Turkish Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I know Christmas is a tense time and a crucial period for clubs with so many games packed so close together and Saturday is a huge game for SFC with a real relegation six pointer. However can I plead with you not to let your festive spirit overflow into the stands on Saturday and not shame the name of our great football club by Embarassing us with behaviour not befitting of being a true saints fan. This includes but is not limited to; The wearing of Santa hats The wearing of elf hats The wearing of reindeer antlers Last year our club was shamed by fans engaging in such behaviour and I hope that the 'kick fancy dress out' campaign TSW has run this year is effective in stamping out this sort of disgraceful behaviour. Remember just because you're at a football match it doesn't mean you can dress and act like a p*ick. KICK iT OUT.
The Kraken Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 And if you're even considering wearing a tinsel wig; don't do it. Just don't do it.
View From The Top Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 My Mrs asked my lad if he wanted a Santa hat for the game on Saturday. "I'm not a Muppet mum" was his reply. I was so proud.

And rightly so! Think you need to have a word with your Missus mate, I thought she would know better than to ask such a question!
Tractor_Saint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Does this include not wearing 'colours' then? Pah, I've got the hat already to go so there'll definitely be Christmas Spirit in the Kingsland.

fanimal Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 The 80% of saints fans who dont read this forum will not give a hoot either way, so 10% of them will wear Santa hats and why not? Worry about whats on the pitch in front of you, not what headgear someone has fgs! Bah humbug....
JackanorySFC Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Pretty certain the fair weather block 43 lot that are guaranteed to be on MOTD if a goals scored at that end, will be "father christmased up" all the way! I will just look down and shake my head surrounded by the well dressed masses at the back of block 2/ 3 (minus the rather scruffy and permanently boozed up group of 50 year olds that wear 70's replica shirts whatever the weather/ temperature).
solentstars Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Does this include not wearing 'colours' then? Pah, I've got the hat already to go so there'll definitely be Christmas Spirit in the Kingsland.don,t wear scarves or bring rattles either or they will think you are a football fan;) and you will have the poor boy fashion victims after you:hunt:
Joe Kirkup Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Giant foam hands are of course the exception

Worry about whats on the pitch in front of you, not what headgear someone has fgs! Bah humbug.... Jesus, 10% of 80%, off the top of my head that's 2400 (ish) potential customers for my start up business selling Santa hats.

Last year I saw a bloke in his 60s wearing an elf hat and there is usually a bloke in the northam who wear reindeer antlers. When I saw them last season I had never been so embarrassed to be a saints fan.

SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 If there isn't at least one person dressed as Father Christmas in the stands, I'm going to throw a mild hissy fit.
Appy Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 There was a Saints fan in the pub at QPR wearing reindeer antlers, it was the 17th of November ffs.
Turkish Posted 19 December, 2012 Author Posted 19 December, 2012 Why are you embarrassed by what someone else wears? The image it projects of my club and city Matthew. I know this sort of thing doesn't matter on computer games but in the real world it does to those who care about how our club is perceived
Thedelldays Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 this was turkish a few years back...he got a few slaps for it and now knows better it seems

I know this sort of thing doesn't matter on computer games but in the real world it does to those who care about how our club is perceived So you're saying if we looked at the crowds of any other Premiership club this weekend we'd not see any Santas hats? Suggest you go to Poundland as they've got a "Bah Humbug" hat you could wear.

I know this sort of thing doesn't matter on computer games but in the real world it does to those who care about how our club is perceived Why do you care? I think it is daft and wouldn't come to a football ground in fancy dress or Christmas clobber, but I'm not "embarrassed" because of the poor dress sense of someone else I don't know that supports the same eleven men running around a field kicking a ball.

solentstars Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 this was turkish a few years back...he got a few slaps for it and now knows better it seems ha ha that made me laugh
Turkish Posted 19 December, 2012 Author Posted 19 December, 2012 Hilarious how I'm being slated a being 'bah humbug' because I don't find it a lolathon to dress like a prat. What's so cool an funny about? Please explain. I must be missing the joke. I don't find micheal McIntyre funny either by the way.

I'm guessing, based on your normal style of posting and self confessed posting history, that this is a wind up / ironic and that in fact you really want to see as many of these things as possible. Sorry I can't help you myself as I wouldn't be seen dead in any of the above but you go for it.
jjsaint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Any club with Santa hat wearing supporters should be docked points FFS.
LGTL Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 It's as bad as the losers who walk in the pub dressed up expecting everyone to look around at them.

People having a laugh, and enjoying their day out, which they have spent (a reasonable amount) of their hard-earned cash on is embarrassing to the club? This thread is more embarrassing, some people need to get a sense of humour.
The9 Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I'm so scared of wearing the wrong thing I'm going to watch a conference match instead. Ironically it's in corporate so there's a dress code.
solentstars Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I am going dressed as Santa Clausplease please don,t do that you might make some of our poor fashion victims slit their wrists with behavior like that .;)and please think of the harm to our great city and football club ,you will be all over the media

This thread is more embarrassing, some people need to get a sense of humour. I must be missing how its 'having a laugh' or what the joke is about wearing a Santa hat or reindeer Antlers. Please explain.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I must be missing how its 'having a laugh' or what the joke is about wearing a Santa hat or reindeer Antlers. Please explain. Some people enjoy it. Personally, I wouldn't do it. But I really don't see what harm it is doing to anyone. It's christmas, and people like to celebrate by wearing silly things like Santa Hats or Reindeer ears. Again, I wouldn't be doing it, but I can't see how it can bother you so much. If people are enjoying it, and it's not hurting anyone - then what's the problem? Is this rooted to something deeper? Did Santa sneek into your room as a kid? Did you catch him with mummy one night?

Sorry. Despite your quite frankly repulsive suggestions that my failure to find 'comedy' hats funny is linked to pedophilia or tarnishing the name of my dead mother I'm still struggling to see the joke. Although I'm sure you're laughing at yourself for your pedophile joke or imagining Santa f*cking my mums ashes you sick, vulgar c*nt.
View From The Top Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I'm quite happy to see folk dressed like muppets as it is a clear sign not to engage them in any kind of conversation. I apply the same rule at work or in any social setting. No doubt they are the same sort of muppets who watch sh.ite like XFactor and want to talk about it on a Monday.
cellone Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Couldn't this have been tagged on to one of the other threads about the exact same thing you have already started, then you could say 'like I said ages ago' and stuff like that. It would be really cool.
hasper57saint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Alanh and I concur.Can't you see this is a wind-up? How many of you are going to confess to wearing your Mrs tights under your jeans just to keep your legs warm? I think a turnstile inspection will do the trick. DROP 'EM or else!
Wes Tender Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I'm more embarassed by thuggish behaviour in our fans rather than the innocent fun that some might derive from wearing what they like on matchdays. I'd much rather that people harmlessly looked like a prat, rather than behaving like one and disgracing the Club and City because they got their activities reported in the local and national media.
hasper57saint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 About a million years ago when I was a student at Southampton University we had our 'Rag day'. I sat outside one of the big stores just Above the Bargate and with a bucket by my side,a three foot cane in my hand with my fishingline down a drain I just waited for the question. Sure enough someone would come and ask me 'Caught anything yet?' I nodded and said 'Throw a couple of bob in the bucket please'. The penny dropped.Anyone seen wearing anything remotely like Christmas should donate to the 'Turkish Charity' immediately because he's 'caught you'.
fish fingers Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Any club with Santa hat wearing supporters should be docked points FFS. One point deducted for every tw4t in a hat.
SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 One point deducted for every tw4t in a hat. They'd be docked thousands.
SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 There was a Saints fan in the pub at QPR wearing reindeer antlers, it was the 17th of November ffs. Reindeers are for life, not just for Christmas. (Oh wait, that's dogs. Meh it applies to reindeers too.)
jawillwill Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I completely agree with Turkish on this one. People like me and him like to go to the game so that we can look at other men it is really shameful when you don't make an effort to look good. We aren't really into football but love the excitement of being surrounded by lots of men, all dressed smart and sexy in Stone Island, etc. It is also for this reason that you'll often see me and Turkish saying that women shouldn't be allowed to go to the football. It dilutes the view of lovely men for us.
lordswoodsaints Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I actually saw 2 blokes buying matching reindeer outfits the other day,I don't know them personally but I have seen them at football.......if I see them Saturday I might have to give them the red nose to match.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Well it's alright to be all PC and fashion minded but have you thought about just how many joker hat and santa suit workers you're putting out of a job. The economy of North Korea will probably collapse and it will all be your fault.
Winnersaint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Do the fat and ugly fans shame the club in the same way when they're seen on MOTD.
Halo Stickman Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Mistletoe in our belts and no trousers We’ll show that Sunderland lot how hard we are!.... oops, perhaps not
John Boy Saint Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 Just want to check with the Fashion Police: which of the following suits can I wear under my Burberry Trench Coat, Boss, Armani, Prada or Gucci. Ooops nearly forgot I have each in Navy, Grey, and Sable although would be reluctant to wear the latter if it's raining as the bottoms get grubby too easily......... And the gutters in the gents are not the best for splashback Thanks in advance.
dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2012 Posted 19 December, 2012 I played Golf last night. With 8 Santas, 2 Elves, a confused lad from Harrogate in a Santa mini skirt (could have shaved his legs FFS), A Company Director in full drag as Mrs Santa, a Snowman and Tigger. Oh, and of course, 5 Dancing Bears I (of course) went dressed as a Wise Man and handed out Gold Coins to everyone (The Cadbury's kind FFS) (Oh and yes you will be able to google a photo when the pics get published in the press down here next week) This Saturday we are going to the Pub dressed in our Santa Hats. We kinda enjoy doing this as it makes all the geeks wearing Armani look stupid.
