Come on guys, who on here in their youth never ended up getting drunk and ended up the next morning with some random road sign on the floor or road cone (you get special points for the road cones the had the lights on them). When i moved house at age 24 sorting out the garage i found double figures of road cones, two stop signs, one no entry sign, a one way street sign and one of the road ahead closed stand up street signs. The Sutton lads had a bit of fun, i don't condone the vandalism though in terms of them breaking the sign, but pinching the sign, i would have sent Maidstone a tweet with a picture of the sign saying you beat Macclesfield and the sign returns home, if you don't then we will scribble on it with crayons before returning it. I obviously had a terribly sheltered youth. I did pinch a Fuller's beer glass from a pub in Reading once - does that count? I was actually 46 at the time, though....

It's a miracle I made it into adulthood, some of the stupid things I did.

There has been a lot of agro at recent games, there was that little crowd of Torquay supporters who were thrown out (one actually carried out last saturday) and then i saw a bloke ejected from the home end at the sutton game. As you say, we have all stolen a poster out of a bus shelter or taken a poster from a gig in our time, but never put the deed on the internet though!

I think the fans thrown out of the away section against Torquay were Dover fans and not Torquay fans. I think it's modern day ideals of social media, where people seek attention and tv shows like big brother etc give people a false platform to aspire to and believe that social media should dictate how they live and that if they don't update it every two minutes it means they are not cool or something.

Think it might have been one of the 101ers that PP mentioned, they were sat in the home section of the main stand, and the one who lit up headed towards the town end exit when asked to leave, the others looked like they were invited to leave via the away turnstile, would have been about 20 minutes after kick off.

The educationally challenged group thrown out of the main stand were Gillingham fans. Don't know why they all come here when their home games are snowed off.

In fairness, to a steward "throwing a chip to the birds circling the pitch "would look just like "throwing something onto the pitch", which, understandably, gets you thrown out. The 'seagull' and 'chip' elements of his action wouldn't have been immediately apparent, and even if they were, you can't allow people to throw stuff onto the pitch under some circumstances and not others. "Give us a break, guv, I was trying to stun that bloody seagull with a coin, not trying to hit their keeper..."

My 16 year old son was thrown out by the police on Saturday for the double offence of walking fast (he was trying to get to the toilet in the Spitfire) with his hood up (it was bloody cold). The police officer said 'you're one of them aren't you?' Meaning the 101s as they were sat about 6 rows in front of us and presumably he had seen him coming from that direction. First officer wouldn't listen to his protests and ejected him. Fortunately a second one allowed him to show his season ticket and let him back in. He was a bit embarrassed and didn't tell me at the time. If he had I would have sought out the police officer to see on what grounds he ejected him!

(bad weather is hardly an excuse for that type of behaviour). Running (Not at all the done thing in a sporting establishment)? Even if we accept your implausible assertions that your son was not up to no good, it has to be said that by failing to understand how his actions might be misconstrued, he was really asking for it. Shocking behaviour.
