Re: Next Generation of Fans
Just read all the matchday discomforts and had a little chuckle to myself. I'm going back to the late 60s and me and my mate would try a game on Merseyside say once an year and the first time we went to Anfield we went on the Kop. Come kick-off we were shoulder to shoulder and moving all over the place, then when half time came we wanted to relieve ourselves and I said to this bloke next to me, "where do we go" he then pointed to the floor and said "dee la". There was urine all over the place passing your shoes. It was called an experience ha.

Yobbish behaviour is not limited to the young either. Just walk the streets almost anywhere in the UK and the amount of bad language and behaviour is increasing without respect to women or regard for children within earshot.

It is a result of welcoming that children will become included in the supporter base. Anyone standing by a youngster and "welcoming" them by continuously using foul and abusive language at a match or otherwise is my opinion brain dead and near feral.

I very much agree with the overall sentiments of your post but the singling out of Foxy and appearing to directly associate him with the thoughtless. mindless and violent scum minority that deign to call themselves fans of our club is OTT. I don't always agree with his posts, or indeed those many other RP posters with a manifestly lower level of wit, humanity and IQ than Foxy, but all have a right to air their views on this forum. You of all people should know better and I would like to think that on reflection you are magnanimous enough to apologise for mixing up an opinion you did not like about masks with giving the next generation an improved starting experience. My view is that you could have made your point without sticking the boot in. If you think otherwise then I question your judgement as there are a heck of a lot more worthy candidates for naming and shaming. For clarity, I stress I don't know Foxy from Adam. Leaving his forthright and contrarian his opinions on one side, I have never seen any signs of him threaA minority have always caused problems both in the town and the neighbouring areas.

Come on let’s be fair his put downs are much more skilled than the standard go away and multiply. |

Those who threaten with violence and use bad language thankfully do not generally visit this site. They are far too thick and lack the ability to understand the nuances of reasoned debate |

Re: Next Generation of Fans
It is a distinct possibility IMHO. Drakeford will delight in taking the opposite view to the UK government and we have already heard that Scotland will require them. If it happens it will be interesting to see how they can be properly monitored on entry?

Re: Next Generation of Fans
i thought George Borrow came across as a bit of a bigot with a considerable amount of arrogance, he was clearly not very taken with Wrexham although in them days there were many brewries and tanneries and the weekly weekend onslaught of gangs of miners from the various districts descending on the town.

Personally, i would still wear one in these areas if in a large crowd as for all i know i could have the virus unknowingly and wearing a mask will lessen the probability i would breathe it all over everyone! I know they aren't foolproof, no one has ever said they are. As for a vaccine passport to get into the game or venues, i really don't see the point. As it is now knowledge a person who has been double jabbed can still contract the virus AND still transmit it, what difference does a scannable code make to whether a person should be allowed in or not? That should be down to individual choices and weighing of risks etc. If you don't feel safe going, don't go. No judgement. Same as those who choose to wear masks at any point during their visit should receive no judgement too. |
