In the Crowd

[Bucking Beads]

You know how you go to the game and get seated near a funny character or just an idiot this is the thread to vent and discuss the good and the bad about being in the crowd..



Had a classic Dragons fan sitting behind me last night, kept on going give it Gasnier, Gasnier, Gasnier, Gasnier!!!! They went to him and they threw it over the sideline piss funny I lost it..
His commentary of the Dragons attacking raids was gold.. Go left, left, this is it we are in then they drop it LOL... SO good. He left pretty quick when Locky kicked the drop goal as well I turned around to give it to him and he was gone.. :haha:

A couple of years ago at Lang pk playing the Tits I had a Titans fan with one of those 3 handed clappers directly behind me. He knew stuff all about footy but he sure knew how to make noise with that clapper.
It was the most annoying 80 mins of my life but he was having fun and I would have looked like a bad loser if I said too much and probably fired him up even more.

We were behind all game then pulled out the win on full time, the crowd went ballistic except for ol mate behind me then I turned around a grabbed his clapper and gave him a burst of it in face, the look on his face was golden but he took it well.

LOL.


I have front-row seats at the footy and another season member who sits next to me is a redhead. A few weeks ago, Buck the mascot was walking around as per usual, shaking everyone's hand and all that. But this time he was actually having a casual conversation with everyone. The redhead guy was like, "OH LOOK! A talking horse!" sarcastically...and Buck just said, "OH LOOK! A talking redhead!" Everyone LOLed...the redhead guy's face was the same colour as his hair lolzzzz!

 

[Bucking Beads]

He obviously had never watched Mr Ed, talking horses have a quick wit :haha:

I was standing up at half time at the Manly game the other week, as I always do to stretch the legs a bit. At this point the kids had already had their halftime run, and there were literally only security guards on the field at the time, when I hear the bloke behind me say "fellas, can you sit down?"

I was in shock. Still am.

You should have started jumping :P

At the Broncos (vs Souths) game at Suncorp I had this smelly guy in front of me. He had to comment on every play and turn around and look at us like we really wanted to hear his opinion on the game (he seemed very simple, whether he had a mental handicap I don't know). When the Broncos first try wasn't awarded. He started blowing up deluxe calling it a rake and wouldn't listen to anyone (including Broncos fans next to him) explaining the rules that you are allowed to attack the ball when going for a try and that they didn't even attack the ball but the arm and he dropped it short due to this. During the game he made more stupid statements and I had enough so I kept setting him off by being smart ass about things going on during the game. When Michael Crocker lost the ball right near full time it looked like a rake so I yelled out, "he raked the ball, call it ref" in parody of the idiot. He then yelled out penalise the grass. It was a very funny experience.

At Newcastle the next week I had the pleasure of sitting next to a 50+ year old lady. She made a comment about sitting next to Souths supporters to her friends before she sat down next to me. Then all during the game made comments. Nathan Merritt almost scored a try but put his foot on the line, she told me to "sit down, shut up". Everything was a forward pass, offside, get off them ref and Captain Kurt.

Then in the 2nd half during the time we started making some sort of comeback Newcastle knocked on and the player booted it across field. So I yelled out he "kicked the ball away, penalise him". Then she went "your player did it earlier". I said "No he didn't, he threw the ball and they are two different things". As I didn't explain myself correctly because I believe the Souths player bounced the ball on the ground and it went flying 30 metres. She laughed with her friends next to her saying they were the same thing.

So I blew up, I never said it directly to her though but just ranted outloud. I was dropping f bombs (which I rarely do at the footy but I was already pissed off due to a #### day at work, our crap performance on the field and having to put up with this old cow as well). I was saying things like she wouldn't know the rules today as the game has probably changed so much since she originally started watching etc... I was extremely pissed off.

Another one was at North Sydney Oval around 2003 or 2004 against Manly. I don't know if we had to win to not get the spoon or we already had that sealed up. But we had a group of about 6, 40 - 50 old farts drinking the whole game and one was smoking. Now the seats at North Sydney are elevated to were they were standing concourse is. So anyways they had wooden spoons with them and they were waving them during the game and being smart asses to Bree's nan and some older members we sit with. However after full time one of the guys either waved it in my face or went to hand it to me. He had already done something that I wasn't happy with, so I snatched it off him, snapped it in half on the metal safety rail infront of us and threw it back in front of him and told him to "Piss off and have some respect for other fans".

