Safe standing at the Reebok?

People stand at games now anyway which has its dangers. The amount of times I've had brusing on my legs because of the seat infront and nothing to hold on to, the seats are just a trip hazard.

I bet you while you are sat there eating your prawn sarny playing on your BB the corner would be a hive of excitement and atmosphere, just how a football match should be watched.

1. All you stumpy gits can forget it, you're seeing nothing but the tops of heads. You'll miss 50% of all goals scored.

2. If you're tall you will continually be told to "fuck off and stand somewhere else" by the stumpy twats behind you. Eventually you will end up in the bogs, the only place you will feel safe.

3. You will go prematurely deaf. People will forever be shouting down your earhole.

4. On the rare occasion Bolton score some fat bastards at the back will see this as an opportunity to push everyone forward. You will get seriously injured, if not killed.

5. In icey weather like today the terrace will be a death trap. If Bolton score 3000 people will fall and break something. Many will never get up.

6. Don't take anything valuable, you will get robbed about three times a game. Even if you have nothing valuable, someone will still rifle through your y-fronts. And not in a good way.

That's where they use the safe standing areas we're discussing! Keep up Whittam!

I don't want to hurt the kid, a kid is just a kid after all. However, the parents who clearly know they're doing it and say naff all... Grrr! You can't say nowt either because the parents usually have a lower IQ than the kids and would just give you even more crap! GRRRRR!

What Hipster failed to mention was that this "fat goth" gave him his first (and only) sexual experience. So it wasn't all bad.
