Outrageous, the club is dying on it's arse and they choose to alienate supporters who are paying good money to watch utter dross week in, week out.

You never did get a season ticket did you?

by **Stepper_T** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:26 pm

What's that got to do with it?

by **chboro** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:27 pm

Same as what was put on the North Stand seats earlier in the season - ignore it and get on with it.

by **Powlay** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:45 pm

To be honest, people know its the law, they have to sit down. They shouldnt complain when a steward is doing their job ffs.

Its clearly something that they have to do, or we wouldnt pass the satfey checks. The club are only covering their backs its a letter its not a man with handcuffs

Boro fans are fucking senseless at times, they get worked up over nothings.

by **Shaun71** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:46 pm

Ive just read the letter and yes I agree we all know the law regarding standing. We may disagree with it but the laws the law.

However the last paragraph could have been worded better or not at all.

No, No, No, its the Last Paragraph thats taking the Piss

by **Powlay** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:50 pm

The last part yes, the banging, well it is annoying as fook if its consistant.

But i agree totally about the last bit being a part that shouldnt be there. From 'please stop'

by **boroPE** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 9:51 pm

Its a football gound FFS.

..and we all agree that the last paragraph shouldnt have been put it in, or reworded better. Regardless of whether its a football ground the law states you cant stand.

You not stand at away games ?

by **Powlay** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:06 pm

I do, and have been told to sit, have and then returned to standing.

But this isnt about the treatment of away fans is it?

by **Powlay** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:07 pm

Or is the next thing going to be, 'well we dont tell them do we?'

The away fans is something totally different and should be treat as such, this is about home fans standing when they are asked not to, clearly its not asked once as the club wouldnt send out letters for a one of thing would they?

by **tunstall** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 10:54 pm

how are you supposed to get to and from your seat if its illegal to stand up? it would take for ever

by **Powlay** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:32 pm

the persistant standing it the problem im led to believe, not actually standing up and then sitting down, or standing up and moving in or out of the seated area's.

But then again, i dunno why im answering as you are being a pedant.

by **Teenage Rocket Dog** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:36 pm

a love supreme is having a good laugh about this, i do think its quite funny but absolutley pathetic, if your going to complain about noise levels dont go to the match! i kow the stewards are absolute cocks at the SOL getting people to sit down but not many people listen in the end and the stewards start to click on, i dont know what there like at the riverside but i can imagin they are the same!

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:52 pm

So how do you sing sitting down?

You don't, that's the problem.

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:55 pm

They want singing,they want noise,they want an atmosphere,how the fuck do you do that sitting down twiddling ya thumbs?

Its not a case about singing when your sat down. Its law and has been for the past decade or so that you cant stand at ANY stadium. Whether you agree with that or not, thats how it is!

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sat Feb 21, 2009 11:59 pm

Bollocks to the law,do you always sit down at the Riverside then?

They've killed football for the fan,fuck the lot of em,you wonder why people are turning there backs on football?

Bollocks to the law then eh? You obviously dont know why the law came in then

Weve had excellent atmospheres in the Riverside, admittedly not for a few years now but still in the days of people sitting down. The Liverpool 98 game was probably one of the best Ive witnessed pre or post all seater stadia

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:07 am

Course I know why the law was enforced,but with strict rules,strict stewarding,why can't standing be allowed?

Have the family sections and the sections where people cant be bothered to stand,but have a couple standing.

I think the problem with respects to the atmosphere is to do with the utter dirge being served up week after week on the pitch, and not the law about standing.

ITS NOT ALLOWED COS ITS THE FUCKING LAW. CHRIST ALMIGHTY!

Its nice to see that the clubs ineptness on the pitch is mirrored in the admin dept, wait till capy gets into this, the grammer is awful :lol:

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:14 am

Change the law then!! FFS

great atmosphere yes but not cos we where all being law abiding fans
and siting down like we should so cos the steward say so
more to do with the fact the team where playing good and we had something
to be passionate about

I dont disagree with that. I was just saying there have been games when the atmosphere has been excellent. Yes this was due to the quality of the game, but it was still in an all seater stadium

This letter has come out today and everyone has known now for over 10 years that by law you arent supposed to stand. I dont like it either, I stood on the Holgate for 15 years. Its just how it is. The problem with the letter was the last paragraph about making too much racket etc. That bit was misguided to say the least

You dont listen do you? People died you idiot, thats why it was brought in. The new look stadia havent been designed with standing in mind. Like it or not, weve got what weve got

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:25 am

I do fucking listen,but you don't seem to.Laws are there to be changed,amended,Im sure it wouldnt take much to change one of the stands into a standing section.

Shaun you got a lil brown stuff on your nose there,wipe it off.

by **boroPE** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:26 am

Lets not critisise the club Gibbo. :wink:

Im glad you never built my house then. It would take a major redesign. Its not going to happen, get over it

by **moody41** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:30 am

That last part is a joke surely? Telling fans to stop making a noise, ffs. And someone complained, what type of person would complain about noise at a football match. What the hell did they expect?

Agreed

by **moody41** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:35 am

Someone also needs to tell Sue that Block 53 is in the south-east corner as well. Attacking the North stand?

I can understand the concerns about the standing, since love it or hate it the rules regarding it our out of our control. But that last part, it's shocking in its ineptness. Telling fans of a club in a relegation battle to be quiet unless we score. I'd be tempted to write a letter back stating if I only cheered when we scored I'd might as well be a mute.

by **borochubster** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:44 am

This is a fake lads, I know Sue and she said no letters have been handed out by the club. If letters have been handed out she wants to know by whom ans she will follow it up. I would bet no letters have been handed out and somebody is playing the twat!!!!

Why dont you just fuck off you utter cunt.

It wouldnt take much to change a stand to...blah fucking blah. Do you think there are not groups out there who have been campaining hard for standing areas or is your head stuck that far up your fucking arse that you dont see anything unless it comes out in a letter regarding boro fans?

Its something that fans groups have been banging on about since 89, its not going to fucking change because of a letter handed out at the riverside is it?

*note: Gibbos head is always up his own arse that was a rhetorical question, see Gibbo thinking he would be fine in the West HAm home end, being able to 'handle himself' but never having had a fight in his life* :roll:

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:48 am

Im not on about the letter you prick.

by **Powlay** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:50 am

Comments like 'change the law' show that you have no fucking grip on reality or know fuck all about the subject....or both.

by **Gibbos_Empire** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 12:56 am

Why not?

by **Powlay** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:07 am

Why not what?

Why do i suggest you know fuck all about the subject, have no grip on reality or both?

Because many fans groups have been campaigning for years to have safe standing area's introduced in the English game. We are talking about nearly 20 years since the taylor report now, you make it sound like it would be a peice of piss having a law changed, and clearly its not that simple.

you on the other hand may be that simple.

by **cannontrodder** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 1:35 am

It's a disgrace. The wording of the letter in the last paragraph is nothing more than a rant. I'm sorry, but the club is losing it's way.

Thats what really fucked me off with it. The last paragraph is an invitation for the fans to fuck off and not be there. Which is essentially what theyre heading towards anyway with on the pitch performances.
