Yes Indeed you're right in what you say, but what's good for the goose etc. Imagine being a supporter of say St Pauli or even Dulwich Town & having to hear a hardcore minority espousing left wing politics on the terraces in which you didn't particularly agree with?
That could also become quite tedious eventually.

I quite agree.....though it's only for the working class who can afford it of course.

A day out at the Palace or any other Premier club isn't for the breadline.

Just wondered why no one here has considered the Neighbors.

What would the local people think when they hear 'Chants of TOMMY ROBINSON' coming out loud and clear from the Crystal Palace stadium, have a look around at the folks living here and I'm sure you will agree that hardly any would be amused.

I've lived in Oliver Grove, where every chant is loud and clear as it was when I lived on South Norwood Hill. And you could hear every Goal from as far away as Ecclesboune Road when I lived there as and my misses told me.

'This Freedom of Speach' mantra is being stretched too far methinks in this arena.

I disagree, you cannot ever stretch freedom of speech too far. But you can certainly stretch the excuses for gagging it too far.
The guy with the hook (I forget his name) openly encouraged violence, hatred and applauded terrorism against the very country that provided him with the freedom to say such things. And for a long time the authorities could do little to stop him.
I am not saying for a single second that I agree to him being allowed to peddle that kind of hatred while attempting to poison decent young muslim minds but if this is openly allowed in our country under the freedom of speech act I fail to see how anyone has the right to tell anyone else what to say or believe (as long as they are non violent) at a football match.
Too many Corbynites thinking its fine to have your own views as long as they are our views. Why can people not get their head around the fact that other people will always see things differently to yourself? I agree that if someone's comments are found offensive its hard to be tolerant history has surely taught us that you cannot force anyone to stop believing something.

Agree in theory. Problem is not everyone will adhere

Exactly that. I want to see goals, not manifestos.
