I think it's safe to say this thread is not this forum's best ever.

I think this thread has highlighted the massive difference in people opinions of what is acceptable behaviour and what isnt at a football match.

OK much rhetoric and shallow arguments in this becoming increasingly tedious thread, but do not forget that in the FA you are dealing with an intransigent dinosaur with piles and any report of naughty behaviour, and standing in yellow areas is such, is stored away in its elephantine memory and overzealous punishment, usually affecting all for the actions of a few, is dished out.
(PS If anyone should know the pudding head(s) letting off flares in the North Terrace please ask him/her politely to refrain as we have been warned by the FA about such stupid behaviour.)

And how about the other 51 weeks of the year that the UK forces kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people of all ages in the middle east? Do you think of them while spouting your high horse humanist views? I personally feel ashamed of this hypocritcal country that we live in where killing innocent people in the name of greed is fair game yet retaliation is not. I thought this was a forum about Bristol Rovers not a forum for airing horse s*** left wing viewpoints I was responding to mention of terrorism, i just dont like the idea of mass killings of innocent people, if that makes me leftie then so be it, there is nothimg wrong with assessing the bigger picture, it gives more balance.

Aren't most of those things you have mentioned not the responsibility of the FA but whoever ever holds the stadium safety certificate? And if conditions are continually breached then people should report it to the licensing officer? So nothing will happen as most people in the world today have time to bitch & gripe about issues but wouldn't actually go to the trouble of making a compliant because that should be the responsibility of someone else.

So nothing will happen as most people in the world today have time to bitch & gripe about issues but wouldn't actually go to the trouble of making a compliant because that should be the responsibility of someone else. The safety certificate issuing authority is mostly interested in the stadium's 'hardware' and procedures. Crowd behaviour is also of interest to the FA as recent examples of chanting, flares, missile throwing, banners etc would not be attracting its interest (and fines.) If the stewards do not report things, then the police could (especially if they are called to an incident) and even the ref has a responsibility to report crowd issues. At, I believe, most games is an FA observer, in the early days you could spot them easily as the one in a blazer or clean Barbour walking around the terraces, I've spoken to them at Yeovile and at the old Swansea ground. Irrespective of who observes crowd behaviour, if persistent infringement takes place then action can be taken against the club, the bing bong man makes that clear in his request to keep aisles clear!

I bought a match ticket in the pub,someone was sat in MY seat ( I wasnt distressed ) I went and sat with friends in the front row for 2 or 3 minutes,it was rubbish. Looking back I saw an empty block of seats right at the back of the stand on the left as you looked at the pitch,we made our way up there and stood all through the game,no one was upset and no stewards came anywhere near that part of the stand,dont blame them either because Sherpa Tensing wouldnt like the walk up there. I think that empty section, up at the top left, may have been the 231 of the unsold allocation. In addition, it does seem that some clubs don't sell all the away seats, and keep some back in case of overspill, or moving fans from other parts of the ground. I've noticed now and again (places like Cheltenham) where there are some spare seats, and they give out the away attendance, and you know it was a sell out, but the figure is below the advertised away capacity. It makes me wonder if it's some sort of contingency, in case away fans bought tickets in the home areas. I was Row L and 3 seats to my right were empty, 6 or 7 together in the row behind were empty, and my 2 friends, to my left, went up top left after half time. They had either gone up to find somewhere to stand, or were fed up with the moaning old git behind - who constantly slagged off the players, in particular Chris Lines, who he kept shouting at to retire - 'cus I had definitely showered and changed my underpants beforehand, and hadn't had a curry the night before.

Could've sworn people on here said how your fans impressed all over the country? Just stick to murdering Palestinians mate. Totally uncalled for and out of order.

But what you actually said was that retaliation was acceptable. No not 'acceptable' at all, understandable yes but never acceptable, history is littered with killings, much of it based on retribution, its logical to think that if you are going to harm a country and its people then they will want revenge, its not right on either side of the fence. BS5 and County Ground can hurl all the insults they like, water off a ducks back, it doesn't change the fact that violence is a never ending cycle and always will be, plenty of facts and proof out there. I'm done on this conversation anyway, it doesn't change a thing, like someone else said, its got f#ck all to do with the Gas.
