Mansfield "Fans"

Postby Number63 » Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:12 am

There were some filthy foul mouthed
People from Mansfield at the Newport game.

As an example one person in the end behind the goal in a black away top,grey hair male aged 55-65 started the afternoon with
Black Bxxxx this
Black Bxxxx that

This racial abuse  wasn't at anyone but was part of his loud conversation with his "pal"

Once in the swing of the game it was

Fxxx, Bxxxx Cxxx.
Useless Cxxx
Fxxxxxx waste of fxxxxxx space
Cxxx this
Cxxx that

The current owners have transformed this into a family club and I support that.

I felt embarrassed to be a supporter with young children at the game.

I will be asking the club to explore at the next away matches to identify what they can do with the aim of bringing the family feel to away matches.

In the mean time I'm not taking my children to future away games

It’s been like it for a long time mate and it’s the same yobs wearing the same sort of brands, bevied up. Get them on their own and sober and they’re as quiet as mice. It’s embarrassing going away and getting that way at home recently. There’s better sports for children.

Whereas it's not an answer to the points raised - it's a shame there isn't much that can be done to have a "family section" away also.

Given the club would presumably sell the tickets on a first come first serve basis I guess it would also be challenging to manage

Why leave it to the club to deal with. Was there anything stopping you from approaching the numerous amount of uniformed and visible Police officers standing 30 yards away between the two stands? Or the three large and intimidating looking security staff who were positioned right next to us in the taped off seats behind the goal, only 5 yards away?

Can’t imagine it being that difficult, Lincoln sell tickets for the “singing section” for each away game.

I sat in IG lower B block on Tuesday evening and several young mums with children were sat in front of me. Unfortunately, a few rows back from me, several fans thought they were at a swearing festival. I tried a friendly word but it fell on deaf ears. It is not something I would have wanted young children to be hearing. Thoughtless it was, acceptable it wasn’t. The stewards looked on unconcerned. Sad really.

Whereas I have no issues with swearing (can't say I'm an angel myself) playing devil's advocate I have an equal love of cricket and rugby and you don't get the same language or behaviour there.

Maybe the club could work to promote where the family area will be should the QLE be closed

If you think that’s acceptable in front of little children then you must need help!

Swearing at a football match is not a crime. I’m sure everyone has at one point or another.

All it takes is a bit of what is known as ‘parenting’. Can remember my Dad saying to me before my first game along the lines of ‘you’re going to hear a lot of language today, probably from me as well, that you’re not to repeat. Do you understand?’

Not really about the swearing though is it... its the other thing, the racism.

Don't post about racism on here mate, Stags fans on this forum like to turn it back on you and call you a coward for not confronting the person.

I once confronted somebody as I always do and would if I hear racism, I then got idiots posting on here slating me. It's always the same old usernames who do it toom

Swearing is on thing. Racism is quite another. I was at an England game about 10 years ago at Wembley v USA and Kelly Rowlands sang (and massacred) the national anthem of the USA.
Some big tool in front of me thought he was tough calling her a black c word. He was Bertie Big raspberrys but went quiet when I told him to repeat it and if he did I’d throw him off the balcony.

They mostly are all wind and piss.

If you don’t feel comfortable challenging and I get that, then escalate it to the appropriate security or police. If you’re not part of the solution.....

Of course, which is why I said swearing, not racism.
