone pear-shaped. So long as the swearing isn't of the worst of words it would be petty to try and stop it.

Yeh now here is someone after my own heart!!!! :oops:

Dont just tell people they cant do something, come up with a solution that could suit everybody. A brilliant idea. I fully agree and think it wouldn't be a bag suggestion to make. Your never going to get the prem clubs to stop, so I dont feel we should have too I know this makes me seem like a person who is saying "If he isnt doing it why should I have too" but that is how I feel, it is Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal ect that influence it more than Morecambe.

That is a brilliant idea, I found myself screaming "How the f**k do they expect us not to swear after that!!" as I left the north stand on Saturday :oops:

The whole things gone way OTT and must agree with Ben, after hearing those little kids over the P.A, I subliminally checked myself from swearing and lost that bit of inner passion that flows during the game, not that I come out with seriously bad language :D
Usually the 'Boll*x come on ref!' or Liner 'can't you run that bloody line properly' shite decision' kind of thing, why try to take away something that's always been there? like smokers there should be an allocated place preferably soundproof for those who don't want to hear anyone else within the ground then others can express themselves as they've always done without worry of running the gauntlet of Big Brother who we seem to be seeing more and more of in our everyday lives.

Ask to do split shifts, work the Saturday morning and night with 2pm-6pm off. That's what I'm doing, I missed last Saturday due to a wedding but I'm not wasting me season ticket.

Have to agree too.

Football has traditionally been the sport of the working class and a little bit of choice language was always common and great for getting tension out and helping the atmosphere.

Grounds, not just CP, are going to get quieter and quieter and this is going to turn away more fans. I think some people just want to kill the game off. Who on earth wants to pay a lot of money to watch a game with no chanting at the opposition, partisan joviality and basically no atmosphere apart from a few young young children singing high pitched Sunday school type songs. It's going too far now. It's not a case of wanting a return to war on the terraces, it's simply a case of wanting a decent atmosphere at the stadium and the chance to participate in voice without the fear of being arrested or thrown out.

Brilliant post Durian! (i'd applaud you if there was smiley for it ;0)

Got me thinking, how long will this 'Fad' last? you can bet your bottom dollar the moment it starts to affect the incomes of the clubs it will be reversed over night
It's the biggest load of codswallop thus thought up :roll:
