Footy Experience Ruined....

[ROOno.1]

Bit of a rant here but...

The only thing about season tickets is if you get a dud supporter behind you every week. There is this woman behind me that every week yells "c'mon Adelaide" in this really high pitched voice right in my ear.

I'm probably going to get told to let her go she is passionately supporting her club and while i admire her passion (and lung capacity) I would really appreciate some variety in her chants, or if she learnt a couple of players names. Its gotten to the point where am forced to cover my ears and not be able to enjoy the noise from the rest of the crowd (and yes i can hear bay 114 from where i am, good work ). The most frustrating part is that she only says it when the opposition are in possesion for goal! Even opposition set shots on goal.

I also have another problem with this supporter. In the breaks she stands up....understandable its pretty cramped....however when doing this if my partner and i are not already standing up her fat stomach or whatever pushes us off our seats. Its disgusting. I also might add that she is one of the people that leave at the 20 minute mark of 4th qtr regardless of score.....at the SHOWDOWN!??!!

While i realise that the crows need as much support from the crowd at AAMI games, a "c'mon Adelaide" all the time is just ridiculous! And while it probably looks like I am one of the people that just sits there and doesn't make any noise i can assure you that my passion equals hers, only I like to spice it up a little.

Fat people generally offend me too.

Roono1 are you in the Northern stand near the back? I have hardly sat in my seats there this year but when I have sat there I've heard this annoying fool shout "cmon adelaide cmon adelaide cmon adelaide" like a ****ing galah stuck on repeat. When I'm blind it can be quite funny but if i had to hear that for 100 minutes each week i'd top myself.

I reckon there's one of those women in every bay. Excruciating.

You'd also have the bloke who cannot believe how a free kick could possibly ever be paid against the Crows and goes mental every single time. There's one of those guys in every bay too.

I imagine there would also be a couple of kids near you who lose interest at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter and spend the entire game playing with their seats, heading off to buy food, fighting and turning around. There are two of these kids allocated to each bay. It's stipulated in your member's guide as well that a parent isn't allowed to sit between them either, or to tell them to shut up.

What about the pair of 40-50 year old women who regularly start up an Ad-el-aide clap clap clap chant, oblivious to the fact that the whole crowd is already engaged in one of their own. Slightly out of time with theirs too. Again, one pair per bay.

And there's one bloke always there clutching a copy of Inane Crowd Banter For Dummies including gems such as:
- "Hasn't he got a head?"
- "Why don't you kick it for him?"
- Etc etc

What ruins my footy experience is being one of only about 5 people to actually get involved in the game this week. Bay 130 something (I change every week). Like honestly when Massie got bumped, you didn't hear a whisper from them, but sitting there staring blankly at the ground with a headphone in there ear. Whilst the rest of the crowd went nuts.

Personally I find the people who stand up and wave there arms like they are about to take off hilarious

At least WE are creating a noise.

More than I can say about a majority of others.

I would welcome some hand waving or something from this woman - mix it up!

We're in the south eastern, bay 136. Must be a different galah.

There's one of these guys in bay114 who goes completely over the top almost every game.

My mate says "hasn't he got a back" everytime a crows free for a push in the back isnt paid.

Personally the WORST stereotye is the negative supporter.

'Oh don't give it Bassett he'll only stuff it up *stuffs up* I told ya! Bloody useless Crows!'

If ever (hardly ) Roo stuffed up, Oh good to see captain showing the way!

I lost the plot at a guy in the prelim last year when he bagged Mcleod. It's one thing to sledge Mattner, Bassett even goody on occasions, but when you start Sledging Bunji its a whole different situation.
