I don't go to many football matches these days but I was at the MK Dons match yesterday and unfortunately was sitting in front of two yobbos(not young about 30-35, shaved heads etc) who were constantly swearing, being vulgar and making racist innuendos. We were four rows back from the front of the half way line and the steward could hear everything that was being shouted and did nothing. There were young children all around and I could see people getting very uncomfortable but maybe was feeling a bit threatened by them. I was biting my lip and asking myself is it me and is this normal to endure this at matches nowadays. Anyway it came to a head when the main culprit(sitting on the seat right behind me) blurted out some rubbish and touched me on the shoulder and asked me what I thought. I swung around and told him I thought he had a big gob. Everything went quiet and I expected some repercussions but luckily he muttered something and was muted. 2nd half he moved off somewhere else in the ground. Now i've been to a couple of grounds this year Southend, Chelsea and had no problems. Has any of the regular football supporters experienced issues that were not dealt with this season when clearly their obscenities could be heard by the stewards?

Mate, the stewards are there for one reason... Free football!
