I was told to sit down also psyco... it annoyed me.
I found it hillarius when they were singing stand up for the warriors. I even saw a steward giggle to himself

Similar thing happened to me and a friend at the 1991 Premiership Final. We actually got onto the Stretford End, sat amongst the Hull fans, drinking a few cans of lager we had taken in with us, when a steward informed us, that we couldn't drink the cans where we were. We had to drink the cans near the turnstile entrances! The Hull fans were protesting more than we were! Couldn't see us doing any harm or upsetting anyone. We ended up sharing the cans with a few Hull supporters, just so we didn't end up getting ejected!

Cant see a problem if you are not blocking anyones view.
Tell your auntie to put her flask in an inside pocket.

huck us out for standing up on the back row? yet they fail to chuck out the 100 or so in the middle :conf:
it didn't help that he was a scouser! i don't have problems with them, much, but he could have at least done his job and gone to the middle, told the stewards there to do the same thing, but no.

No, a different one, loyal to St Helens chants and antiGanson chants. sits near me down below you lot.
Back to standing... it is better to sit no matter, the stadium has regulations if you like them or not, id prefer to sit in a seating stadium as people will disrupt your view in front.
People may not like being told to sit but it's their neck if anything bad goes wrong. You'll realise and change attitudes when you're older (no offence) I used to feel the same your age in the East
