As much as I enjoyed the game yesterday, it was spoilt somewhat by a group of unsupervised kids throwing chips and chasing each other around the Golf Road end during the first half. At one point, one of them hit his head on a barrier. How would we stand legally if he'd seriously hurt himself? Shouldn't we require supporters under 16s to be supervised by an adult?
-
How old were they because it sounds quite harsh to say 14 and 15 year-olds cannot attend unaccompanied.

A lot of my friends are under-16 but weren't involved in what you are talking about so what about them?
-
I started going to Alty as an eleven year old on my own. Stupidity from.some should not reflect on all.
Is this something the Stewards could diplomatically resolve with a stern word in the ring leaders ear?

Kids will be kids, often see them fighting. I find it a distraction also, when I am trying to concentrate on the game and what is going on the pitch so know where you are coming from. If you say anything to them, like concentrate on the match, you are considered a miserable adult.
Agree is can be annoying sometimes, and their parents are never close by, or bother putting a stop to it.

That's because there Parents drop them of at the ground then sod off for a couple of hours put them with the Chester fans next home game they will soon start behaving.

What a great attitude to have towards the next generation of supporters

Don't mean to sound rude but is it not possible to stand somewhere else?

I am all for welcoming the next generation of supporters however I have been a supporter of this club for 35 years and have stood in the same area for almost all of that time I come to the game to watch the football without having to take cover for stray chips flying found the golf road remember a few seasons ago when the teenagers turned up smoking weed drinking and picking fights with away fans no doubt if we are successful this season these idiots will turn up again for a one of game to cause trouble I am going over old ground here but yes of course I welcome the new generation but if you cannot behave then dont bother.

Would you pop their football if it came in your garden :D

I started attending Alty matches regularly when I was about 10. I came on my own or with a couple of pals. I don't think that I ever behaved in a way that annoyed others around me, but maybe, a times, I did. I'm now in my 50's and have a season ticket; I attend with my son who is in his early teens. While sometimes the behaviour of our younger supporters can be rather irksome, we should be pleased that they want to come to watch Alty rather than support a Poem team. If ever I've felt the need to say something to our younger supporters (very rarely), I've done so and had a positive response.
If we're looking to quash inappropriate behaviour, we should maybe have a word with the one or two (adult) supporters among our cohort who insist on using the most offensive language to remonstrate with the referee, or oppo. For many, their behaviour will be far more of an irritant, yet we seem to consider that just a normal part of the match day experience.

I'm pretty certain from the documentary that our management team swear . So that's the management and kids gone . Who's next

My language can be terrible at football matches. I am a very poor example to myself.

It's a football match you are going to hear some industrial language. I'd say however considerably less and certainly not threatening stuff like at many other places. 95% of the time the ground is safe and welcoming to all.

Ditto.

Sat in the stand on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the game. Yes there were youngsters running around ( a little irritating yes) but they were just being youngsters. No more irritating that people taking their seats way after the second half had started. Probably due to the queues at the bar! There were two people behind me constantly talking about inheritance tax which also was irritating. I would welcome a talk on the subject but not between 3pm and 5pm on a Saturday afternoon! SBL

as we prioritise banning lists the people discussing tax during the game are at the top of the list please

One of my bugbears at matches is people chatting and taking no interest in the game. Each to their own though. The beauty of non-league football is that if someone is irritating you you can always go and stand somewhere else.

I must admit me and my mates are sometimes stood there having a good chat about families, jobs etc - but we use Alty as a perfect excuse to catach up really.
We've normally done most of it by half time and we'll concentrate in silence after that :D

I'm really quite immune to banal yapping going on around me while I'm concentrating on more important matters (Ive been married twice), but I do get totally pissed off by unattended small children running up and down the terraces. If you're bringing kids under 8 to the match, they should be with you at all times. If you can't control them, leave them at home to watch Cbeebies. Failing that sit in the Family Stand.
-
What worries me more than anything else is when kids run uncontrolled round the terraces. It only takes one kid to trip and fall or get pushed over by another child, and land on that heavy concrete terracing for quite bad injuries to be sustained. I have seen on odd occasions, parents just letting their kids get on with it.
Please parents, monitor your children and supervise them. They are your responsibility, not the clubs.

That covers all aspects of life.

The shout of 'line it' (although I don't think I've heard this season) no matter where the player was, wound me most. Closely followed by 'just get rid of it'.
