Turkish Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackanorySFC Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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).

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?

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.

View From The Top Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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.

Wes Tender Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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 Share 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'.

jawillwill Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
