Do you like the people you sit near at the match?

Decent folk near me, SW Upper. Mind you, a couple of lads leave for the concourse dead on 25 minutes and return on 55 minutes, then leave on 80 minutes, you can set your watch by them...
and they travel from Derby for the privilege!
 
I remember when i had a season ticket in the West Stand Lower, towards the old away end. In line with the 18 yard box.

Was a good bunch around us but we had one guy in the next block who would get ridiculously angry and run down the steps at least 3 to 4 times a game with the veins in his neck and head pulsating.

I remember that guy! Really angry at everyone. Sometimes the stewards had to have a word with him.

Bloke near me moans constantly to his wife
He used to say
' Tavernier again ' then
' Rogers again ' now its
' Barlaser again '
So maybe Barlaser will get sold for £10m next !
 
There’s a woman behind and about 8 seats to my left who is somehow louder and more annoying than the Red Faction drum and megaphone combo. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if she had any clue what was happening on the pitch. I’ve heard her shouting at players who aren’t even on the pitch more than once.
 
The old woman in front of me, downs her flask of coffee with her head tilted so far back she ends up with my knees on either side of her ears (if I manage to move in time otherwise it’s me strangely apologising for being sat completely still and her back headbutting my knees).

She must like the whiff of bell end cheese she gets cos she does it every game.
 
Most are alright, guy behind me can't clap in time with pigbag and that's all I can hear now I've noticed it!!

And 2 middle aged people behind me (brother and sister) only come to the game for a catch up, don't even come to watch the football. They talk about everything from what they're having for tea to car insurance, does my head in!!
 
I sit in GRFZ
There used to be a family who sat to my right, all good people
Unfortunately after lockdown I never them again
I have no idea if they are still with us or not
I have sat there since the premier league debacle and people have come and gone
All generally good
 
Got a decent set around me in the South Stand. Just one annoying lad who tries to discrete with his vaping but fails badly and stinks the place out.
 
We are in an area of the ground to suit my father in law so it's a bit on the quiet side.
Thinking of moving next season as he isnt renewing - so my brothers, myself and junior smoggy are going to move closer to the south stand for the better atmosphere.

To answer the question though, couple next to me do my head in sometimes. She sits right next to me and constantly moans about the horseshoe passing and sarcastically claps and jeers when it goes back to our keeper. Like, every single time regardless of the flow of the game. Last game they disappeared at half time and didnt come back - despite me seeing them in the concourse when I went back to me seat after my vape break.

They love junior smoggy though and sometimes bring him sweets - which is really nice of them.

Bloke behind us is pretty vocal. 'c'mon burreeeeeer' every few minutes and offers a constant volley of advice to the players...."Engel!" (means pass it to engel) - "ayling!!" (means pass it to ayling)...."sort it out Carrick" (means .....sort it out Carrick), etc etc.....with just enough volume for everyone around us to hear but no chance of the players hearing him. Which is probably a good thing because he doesnt know what he is talking about. We all laugh at his outbursts and can be strangely amusing the majority of the time.

I sit in a fairly empty section of the stadium, but there aren't many season ticket holders around me that I mind at all.
They're all very quiet though.

There's one very loud, very aggressive man who sits a few rows down and about 20 seats across who just hurls abuse at specific Boro players all match, screaming that they're shithouses whenever they touch the ball.
Not a fan of his.

Probably an ex chicken run terrace member.
 
I have a lad that sits one seat away from me who constantly disputes my comments on the run of the game and is always telling me to calm down and chill.

If he doesn't pack it in I'm going to tell his mother.😊
 
There's a bloke who sits near me who is constantly vaping, he's not even discreet about it but then he is a big fella, so I don't think anyone dares say anything to him or grass him up.

He sits next to an old fella who hasn't been since the first few home games this season. Hope he's okay, because he's had a season ticket for years and barely ever misses a match.
 
The people that sit near me are just the right level of friendliness

"Alright"

"<Insert comment of most recent Boro news>"

90 mins later

"See you next week mate"


Dont know the fellas name haha but likeable!
 
All decent near me in the North stand. Used to have aright d*ckhead behind in the glory days so I moved. He used to say to his mate “you know what Robbo’s thinking now Dave - if I move him inside and him out we’ll have more width etc etc” all through the game.
I knew people who knew Robbo and I’m pretty sure we was thinking should I have beer or lager first after the match.
