Castilian 8 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Now, I'm no chicken but I'm reasonable fit, being a hillwalker and cyclist. I paid my cash and expected to sit at the game yesterday.Nope, I was forced to stand because everyone around me was standing. I was on my hind legs for three hours. At the end of the celebration my legs and back were a bit sore.However, people about thirty years younger than me, had wilted and started to sit. Consequently they didn't see the end of the game. Stupid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I therefore have to stand to see the game. So I'm not given the choice. The decision is made for me by someone else. Very selfish in my opinion.

McWeedy 28 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I expected this thread to be saying how great it was that everyone was standing!! Makes a much better atmosphere, half our support could do with the exercise anyways! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castilian 8 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Why don't we go the full hog. Let's get the seating and the cover taken away. Then we can stand in the pissing rain and watch the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats you being selfish and not letting the person infront do what they want. I just think if you pay money for a ticket then your entitled to sit or stand.

PaulRFC1 115 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 FUCK OFF !Standing at the game yesterday was outstanding, the full 90 mins standing alongside fellow bears and belting out every tune made that the best game I have ever been too !I wish there was standing at stadiums because it is so much better than sitting and it improves the atmosphere so much.

David1872 21 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Not if you are obstructing someone's view.Surely when you purchased a cup final ticket against Celtic you didnt expect to turn up and everyone is sitting down strapped to their seat not being allowed to stand. Tbh you should be grateful that you were at the game and not moan about having to stand and watch your team dominate their rivals from start to finish.
