And here you are 23 hours after the start of your thread, you’ve made your point, perhaps time for some Horlicks and an early night. Sorry? Whats your point? Are people supposed to start threads and then never return? I’ll await your next one, if there ever is one 🤭

I’ll await your next one, if there ever is one 🤭 But what has it got to do with you exactly? Given ickle Fred Gavigan’s sudden intervention, I think it’s clear what Blacklisted’s interest is. He’s protecting his kin, very laudable . We are all going to get a visit at the next home game. Interesting also to see that he’s a friend of the “person” bravely shouting vile abuse at the Farnborough keeper . I did wonder why Blacklisted was so worked up about this issue , now it is clear . I’m hoping the club can grow a backbone on this saga , it’s going to be very damaging going forward if not .

Not in any way condoning any of the alleged vile behaviour which has brought shame of the club's reputation but I have to say, the language used on social media by both Jack and Victoria Turner on the subject is not really becoming of parents of a nine year old daughter claiming the moral high ground. Last Tuesday evening, there was a group of gobby young teenagers who chose to sit in the main stand near us last Tuesday and whose language and general behaviour served to cause misery for everyone around them (to add to that from what was going on on the pitch). They were spoken to first by stewards and later by a director but, of course nothing could happen because of their age - and they knew it. I'm rather hoping yesterday's miscreants are from the same group - if not, sadly it looks as if we've got another lot coming through. With respect Andy, given what was said, I don’t think we can Blame this couple for being upset. I think the club has a major problem not just with the specific offender here but with a group of people.

Goodness me, there's only one (or one group) to blame for the trouble this club is in right now. I merely wanted to add a bit of balance here. Our idiot probably hurls similar abuse at every goalkeeper he's stood behind and every one, until now has ignored it. Jack Turner didn't and nor has his wife and so it's all kicked off. He's clearly picked on the wrong "victim", but if it ends up in some sort of ban for our idiots, I will be delighted. I still maintain though, the Turners' language on social media, however understandable is not what I would expect from parents of a nine-year old whom they're trying to protect.

Put some stewards in the stand, with instructions immediately to eject anyone causing a disturbance . The club needs to get on top of this

Sorry Andy but u havent walked in their shoes. Completely misreading the room. How anyone can be balanced and measured in their response to something as hideous like this I'll never know. Have you never completely lost your rag and responded by lashing out? It's called being human.

Yes I have, but not as publicly taking with me a whole football club and the majority of decent supporters' reputation.

Was there really a need to ‘add a bit of balance’?! The Turners’ bad language (which I agree was unnecessary) does nothing to balance out the behaviour of those idiots that call themselves our fans!

All these kids were doing was singing “referee’s a w****r”. As annoyingly to hear the chant repeated it was, it’s far less than I’ve heard from our fans before, and even one of the kids got removed. Seems the stewards got a bit power crazy over some young teenage kids

If you attend the Bobby Lucas stadium it is full of stewards as per “National League” rules, I wasn’t there yesterday but if all the reports are true did the stewards ignore it, didn’t see it or were there none on duty? Indeed the BLS does have an abundance of SIA/Stewards at matches. Apart from Torquay & Y*****, you won’t see this at any other ground in the Conference South.

Whilst some of the teenage fans are causing trouble, it should be pointed out that it’s not just the kids.
The “person” in question that has allegedly hurled some pretty horrific comments in the direction of the Farnborough keeper is nearly twice the age of these teenagers.
A lot of people behind those goals, regardless of age, need to quite frankly grow up!!

I wasn't sure who the person blackfisted named as "John Holmes" is. So I googled it. Don't! At Tanagra, Temba arms opened. Darmok his eyes bled. The black hole was exterminated

The Club's tolerance of vile and sensless abuse hurled at opposition keepers was one of the reasons why after many years supporting the Club I lost interest in regularly attending games, a few seasons ago. The Club needs to ban the individuals concerned now and any in future who behave in a similar manner, and make sure the bans are enforced.

The Club is trying hard to portray a family image, and if many of the people that they’re trying to attract hear some of the language, particularly from behind the goal, they are unlikely to return.
