On the original subject, I must admit to being extremely annoyed that people were clapping/laughing/shouting over the minute's silence.

However, rather than having to give separate instructions for each step, how about just reversing the order?

i.e. Hold the minutes silence, with the bugler starting the last post after the minute is up (the ref gives him a silent signal to start, instead of blowing his whistle).

On the other stuff, I'm glad that the club is rooting out the idiots. Hopefully they'll ban them for more than a couple of matches.

However, I also sit in the South Stand (although further down) with my daughter and several friends.

I have *never* heard any racist chanting (don't even know what "the Watene chant" is), and never had any problem with the kids at the back, other than being privately annoyed about the drunken scrotes that are clearly too young to be allowed near alcohol.

Well done that man.

fans.

He's very keen on an element of self-policing (we were talking about the "old days" at CP, when they'd have got a "clip round t'earhole"!) to complement the clubs efforts. To some extent, it's a question of where to draw the line - we want to keep the atmosphere, but stop it getting so unpleasant that it puts people off. (having said that, we did agree that perhaps people who object to the noise might be better off in another stand...).

So..those of you who are normally in that area, please help the club out, either by having words with the offenders or passing on information/descriptions to the club.

Incidentally, on a similar subject, the guy from the Saints game who punched the steward has apparently been identified, and things are happening on that front.

Never heard racist chanting or the Watene one. One or two idiots blurting out something offensive at a game does not constitute a chant. There has been more damage done by folk stirring up that non-event than the moron who might have actually said it could ever wish to have done.

Underlined pretty much as I said earlier in the thread. As for the rest....oh for the days when you could clip someone round the ear!

think i am going to be moving to the side of the south for the next home game although i enjoy the singing and "chanting" i dont not want to be branded as a chav. there are some genuine supporters back there but seem to bring along 'friends' who couldnt give one about the game and seems to cause the bother. like at bradford away this season, havent seen that group of 'fans' recently, maybe the club have banned these?