A few year ago at Manly we were sitting in the front rows of the members stand. This lady behind us dropped her glasses into Bree's mum's hand bag. Bree reached into the bag to hand them to the lady. She leant over snatched the glasses before Bree was able to get them far out of the bag and started abusing Bree saying she was trying to steal her glasses and told us to watch ourselves and watch our car. Even some of the Manly supporters had WTF? expressions on their faces, and that is a very hard thing to achieve... lol

One of the worst experiences for bad fans was actually out side the ground after the Dragons vs West Tigers semi final last year. We went to see our U20's team play and stayed around for first grade. Now outside the ground near the P1 parking some small Wests Tigers chick was getting in the face of a big Dragons supporter as something had already happened before we got near and he punched her across the face knocking her to the ground and saying she kneed him in the balls. Another Wests Tigers chick got in front of him and said you can't hit girls, she is just a kid, he replied with the she should have got out of my face and not kneed me in the balls. Then within a flash everyone had sort of moved on, before you could find a cop to advise them of the situation.

As I attend so many away games, I am usually stuck next to the home team fan and we always seem to get that "one" around us. I am very passionate but I have respect for other fans and I never turn around and taunt fans or say #### after a win to an opposing fan. I admit I yell out, I cheer, tease players and jump up and down but when full time hits, I clap off whoever wins and obviously cheer for my team if we win. I always wonder, am I the "one" dickhead those supporters hate and talk about.. lol

Let's see...

Australia vs. New Zealand ANZAC Test 2007
We had won this game fairly comfortably when a couple of Kiwi supporters starting going off. He made some comment about Hunt not being an Aussie, and it's not like a Kiwi side would ever pick an Aus. born player so I asked him about Webb, Fien and Pritchard. So we just kept at it until he turned his attention to Tate. He went off on Tate, said he was the most ######ed player he's seen, would never see him play for the Kiwis blah blah blah when suddenly Tate makes a big break right in front of us and sets up a try right on full time. As soon as it happened, he tapped me on the shoulder, flipped me the bird, flashed me a smile then we just shook hands and had a laugh.

Gold Coast Titans vs. St. George Illawarra Round 1 2007
Titan's debut game and a group of friends thought it'd be awesome to be apart of history. Similar sort of story as before but in reverse. I decided on the day, I'd troll my friends and say Chris Walker would have a hell of a game which of course got them fired up. Anyways, he made a mistake at one point and they went right off. At which point the bloke in front of me, who'd turned around a few times previously said something to the effect of 'Oi guys can you knock it off, that's my cousin', which promptly shut us up until he said 'But you're right, he is pretty s**t'.

And it seems like every Manly game I go to I'm surrounded by very special or precious fans.

In the 08 game we had some rotund guy think he was Hulk Hogan after every try and do all his celebrations as they scored and would yell at us, YEAH WHAT NOW BRISBANE. Never mind we were missing a few players on the day.

Then in 09, we had this person who we didn't know was either an old lady or just a very strange man. He sort of spoke like Hasler and mumbled to himself all game before yelling in really random intervals usually about things that had happened like 15 minutes ago. And the one time he kept up with the game he was still extremely random. Winter had just scored a try that could have equalled the game up and to sum it up, he basically said that's a try six times, and when the refs awarded it, he blew up big time and pranced around his aisle like an alien was about to burst out of his body. When Parker missed the kick, he let out this huge laugh for a good 30 seconds or so and then did a little jig. Just...random.

Holy s**t Jeba, the exact thing happened to me. :|

Well, not exactly, it was some old duck but still.

 

[Browny]

Jeb, did you tell him to #### off?

Anyway, I could fill this thread. Will tell my stories when I get to work tomorrow.

Gotta love the BHQ work ethic lol

Believe me I wanted to. He had kids with him though so didn't want too many bad words flying and we were just about to sit down anyway. Still, was shocked. We've done the exact same thing, in the exact same seats, for 2 full seasons, and not once were told to sit down (nor should we be!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[Bucking Beads]

If you said something you would be the bad guy which is a disgrace. Some people think the world owes them something.

 

[Browny]

They are called manly fans

Several years ago at Newcastle, when they still had the hill.

I sat down in the dirt & was there for about 10 mins when an old bat came along & said, I was sitting in her seat.

I said, it's general admission & it's just dirt.

She called me every name under the sun & told me I will be sorry when her son turned up.

Son turned up & when told what happened, he wanted to fight me. :haha:

Told him I would love to take him on, but seeing as I am a 5 dan black belt, my hands are lethal weapons. He then told me to settle down.

The Mum spent all game

knitting. (I can still hear the knitting needle clicking)

After we beat them, was walking out of the game & was abused because I was wearing Broncos gear.
