This isn't Collingwood bashing, but I thought I would relate to you all what happened to us last week at the Pies v Richmond game. Due to the fact that all the Collingwood fucks feel a desperate need to sit together, the MCG has roped off a couple of areas, including the one we sit in every week. Now normally it wouldn't bother us, but Col had his foot in a cast and Col Snr came along to the game also. We would've sat near the wheelie chairs if we could have, but the Cols were told to piss off and sit up in the nose-bleed section all because the MCG sold their soul to the devil aka E McGuire.
Besides, how are you supposed to have friendly banter with the opposition if they're roped off and sitting miles away.
It's is a fucking disgrace no matter which way you slice it!

Seco knows all about this, and he was discriminated against in the same way when we were sitting in the Essendon members area on level 2 of the Southern stand as the guest of Tanya's boyfriends father at the time. Adam applauded a Rocca (or Buckley) goal and copped a spray from some decrepit 75 y/o woman who said "I pay good money to sit with Essendon people, I'll have you thrown out!"
Adam managed to stay, but me being impartial and not really giving a stuff who won, was always as safe as houses.
Yeah Bowie, all clubs have been doing this for years - perhaps a closer look at Tiger central may see the same situation at your club.
I don't like it either, but it's the way of the world - try pulling that stunt off at a Crows home game and see how you go.
Incidentally, has anyone actually taken this up with Collingwood to see where they sit - it may well have been an overzealous security guard, and I know how much you like them.
Let me know what the Pies stance is, and if it's crap I'll take it up with them as a card carrying, social club medallion carrying, hat wearing member.
