Worth reading the comments attached to that post.

Too right they should be. As long as it’s not random abuse, I’d prefer to be sat with passionate fans than the corporate types. The atmosphere at Twickenham has sunk in my view, from what I’ve seen anyway. Expensive tickets prices a lot of genuine fans out so what you have now are probably fairly affluent/well to do types who are going to be less boisterous/passionate. This may be a bit of a stereotype though.. but ultimately the audience that’s affordable for twickenham now, is pretty much the leading factor for the lack of atmosphere (along with playing terrible rugby for years)

I was in the "cheap" seats in the Upper NW corner, it was great up there, a mix of English and Scottish supporters all watching a close game, great amosphere up there....

But we are far from the pitch and no one can hear You scream

At £170 a go I guess what people are looking for is as near the comfort as you get at home in front of the telly but with the ability not to be stuck with the Producer/Director constantly cutting away to long distance angles unneccasarily. Plus they might be thinking why do I have to tolerate these soccer type rowdy boys....

Just popping in to see if we could correct the grammar of the subject line, it is bringing me out in a rash.

Hamilton can keep his "match's" as a plural if he wants

Completely agree with his comments that fans should be more passionate.

But isn't this more a reflection of the plastic and politically correct society that we now live in (where everything can be recorded on a cameraphone) rather than specifically an issue with fans?

I also believe that, err, "bladder strength" is weaker amongst youngers of today compared to 20 or 30 years ago........

...

I'd be surprised. I've not noticed Twickenham ever appearing like a haven for the politically correct, although definitely the weak of bladder.

I believe Wales were pretty quiet after a bit on Saturday too.

Don't forget that bloke appeared to have had a few and was quite happy swearing on camera. Who knows what he was actually shouting when someone asked him to shut up. 😁

That was my thought. Was clearly battered and just ranting about Tuilagi. One might uncharitably guess that he doesn't know what he's talking about, got a freebie, got smashed, only knows the name of one player, then got annoyed when those around him didn't want to join a Mexican wave and got annoyed when he kept getting up every 5 minutes

That's not grammar my friend, that's spelling.

Do you think the woke police will introduce a Sin Tax for poor English?

There should certainly be a punishment for people who use the word 'woke' without knowing what it means.
