Need to watch this.
Would be a terrible shame for us to get within touching distance of starting the journey back, and then having to face yet another points deduction or other penalty imposed upon us.

Not cordoning it but what offends one won't nessassary offend another .....
If it's just mild language why not just move?

It ceratainly wasn't mild language and I certainly wasn't offended, why should I move anyway. It was pointless deliberate repeated chants of 'Cunt' right by the entrance to the club, this offended someone as they got told off by Bedworth staff so I was told.

Cordoning and mildness
Views: 386
I fear some people are missing the point I made earlier. In fact I fear a few of you might just be being a bit of a C*** here. (:
If someone from a visiting club or a player objects to this though-then we could get in trouble, Even though we've fallen a long way, there are STILL C***s out there who hate us, itching for a chance to take us down further. Singing or shouting obscenities gives them a nice opening.
Vile language doesn't bother me, either aih. And yes you can move elsewhere in a near deserted ground if you don't like it. ( I've had to move away from c***s at the Oval a few times already this season: not because of their vile language, but because I object to them picking on individual players and they are largely just regurgitating tripe they've heard on MoM anyway.
Just best to behave ourselves imho and keep to the law at present. That was my point.
If anyone still needs to get pissed up and shout abuse-there are plenty of other venues that would welcome you. So do one and leave us alone, eh?

Interesting that abuse of people is okay, as long as it does not fit into those categories ;)
Spectators should:
* Show due respect to match officials and others involved in the game.
* Not verbally abuse match officials.
* Encourage and show positivity towards all players.
* Not applaud or cheer foul play.
* Show respect for the opposition team, its officials and supporters, no matter what the score or situation in any particular game.
* Never verbally abuse a player, coach, official or spectator based on their appearance, race, religion, gender, sexuality, age, or disability.
* Not engage in racist, sexist or homophobic chanting.
* Not use inappropriate language or engage in aggressive behaviour.
*The club operates a zero-tolerance policy on the illegal drugs. The club will take strong action against anyone identified carrying or using these articles.
* Never encroach on, or throw any items onto the pitch or its surrounds.
* Always have regard to the best interests of the game, including where publicly expressing an opinion on the game, including others involved in the game.

Don't condone any personal abuse but bad language is part of any game in any league not just football .... it comes with the territory and not just supporter's who use it.

Truth in that
Views: 323
Language on field, at senior and part time level is often worse that that used by spectators. Which I accept, is an irony,
However, there is a difference between an occasional outburst of industrial language after you've been clattered and sustained chanting or singing.
Maybe?

Common Assault.
Views: 318
Common assault is a crime in English law that occurs when someone intentionally or recklessly causes another person to fear immediate unlawful violence.
It can include physical violence, threatening words, or minimal physical contctat
Examples of common assault Shoving or pushing someone, Using threatening words, Spitting at someone, and Raising a fist.
Whilst a call to the police is unlikely, a report to the FA will be taken seriously.

I am giving the definition of common assault.
If the victim felt theattdned and/or in danger and made a report to the police, the police would investigate.
I quote what I said Whilst a call to the police is unlikely, a report to the FA will be taken seriously.
If the club (rightly) have codes-of-conduct they must act to uphold them.

When we're doing absolutely brilliant on the pitch, the management, the board room, interacting with the community etc etc etc ...lets find something to try and destroy it or at least tarnish the club.
I couldn't of envisioned of a better club to come out of the ashes than whats been achieved this season....
My hat goes off to everyone who's put time money and sweat into this season to think last april we didnt even have a ball to kick ....
Absolutely 💯

Wasn't moaning. Just pointing out a few basic facts.
Don't think you could find a more loyal, supportive Boro fan than Pod either, btw. He is sometimes critical. He is entitled to be, in my book. He goes home and away :he pays to get in and he is there most weeks.
The only time I've moved away from fans at he Oval is because they were really moaning. Even when we were 3-0 up. Ridiculous. That's proper moaning, that is. Shouting at OUR players every time they make a mistake. ( Which the table seems to suggest is not that often).
Flagging up a few minor comments about a nuisance most of us could do without is commenting. That's all.

(It's Monday morning).
It was another three points in a long series of winning three points over there and I am really pleased that we added them to our total.
This is a very personal view, and no offence intended etc but I'm sorry if anyone purporting to be a boro fan feels we have a right to be at the Oval/inBeduff and so can do what we want -because:
(1) we don't and (2) we can't.
If we ever do "Get Back To Nuneaton" some of the credit may well be down to them for offering us hospitality when few cared.
And if the lady in the tea bar was the one who runs the green hut by the stand, she is a diamond imho.

There is a case for a proper ground share and both clubs developing additional resources - improved terracing for instance. I see Bedworth are looking to spend £250,000 on a new artificial pitch.

I think that I read somewhere that for every pitch booking that BU have had over the last twelve years,that they saved a percentage of the income for when the replacement pitch needs doing. Hence their ability to find the necessary quater of a million pounds needed.

Whilst not meaning to a) go on about our previous regimes or b) being disrespectful to Beduff, but it makes the mind boggle how a smaller club like them than run themselves properly whilst we continuously fucked up basic budgeting time and time again.
I'm very impressed with our current regime and the monthly treasurer report because it shows we are doing things right.

So much more fun this season than many others. Particularly some of the games previously under you know who when some of the antics on the pitch and in the dug out were often ruddy awful.
I wish Beduff could open the turnstile some days by the Memorial Gates, like they used to during our "derbies" there, but I guess that is a maintenance/H. & S. /staff costs issue nowadays.
And finally (to provide all Forum readers with an amusing image), being in my dotage now, if I slipped on that grass bank coming down towards pitchside I'd probably bounce right over the perimeter fencing and onto the 3G.
