St.Ricky Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The loudest voice heard at the ground just now belongs to a female fan in the West Stand. Loud - Extremely. Vocabulary - Limited to a stream of swear words usually preceded by or followed by Ref, Linesman or just You!. I love the fact that she is there at every game. I love the fact that she is making a lot of noise. Great! But Clean up the language please. The kids can hear it and you can express yourself to your hearts content - and that of the rest of us.

Kemp Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Catering is outsourced, it would take one person to clean the toilets post-match. At 20 quid per head I think we can afford to turn the lights on for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Am I missing the point that the club said the West Stand would be segregated for Cup matches? Surely if they aren't going to open the North Stand for the Airdrie game and given the history of hassle with Airdrie then they must be in the West Stand?

beyond our ken Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 14 hours ago, woiiftm said: Club please take note. This was not a pleasant experience and I am not referring to our performance. Responses were made in reaction to foul language to no avail. Stewards on hearing foul language only looked in general direction, not able to identify specific culprits and not even moving from seat to signify it had been heard. We will lose children and their parents from games as parents will not tolerate this. Aggressive tone and manner of support made it very uncomfortable, particularly in West section, where we were well outnumbered and isolated amongst them as a result of free for all seating adopted by them. This may be ok against teams like Spartans whose fans number in 10's, here we are talking over 100 vociferous, reactive fans. My daughter even commented on how bad it was and that it felt threatening. No more mixing of fans, use North stand or we'll lose kids and parents What and Who matters most to this Club ? I've also put this on official site in hope that someone with clout might see it and ensure there is no repetition. well that is a sizeable minority of the saints support for you. Some will say it is not representative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbarsaints Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The last place any away fans should be is the family stand. Immaterial to whatever team it is you'll always have a few gobby drunken idiots in amongst them. Put them in away stand that's why we have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came across them once I'm sure, when taking in a cup game a couple of seasons ago. Didn't appear to be anything but sober. But the language was very intoxicating and aim mostly at our own players.

Surely it isn't much to ask that fans can reign-in their swearing tourettes tendencies? I am not demanding all fans should sit on their hands, be stone cold sober and politely mutter 'play up Saints!'... but is there any need for constant foul language where your vocabulary cannot go more than five seconds without screaming 'fcuk', 'cnut' or associated un-necessary shoite? At Tannadice last season, when they were allowed to score after a kung-fu assault on Mackenzie, I moved at half-time, to get away from three drunk St Mirren fans who piled into seats near me at a minute to kick-off, and with zero regard to those around them - especially kids and women, began a forty-five minute tirade of vile abuse. An embarrassment. One of them is a well-kent face at home games. An utter, utter embarrasment. This will sadly not be unique to St Mirren, but some folk these days go to games tanked up on drink and/or drugs, and frankly, do not give a flying fcuk about anyone except themselves. Probably the types who rank the success of a night out purely on how much alcohol they managed to throw down their throat, then talk about it for days with mates as some sort of badge of honour - how rat-arsed and shit-faced they managed to get.

ged62 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'm sure when the children all go to school they maybe just maybe hear a wee bad word or 2. ffs oops it's a football game. Only saying. Seriously, get in touch with the club if you are happy. The woman that does all the shouting & swearing has had a ST in every section of the west stand I think but keeps getting moved through complaints [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about a family section here. There is no point in trying to explain this as some people get so blootered they have no respect for anyone, never mind children who many parents choose this are to minimise this sort of behaviour.

faraway saint Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 The recent posts on the behaviour of supporters seems to go over the heads of some that it's not simply the drinking, drug taking and constant foul mouthed language, it's that there's certain places that this sort of behaviour should not be seen as acceptable. There is an argument that it's not acceptable anywhere but I'm trying to be realistic. Public transport and family sections of football grounds are certainly not area this behaviour should be tolerated. I took my 10 year old granddaughter to last seasons game at Dundee United...............she's decided she's not for going back. Yeah, she knows swearing goes on but not as a constant tirade. There's been some defence that the "young team" are great for atmosphere but could just as easily be putting the future "young team" and some "auld duffers" from attending in future.

Anyway I do agree with the original post that the FAMILY STAND should be what it was set up for. If it was that bad where were the stewards?

This "were you at the game" is, yawn, totally irrelevant in this case. You are 100% correct that the club/stewards should be taking action and people who WERE at he game should, indeed complain.
