“Scally is a ****” and “We want Scally out” chanted at the game today.
Very specific demographic. Millennials in the terraces. This and much of their other behaviour was utterly embarrassing today. I had to repeatedly say to my son: “Don’t grow up to be like that”.
If you want a reason why we’re not attracting fans of the future... ...it’s an intimidating, hostile and inappropriate place to take your kids.
It really doesn't achieve anything but, if they are millennials, it does prove that we do have support outside of us old gimmers. In fact, in the true definition, millennials should be aged between 25 and 40 so they are the most likely to have small kids themselves.
Whether they choose to bring them is another matter.
Also some homophobic chanting aimed at the Burton Goalkeeper from what I’ve read on the Facebook forum?“Scally is a ****” and “We want Scally out” chanted at the game today.

Reminds me of when my son was little as the opposition keeper was about to kick the ball he would shout Ahhhh That's it....Also some homophobic chanting aimed at the Burton Goalkeeper from what I’ve read on the Facebook forum?
As for the second part of your post, I guess that’s why we have the family enclosure at Priestfield where those with young kids are encouraged to sit so they are not among the more vocal nasty stuff in the Rainham End? Away games obviously make it more difficult to steer clear of that.
It Took me a few years to work out what they were saying with the goal kicks!Reminds me of when my son was little as the opposition keeper was about to kick the ball he would shout Ahhhh That's it....
Other thing - they’re also the same ones who like to boo the ‘taking of the knee’.
It must have been shocking to hear them boo.
I get why you seem upset by it all , having to explain all about BLM to your son.

I actually didn’t hear any homophobia - not to say it didn’t happen.
I absolutely love watching football. But on the odd occasion I am able to get to a match, I’m always ashamed of how football fans behave. Football terraces attract a disproportionate number of twats.

At one-nil up and during a stoppage in play, some in our "choir" decided to "sing" to the Burton ensemble - "How shit must you be, we`re winning away" - to which our young goalie Jamie Cumming turned around to the "singers" just behind him and, clearly bemused, raised his hands in a "WTF" kind of gesture. !
Why didn't Carayol & Tutonda take the knee ?
Are they 'buffoons or twats' for not joining in ?
Perhaps they might have another reason ?
I've always thought that was in the gallows humour bucket. I don't disagree that some of the players might be offended by it. I've thought it should be saved for the season where we are winless away and near the bottom. Not sure it was really applicable this season (although we are winless away )
Definitely gallows humour rather than anything more in my book.

At the risk of receiving pelters agin, this is the point I have been trying to make about the subject of racism.
The die hard racists are just hate filled and other races are just one of many targets. The same people target gay people or anyone that is a bit different. If there is a crowd of them, then they feel emboldened.
Buddha didn't seem to get it when I said that, in my opinion, it all comes under the umbrella of bullying but I do not see that anything is achieved by making out that EVERYONE needs to be "educated". Most people are decent and see others as equals, so have the right to feel offended by such blanket protests as the knee.
Further evidence yesterday that such gestures will not convert the minority that are hate filled.
