I am all for broadening the demographic at BP. However since I first went with my Grandad in the seventies (and I’m sure before that as well) foul language has been used at the football. Many of the crowd are not refined. They call a spade a flipping shovel. Many of the best Grimsby songs include profanity. All of the best one liners I’ve heard coming from the Pontoon contain four letter words.
The first time I took my daughters to a match (seven and eight years old) we sat behind the Pontoon goal, there was ribald language and singing all around. Afterwards I asked them if they had enjoyed the match day experience and the youngest said she wasn’t worried by any of it because we were all on the same side and it made her feel like she was part of something. That’s the difference between the professionally offended like fil and the real fan. We might not go to work and call the Welsh sheep shaggers but on the terraces it’s ok.

I take my 7 year old who just giggled when he first heard the songs with swear words, But he’s been brought up well enough to understand they stay in the stadium. I would personally hate to see the banter between fans disappear, best song from Tuesday night belting out ‘you know who you are, you know who you are, sheep xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx you know who you are’ 😂
I think if you are easily offended then maybe the main stand family would be the best option.

Funny how the team are doing well, the owners have made a good start and a great impression so far, so all of a sudden up pops "Felipe" to conjure something up to beat them with.
Starts out as a moan about some kids swearing but soon turns into "the club/owners should be doing something this.....why havent they done something.....this doesnt fit in with the family club they say they want to be....if they dont sort it they're hypocrites...blah blah blah"
I'm so glad JF and his hangers-on are no longer part of our club. Some of them still linger around like a bad smell, but hopefully they'll realise how embarrassing they are and disappear eventually.

You are genuinely suggesting that I’m either lying or exaggerating? 😂😂 Crikey
Why the sudden concern?
Well, first of all I’ve never actually sat in that area before, so haven’t heard these kids before.
Secondly, with attendances up, I’d like to see it stay that way. I wouldn’t want some of our new found fans deciding to stay away because a group of people are ruining their Matchday experience with these foul and abusive outbursts
Nothing more and nothing less
I do doubt your report and your concern on this Phil. What you’ve said is that you’ve sat in other parts of the ground and not heard swearing? You must have ear plugs in. Or do you think it’s acceptable for adults to swear but not kids? What was the previous management’s attitude on this? Did they not care?

Was a bit shocked on Tuesday
Young children shouting expletives at Wrexham fans. Shocking language coming from them, and they could only be school year 6 - 8 kids. Had their parents sitting near them too. I felt like I was sitting near the cast of Shameless
Needs sorting out. In my opinion if there kids heard to be swearing like that, then they need kicking out and their parents should be sent with them too.
People coming to football matches do not want to hear anyone shouting out words like illegitimate and girl private and sheep shagger etc. Let alone small children.
And how do you feel about the new board, the squad, the atmosphere, the food, the fanzone…

I used to swear as a kid, my mam used to stick a bar of coal tar soap in my mouth whenever I did, soon learned my lesson. Funnily enough even now my parents have passed away, I carry on buying Wrights coal tar soap.
Grimsby is rough as a badgers bottom in some places, like a lot of poverty stricken Towns, with not much opportunity now in life here. Does it matter what walk of life kids come from? They will most likely mix with other children, whose parents swear at them, then those children think it's alright for them to do so also. My single parent next door neighbour with two kids from different blokes is always swearing at her kids, it really does annoy me to hear it loud through the walls, part of it is upbringing, some parents like her, who have never worked EVER in their whole life don't deserve children and should be sterilised at birth.
