Erm,, i'm not sure how to start this thread or indeed how to finish it.
But basically i have a season ticket in the Trent Upper and decided that for today's game i fancied sitting somewhere with a bit more atmosphere than the morgue i'm used to. So i used one of those vouchers you get at the back of the pretty red booklet they give you with your season ticket and swapped my seat for somewhere up in the Bridgford Stand, over in the corner.
All was well, i had a great view of the pitch (as i do in the Trent End), there was a pretty young blonde in police uniform in front of me who i would have definatley shagged senseless given the opportunity, however this time I was surrounded by people daring to stand up and make some noise. The sheer thuggery of it all.
Cue, PC Plod and his mate with the expensive looking SLR Camera down in the lower tier wasting their time and our tax money filming those in the upper tier who had dared to commit the most despicable of crimes. I'm not talking about murder, i'm not talking about rape, i'm not talking about robbery, i'm talking about 'standing up'. Yes thats right, you read it right the first time, 'standing up'. And to make matters worse, these violent thugs were singing songs as well.
Now being a Trent End regular i'm not used to these tax wasting shenanigans as we are all so quiet and boring over there, but i came away from the match today genuinely shocked at the amount of money and resource wasted simply through watching, monitoring, and filming people who dared to stand up.
Now come on, this is f*****g ridiculous.
First of all i would like to apologise to all those people on this forum who have ranted against the officials in charge of crowd control at our ground over the past few years. I have read your opinions but dismissed them quite easily as people simply out to cause trouble. I was wrong. I'm sorry for that.
Just how can the idiots at NFFC and the local government justify this expenditure when the country is in such financial ruin through unemployment? Just what is the bloody point of pursueing people who choose to stand up inside the City Ground? What the bloody hell are the FA playing at by making clubs take these pathetic measures against the people who pay money out of their wages, week in, week out to support their team in the country's national sport?
I am genuinely shocked and angered by what i witnessed today at our football ground. As someone who works their bollocks off for minimal pay i cannot for the life of me understand why so much of the taxpayers money is being wasted by paying our Police force to film people 'standing up' at a football match. It's disgusting. Do they also film people at Rugby and Cricket matches like this as well?
Apologies for the above post, I wasn't sure where to put this on the forum but felt the need to rant after what i witnessed today. Lets hope that the FA come to their senses soon and realise they are slowly killing the atmosphere in our football grounds as the seasons tick by following the horrendous decision by Lord Justice Taylor to instigate All Seater Grounds in English Football.

I am well versed in what is and isn't deemed an offence - steer clear of the finger, v signs and w**ker signs and it's fine
