School Kids in the West Stand

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

We are season ticket holders in the west stand, at the away side of the away's team dug out.
During yesterday's match I called one of the Notts County players a dirty tw*t, after a foul on a Millers player.
After my outburst a woman from 2 rows in front of me came & said, "Do you mind not swearing, because she was a teacher & had brought a load of school children to the match, to which they were on 3 rows with other teachers.
So I said that actually she should be in the family stand, where the children are normally allocated seating, she said they found that they had been given tickets for the wrong section of the ground.
So I refrained from swearing & actually got the kids to shout, " Come on you reds ", when I shouted to them.
The teacher thanked me at the end of the match.
But to me the club should have allocated the tickets to the family stand, knowing there was school children in the party. !

Unbelievable some people, I know we can all swear but not in front of kids.
Yes they should have been in family stand but they wasn't, ' dirty get' would have been fine.
And you wonder why some kids don't show respect today.

I sit in the family stand and hear swearing, gesturing and general abuse most of the game!

doesnt matter where the tickets are its the people they are surrounded by and sorry to say that we have a fair few number of wasters who support us and probably talk like that infront of their own kids.

Can't stop it in all walks of life unfortunately, they hear it everywhere.

My youngest, 6 & nearly 8, know what swear words are, know they're naughty and know what will happen if they ever repeat them.

My lad, we even have our own version of Millers songs with swapped swear words.

I hate swearing in front of children, but I will hold my hands up and say I've done it in the heat of the moment. In the cauldron of emotion of a football ground it's forgivable, and your actions were admirable.

Got to take into account all these kids could be the next generation of millers. No need for swearing.
