Liverpool fans travelling to Reading for Tuesday's Carling Cup tie are warned they face ejection from the stadium if they stand in seated areas.

A statement by Reading FC safety officer Clive Doyle reads: "We welcome Liverpool supporters to Madejski Stadium and hope you have an enjoyable visit.

 

"Please note that standing in seated areas is not permissible, as it is against the ground regulations.

 

"We are required to have supporters seated during the match and if people refuse we will be forced to eject those who fail to comply."

 

The statement goes on: "Public order offenders may be arrested by police and get a criminal record.

 

"As a result of persistent standing by Liverpool fans last season, Madejski Stadium management has been required to prohibit the sale of alcohol at this match."

 

So not only because of standing in the past, you may get ejected but also there is no ale on sale in the ground.

 

This kind of thing will become the norm in the future.

To be fair, standing is a bit of a c**** trick if theres kids behind you.

Wonder how long till you're not allowed to talk when the ball is in play and you can't cheer a goal as theres the possibility of offending someone with sensitive ears.

St James Park Newcastle, season before last. Crouch Gerrard and Cisse scored. Lad was singing songs and one of them involved a naughty word. Geordie busy dragged him out. Bang out of order.

Was just about to say it's happened at Newcastle. I was there three years ago I think and it happened. Someone was dragged out by us and I asked a lad stood by me why he'd gone. Lad said: He took Shearer's name in vain.

 

Newcastle police and stewards are f***ing c****.

It's getting close to that at Anfield with that c*nt of a policeman who patrols in front of the Paddock.

so according to that you are not allowed to stand at all

 

never

 

what happens if we score then?

 

what a load of bulls***

 

I got kicked out at Southend years agao for swearing, it was at a police officer mind you. :ohmy::ohmy:

 

I'm sure they will not mind if you stand up and politely applaud after we score. Throw in a couple of "I say old boy, terrific shot. Tophole goal old bean" comments and they might even upgrade you to a seat in the posh part of the ground.

There was a lad round me thrown out for swearing there last season though it was at a steward rather than just general shouting about the match, 2 others for standing, it's ridiculous there.

you know what'ld really scare em...if the fans made a concerted effort to stay absolutely fixed to their seats and didn't make a noise....let the powers that be see where their nonsense is taking the game and watch how they reply....sponsors, tv and radio need an atmosphere - take that away deliberately would be the loudest protest you could make

That's just....insane. Might as well chuck out managers and players if that's the case,

 

Nothing has changed. Football fans still = scum. As far as they're concerned.

kelly said his was because a fellow spurs fan complained about it! he'd also seen fans removed by stewards for shouting 'that's f***ing b*llocks ref' or similar. mental.

I've had mates thrown out at Villa for either standing or swearing. There's a lot worse clubs out there than Liverpool and a load worse stewards.

 

Against Wycombe I was told that if I swore one more time I would be thrown out, I even had Ant with me at the time, he was 10 then. Next thing there was even a policeman called and the pair of them watched me for a good ten minutes. The only thing I could shout was "Referee I really doubt that you knew you father, you appear to be overweight and your eyesight is not the best".

 

The steward and copper could do nothing, the crowd around laughed, they knew I was taking the piss but could do nothing about it, they knew it and I knew it, and then Robbie scored - happy days.

I can't understand anyone NOT swearing at a Spuds match!

 

Been given the waggy finger and told to curb it by an Anfield steward for suggesting that a certain Juventus player prone to aerobatics was of dubious parentage and resembled the female reproductory organs. Mind you - this was nothing compared to what Katja yelled at Viduka during last seasons home game with Boro...

 

The standing thing is understandable within reason. Not to expect fans to stand during moments of higher tension or after a goal etc though is a bit ludicrous.

Personally I am getting pissed off with all the mummy knows best announcements at Anfield -against Brum first we had the "no smoking in the bogs" one then the "no standing you naughty boys" one then the neverending "no racism" one -then they ran the whole f***ing lot again!!

I decided to go for a smoke behind the bike sheds at that point!!!!
