I have copied an email I sent to the club today as they need to know what is happening. Good morning I would like to make you aware of two season ticket holders who make my match days very unpleasant. I sit with my son on seats Nxx and Nxx in the Jackie Husband stand. Most of the time, however, we sit in different seats up near the hospitality section. This is because we can't sit in our season ticket seats due to the vile language that the two individuals constantly spew for 90 minutes. They sit at Pxx and Qxx. My first altercation with Pxx was when we took our seats for the first time this season at the Dundee United game. His son was sitting on Nxx when we arrived and my son asked him to move as he was sitting in his seat. Pxx said that his son has sat there all last season and we should move. I explained that he was wrong and asked to see his son's season ticket. He showed it to me upside down and I pointed out that his son's seat was Nxx. There was a spare seat next to mine, so we allowed his son to sit there but explained that he would need to sort his problem by the Celtic game. I heard him muttering "F**k off" under his breath but didn't take it any further. We sat in different seats for most of the rest of the season, only sitting in our ST seats on big games. During those games, though we noticed that their language (Pxx and Qxx) was really bad - "F**king c*nt" being the most used phrase. They were both very negative as well. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, but these guys really didn't know when to be appreciative of the good football that we have been playing this season. We put up with their vile language as no one else seemed to be complaining, but I had to speak to Pxx at half time at the recent Celtic game. I had bought my step mother a ticket for this game. She is a Celtic "fan" and has never been to any games, but my dad was a Thistle supporter and he took me to most games during the last few years of his life. He died three years ago and Partick Thistle was very good to him. Perhaps Mr Archibald may remember signing a top and ball for dad that was arranged by Wuille Kinniburgh. Anyway, as the game was close to what would have been dad's birthday, I arranged for her to come to the game with us. My son sat with his friend and I sat with her on Nxx and Nxx. Pxx started his bile 5 minutes before the game started by continually shouting "Get intae these bead rattling bast*rds" at least 6 times at the top of his voice. My step mother was shaken as she is a catholic. As the game progressed, both Pxx and Qxx spat out a tride of abuse - "break his f*ckin legs" and I heard Qxx shout "Bring that black bast*rd down", talking about Emilio Izaguirre. Nothing was good enough for these guys and they continued shouting and swearing throughout the 45 minutes. At the half time whistle, Qxx jumped up and disappeared for a pie, I assume. Pxx turned to his son and said "Don't worry, these c*nts will disappear at half time, they always do" - referring to me. At this point I could take no more. I turned round and asked him what his problem was. He said that we always sit somewhere else at half time. I explained that we do that BECAUSE of him and his foul language. I explained that my step mother was with me and that his language was upsetting her and scaring her. He said that he didn't f*ckin care and that we were to f*ck off. My step mother was becoming worried, so I started to walk away, but again, he told me to "F*ck off". This was in full view of 2 stewards, I know they were watching as I caught their eye at least twice. I approached him and asked him what his problem was. He said that we don't come to any games. I explained that we don't sit in our seats because of his foul language and negative and racist comments. I explained that he was a terrible supporter and if he didn't like what he was seeing every week, perhaps he shouldn't come to Firhill. Sorry for the ramble, but I was devastated that these two guys could drag the good name down. I was hoping the guy that was ejected from the JH stand was Q76, but I see it wasn't. You really need to do something about these guys as they must be affecting other supporters. Kind regards
