Block E Behaviour

[Well Up For It!]

Not posted here in an absolute age.... but felt compelled to after the way my phone was pinging on Saturday following the Block E boys bus stopping off in my town of Auchterarder on Saturday. 

A group of them decided to spray paint and sticker parts of the town, including on a few memorial planters outside the town hall. The were confronted by an elderly neighbor of mine who was subsequentially met with a torrent of abuse before they headed into The Star bar. 

Absolutely no need for this behavior at all and reflects so poorly on club as a whole. And yeah, I know it would only be a certain few within the group that finds this funny and acceptable and not tarnishing them all with the same brush, but surely the older ones need to nip this in the bud and help protect the reputation of Block E? 

As I am involved a lot in our community here, I had my phone pinging with messages from friends and neighbors who know I'm a Motherwell fan - some as a wind up, some being more serious - all while I was out in Glasgow with my wean at a show. 

There was apparently similar damage/graffiti done earlier in the year around August time so a lot of the locals are now making a big deal of it. There is quite extensive CCTV that identifies the culprits - some of which I have seen - and it has been shared with he police and the club. There is a response from Brian Caldwell that has been shared in the community page.

Worth pointing out that a lot of travelling supporters from lots of clubs stop in Auchterarder - and this is only time in 12 yrs staying here I have seen anything like this being raised - so a really shitty look for the club. 

Putting it on here to highlight and the off chance that anyone wants to take ownership and accountability for this. I will gladly put you in contact with the Auchterarder Community Council who will be footing the bill for your actions, maybe stop any police action before it happens.

I'm sure there will be a barely legible word salad post on FB soon enough decrying the treatment of the people who did this when they are caught.

Sorry to hear that, I just wish folk would simply go and support their team.

Hopefully, if identified and found guilty then the club do something about those involved.

Such a shame as in the main, they are good for the club but a select number (as almost all teams) let themselves and the club down with stupidity.

They do so much to make the atmosphere of games better and I think in general they represent the club well but you’ll always get the occasional bell end that wastes that reputation 

my brother in law took my nephew a few years ago to the Accies v Motherwell game at Douglas park and as he was walking back towards Hamilton west, he had about 6 of them giving him grief and wanting to fight him when he’s walking with his 12yr old son cos he had an Accies scarf on.  You just wonder what goes on in their minds to think it’s acceptable.

I thought things had been improving and then we had the pyro show at Falkirk.   They do a lot of good but they really need to weed out the bad element that is tarring them all with the same brush

Plastic hard men. Identify them, prosecute them, and ban them indefinitely.

There isn't a club in the league that doesn't have fans misbehaving from time to time.

 

I feel a bit sorry for the original poster though as the residents of Auchterarder have fallen into the trap of 'he's a Motherwell fan, there aren't many of them, so he must know them'

Convenient alibi.

Aye, and B&Q.

On a serious note.

With all the great publicity we are getting around the club right now regarding our football, community work and the general feelgood factor around the place we could really do without this.

Block E do so much good stuff around the club with foodbanks and toydrives etc, I really dont get this kinda shit?

Would be good if the group would take ownership of this and volunteer to clean up the mess or make some other form of reparation.

Its ok to mess up. But when you do, own it and do the right thing.

They were acting like arseholes at Tannadice. Their sense of entitlement saw them locked out the game because they because abusive to Stewards . Doesn't matter a fuck what you think of stewarding had they not acted like entitled arseholes they'd have got into the game. No doubt we'll get the persecution response of "heavy hands empty stands"
