70's Mike Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I wonder what age those who are making these judgements about who wears what to Football are. Those in their 40s+ probably do it without a care because they could not do it when they were teenagers. I am late 40s when I was 13 - 14 -15 travelling to Southampton to watch Saints from Basingstoke you had to be on your toes, simply because there was always a chance that opposing fans were on the train or along the route and any sniff that you supported the other team had you in line for a kicking. You never wore a replica shirt, you never saw the volume of families, or females that you see now. You went to football because you wanted to and took your chances. Personally I could not give a chuffin monkeys if someone thinks I look a plum because I wear a replica shirt, a Saints jacket, and (wait for it) when it's hot my Saints crested 3/4 length shorts. How many of those passing judgement have been chased down the street as a nipper by grown men who just want to batter anyone, seen Darts whistling inches past your head, had to hide in the toilets on trains, not to dodge the ticket inspector but hooligans cruising through the train looking for someone to batter simply because they support the opposing team. It's nice to know when you walk through a town home or away with your shirt on these days you are likely to get into good banter with opposing fans rather than a punch up!

nathan Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I would hazard a guess that some of those moaning at fancy dress, footy shirts etc are the same ones who look like a joke and dress the same as the guy who does the away ground thing on soccer am. By that I mean stone island, aquascutum, burberry, fred perry, lacoste etc... u look much funnier than any fan in fancy dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemen, Policemen and even Hitler I believe... Must be a Midlands, thing like Batman and Robin and all his other exotically dressed Villa mob that invaded the Dell pitch in the 90s as we were stuffing 'em 4-1 while trying to stay up. But I must say, I've been more impressed with all the 50 year old shaven-headed lumps that have been prevalent at many away games recently. Old ruffians reliving those fine days out of the 78 promotion run no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blandford saint Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Have you thought that he might be wearing it because it's lucky? We probably won the first time he wore it and now can't bear to leave it off. After I wore my very smart leopard skin design hat to the first match we won at home after our mid-season dodgy spell, I have been compelled to wear it by, with some pressure from the regulars in my part of the Kingsland! Wore it away at Palace too and it did the job. Also have lucky jeans, which, so far, are doing the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was drinking with that Hitler before that game in the Pride of Paddington, it was the last game of the season, and it was a tradition to go to games in fancy dress. Hitler was a nice chap!!

John Boy Saint Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Would you buy a lump of dogsh*t if it had an SFC badge stuck on it? If you were selling it I would, just to give you the personal satisfaction of being able to look down your nose at me. You must have a scoreboard hanging up in your kitchen with the number of threads where you have had a reaction, and colour in each square diligently before you can go to bed with different coloured hi-lighter pens.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 Jesus Christ! For a moment I thought dune was back. At the Coventry game last season there was a meathead arguing (more having a go) at this teenage steward who wouldn't let him back into the ground after the final whistle. The guy already looked like a p!ssed idiot but just to confirm it, he was wearing a tinsel read and white wig. Moral of the story, if you want to give it the big one and bully teenagers, don't wear a tinsel wig while doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September Saint Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 I was sat in the side stand and in front of me was a circa 35 - 40 year old bloke (with stubble) dressed with red and white tinsel hair, draped in a flag, with a saints shirt and god knows what else.

red&white56 Posted 26 November, 2012 Share Posted 26 November, 2012 (edited) I am on the same page as Johnny Boy. I lived in the midlands so supporting Saints was always away games - you wore no colours, no scarf, no badges and kept your mouth shut unless you were looking for trouble. So being able to express yourself at today's games is fantastic - and if some want to dress up so be it. I wear a replica shirt and love it!
