Family claim they were assaulted by stewards @ Gill's match

Sitting is not conducive to singing. Standing is much better

Take away the vociferous minority at a game of football and you end up with an atmosphere akin to a theatre. Is that what you want?

I don't understand how it is that all parties can't get what they want. It's so, so simple to arrive at a compromise in which all parties will be satisfied.

This 100%.

The atmosphere was terrible on Saturday and will only get worse.

You can't moan about the vociferous minority on one had, and then the poor atmosphere on the other. The two go hand in hand.

Politely sitting in your seat and not swearing doesn't create an atmosphere.

Without atmosphere football is nothing.

Oh yes of course you have to be stood up to sing, clap chant and create an atmosphere, oh and of course swear! An essential part of showing your support! Clubs receive letters from the FA about fans conduct and you of course may find that Argyle are just doing what is required of them by the FA, which is follow the rules that have been laid down. Argyle don’t create the laws they just try and get the fans to follow them. Or perhaps we should just flout them and ignore the FA representatives who are frequently present during the games.

Yes you really do! Sadly a few people sat down meekly clapping and chanting doesn't create an atmosphere.

Everyone has their own expectations of supporting the team, if you want to sit passively fine, if you want to create an atmosphere that should be encouraged. The post I quoted was about compromise and that's what needs to be found.

At the moment Argyle seem to have a zero tolerance policy and its destroying the atmosphere.

But you sit there in your library be all means.

So what part of your anatomy stops you sitting and singing? Perhaps you should see a GP. He may be able to subscribe something.

...or prescribe even!!

It's true, sitting down is an atmosphere killer. People fall into a malaise and barely bother clapping let alone singing after ten minutes sat down.

As the old saying goes, Stand up if you love the greens!

I love the greens but I never stand up. :greensmile:

However I really get why people want to.

Don’t sit there meekly in a library at all. Frequently in the Devenport end sat, singing and chanting along with the rest. I’m obviously one of the talented few who can do so. You should try it sometime it’s not so difficult really.

Oh my, this is such an easy tap in.

 

[Guiri Green]

I sit, I sing very loudly, I shout, I swear like a Trooper at everything I see. I cant see the problem.

Everyone else does however and I'm banned from every Library and Church in Devon.

Don’t let your other stalkers know you have favourites.

I like the way this thread has gone from a fan being assaulted for climbing over the seats, fans being ejected for standing up, atmosphere in the stadium and now Balham Green and his stalkers.
