This year our season tickets are for block G. (Wrong side of the half way line. Don't know why as we asked to be in the corner). We didn't bother sitting in them for the Doncaster match, scared off by the unfamiliar wrinkled faces, flat caps, flasks of various tartan patterns and walking sticks and other threatening looking mobility aids. We thought the old timers there presented a risk of assorted moans and grumbles.
However, we sat in them for the first half of the Exeter match. There wasn't any moaning there either, just silence.
My parents, in their 80s/70s sit near the press box. They moan a lot, but at least it's nearly always about the ref or "that bloody drum".
And then the Clayton end for the last two matches. No moaning there either.
So, I'm baffled. Where is this alleged moaning coming from?

Lord D !...I, and others on our forum are well aware that since my descent into my dotage, my posts reflect the fact that one or two thousand, or even more of my brain cells have deteriorated to the point where they are never going to serve my thought processes ever again !.
But I can assure you that the details outlined in the initial post of this thread are absolutely accurate and in no way are they the products of my sometimes wandering and over-dramatic mind !.
The unfriendly and unwarranted booing and spiteful slurs shouted at the very players the perpetrators profess to support does go on and in my humble opinion adds little to one's
enjoyment of a game.
We're you to sit near my reserved seat by the Visiting Directors and F19 ! you would I feel ,from the tenure of your posts, share the same outrage !.
On that note, I will sip at my glass of Absolut Vodka and T, get off my high horse, and
plan my route to The Olympic Stadium !.
ON STANLEY !...ON TO GREATER THINGS !!.
