And thereby lies what could be a problem with attendances at the Crown! Some of the songs and language that I have heard is disgusting! Yes it is part of the game, you hear it enough on Match of the Day/Football League show and live football matches. Doesn't make it right though. Maybe, people are sick of the language and won't bring kids [although to be fair, most hear a lot worse in the playgrounds at school] and older generation don't want to hear it. Personally, it won't stop me, but doesn't mean I have to like it.
To DAV007 please do not tar all stewards with the same brush. Yes there is often the one bad apple in the barrel, having done the job, the abuse you get for doing a job and upholding football league rules is not fun. Eric Whalley was insulting when he made that speech on TV, and at the time, the then stewards nearly went on strike. No stewards = no football at the Crown, you would do well to remember this. They are essential. And if as has been stated by others, these youths were swearing in main [family] stand, then they deserved to be ejected or at least moved, however, I suspect the main stand was the only one open. Also the issue of one running on the pitch after Stanley scored should be an automatic ban from the ground, there are enough signs on the pitch side wall stating entering the field of play will result in prosecution or words to that effect
