AS A season ticket holder I would like to say a few words about the ‘fantastic atmosphere’ on Tuesday at the Kassam.
Yes, it was loud and passionate, as indeed it should be. But an hour and a half of chants at full volume with the ‘F’ word in every one, including the accusation that all Swindon supporters sexually abuse their children?
The sheer level of hate and vitriol was mind numbing. Would you want to take your 10-year old to this? An opposition player is seriously injured. Comment – ‘Get him off!’.
Is everybody deaf in the press and commentary boxes? They all do their part to stoke up the atmosphere beforehand. Sure there’s a place for passion but this goes beyond this.
