Sadly, not too far from where I sit, is a man who consistently shouts political stuff.

If it’s a bad ref he shouts “I bet he’s a Labour voter” and seems to think it hilarious despite nobody ever even raising a smile. When one black player comes on as a sub for another he says really loudly “That’s it, one in one out, that’s the right policy”. Again he seems to think that is really clever. I’m not sure that it’s stuff to report at the game but it is the kind of crap that I don’t want to hear at a match. I’m there for the football not to hear anyone’s personal political opinions.
