This Charming Man Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 I take it you wear a flat cap, a rosette, and wave a rattle at games? The traditional uniform of a football supporter. Times change, people can do what they want. People could also do what they wanted in the 70's and 80's, yet nobody wore fancy dress costumes then. You say times change, can you please explain how over time the wearing of fancy dress at the football has become acceptable...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 There is a thread on the Englandfans forum ironically enough started by a Fulham fan (he was put in his place, don't worry) having a pop at our ground and support. Most people on there stuck up for us saying they've always been impressed with the atmosphere at SMS when they've been and that our pitch invasion and flare the other day looked really good. Though inevitably it did lead on to people asking why we have such a high percentage of middle aged men in shirts, face paints and fancy dress. I tried to explain that we're just a zany bunch down here having a laugh but that didn't appease them. Though you cretins do realise you're making us look ridiculous? Nobody is impressed, they think you're weird. No other club in the land has as many oddballs following them as us. I despair, I really do... Look at Man Utd's end last night, not one balloon in sight, not one silly hat, barely a replica shirt. Just 3,000 blokes watching their team without feeling the need to make an utter c*nt of them self. But they weren't at a party, they were at a wake. And it's "**** of their selves".

Frank's cousin Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 People could also do what they wanted in the 70's and 80's, yet nobody wore fancy dress costumes then. You say times change, can you please explain how over time the wearing of fancy dress at the football has become acceptable...? Its only you and few others stuck in an 80s/90s time warp that football should be 'blokes out on the lash' that are concerned about this and saying its not acceptable - who the flying feck gave the 'blokes on the lash' the right to dictate what is and is not acceptable when fans pay their money and go to a game? Fans that probably only feel they can go because the atmosphere of intimidation and blokes on the lash was not somehing you would take your kids to back then.... and I doubt it says anything in the rules of Association Football that says it can only be watched by ****ed up blokes, desperate to impress the opposition fans with how 'proper' fans they are - and how you should be so worried about (because of whatever insecurities some fans migh have) about what anyone else thinks... Things evolve. Its only those that felt they 'owned' football after creating the 'blokes on the lash, firm, ****** in the 70s and 80s' that are not happy about football returning to its REAL roots, that of dads with kids and not affraid to show support for their side, rather than focusing on hate for the opposition - yes kids and some attention seekers want to dress up these days - not done back then as no one had disposable income to 'waste' on a clown suit or a stupid hat - but to suggest that football belongs to any one group of fans or that it should be supported in a particular is the frickin atttitude of a feckin Nazis.

moonraker Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 Why do people get dressed up? Because they obviously enjoy it and I assume it makes them feel good and part of something. I personally don’t get it, but in a free society I have no right to question there actions, if it makes them happy that’s all that matters. As unusual Dune and his fellow Stazi members miss the irony of their dictatorial musings, he claims to understand history and to be an English patriot, well Dune the English have been dressing up for high days and holidays since time immemorial and if a saints promotion party is not a high day then I don’t know what is.

Constructive responses please or if you prefer you can just respond with the normal 'get a life' or 'your a cock' type replies if it makes you feel better about yourselves. 1. What amusement do folk get from dressing up? Don't know 2. Should fans who pay their cash be allowed to dress as they please and support as they see fit? YES, we live in a free country 3. Why do some fans have an issue with it? They seem to be obsessed or worried about how Saints are perceived as a club (or how it reflects on them), some stating that football should be the reserve of those 'blokes on the lash' 4. Why are they so obsessed? Dont know, insecurities, personal issues with clowns feck knows, but its obviously quite sad 5. Why the constant need to bring it up and start endless threads/troll about it? Dont know, but obviously enjoying trying to wind up and find it hilarious 6. But is dressing up not kind of the same thing as trolling, you know, seeking attention, hiding behind a 'mask/avatar'? Yep, but they dont get the irony 7. Are they trying to be cool, like the 'lads' that wanted the back seat of the bus at school? Interesting that this was mentioned, very true, and like those said back bus sitters/wetters usually left with 2 'O' levels in woodwork between them... 8.

People should wear what they want to. Telling them otherwise is out of order. I have no wish to don a wig and facepaint, but I'm increasingly tempted by threads like this.

stev2001 Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 1. What amusement do folk get from dressing up? Don't know 2. Should fans who pay their cash be allowed to dress as they please and support as they see fit? YES, we live in a free country 3. Why do some fans have an issue with it? They seem to be obsessed or worried about how Saints are perceived as a club (or how it reflects on them), some stating that football should be the reserve of those 'blokes on the lash' 4. Why are they so obsessed? Dont know, insecurities, personal issues with clowns feck knows, but its obviously quite sad 5. Why the constant need to bring it up and start endless threads/troll about it? Dont know, but obviously enjoying trying to wind up and find it hilarious 6. But is dressing up not kind of the same thing as trolling, you know, seeking attention, hiding behind a 'mask/avatar'? Yep, but they dont get the irony 7. Are they trying to be cool, like the 'lads' that wanted the back seat of the bus at school? Interesting that this was mentioned, very true, and like those said back bus sitters/wetters usually left with 2 'O' levels in woodwork between them... 8. So this thread and topic belongs in the Muppet show really doesn't it? Would be my guess, yes Great reply, cheers.....I'm not used to them.

This is what you are not getting my beardy wierdy ol' chum. We are trying to understand them, we are trying to find out why this is so much fun. Maybe we are missing out on something? Maybe when we see the light we can convert to fancydressism too, as yet though no one has managed to explain why this is such a great laugh that we are told it is.

St_Tel49 Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 Its only you and few others stuck in an 80s/90s time warp that football should be 'blokes out on the lash' that are concerned about this and saying its not acceptable - who the flying feck gave the 'blokes on the lash' the right to dictate what is and is not acceptable when fans pay their money and go to a game? Fans that probably only feel they can go because the atmosphere of intimidation and blokes on the lash was not somehing you would take your kids to back then.... and I doubt it says anything in the rules of Association Football that says it can only be watched by ****ed up blokes, desperate to impress the opposition fans with how 'proper' fans they are - and how you should be so worried about (because of whatever insecurities some fans migh have) about what anyone else thinks... Things evolve. Its only those that felt they 'owned' football after creating the 'blokes on the lash, firm, ****** in the 70s and 80s' that are not happy about football returning to its REAL roots, that of dads with kids and not affraid to show support for their side, rather than focusing on hate for the opposition - yes kids and some attention seekers want to dress up these days - not done back then as no one had disposable income to 'waste' on a clown suit or a stupid hat - but to suggest that football belongs to any one group of fans or that it should be supported in a particular is the frickin atttitude of a feckin Nazis. You may have got to the nub of it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 1 May, 2012 Share Posted 1 May, 2012 You may have got to the nub of it there. So as we don't understand the logic of grown men wearing face paints and jester hats to football matches, we're comparable to a group of people that committed some of the worst atrocities mankind has ever witnessed. Riiiight... You do understand that coming to an assumption like that makes you mentally unstable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
