I've been to Reading loads, language yes, but never any racism!
Most of our players are non-White, and actually a few of those who are white aren't originally from the uk either. There are signs up all around the stadium about bad language and racism not being tolerated.
But they do swear..
Can you name the teams?
Sisi that is so sad! I'd have contacted the club tbh
Bad is this a home or away match?
If home, some stadiums have family sections, so less likelihood of "trouble"
There should not be any fights, security these days is tight.
Racism aside, at 13/14, a year 8 child will have come into contact with language and actually imo, it's a lesson in understanding social context.
My son knows what people say, he know what things mean and he knows the hierarchy. He also knows clearly that I never want to hear him swear, nor do I accept him swearing where he could be overheard by another parent/adult.
My DS is an only child, for me it's important he knows how to relate to other men and male environments. 99% of the time we never hear any swearing, there is no trouble and it's a hugely positive bonding experience that we share.
Watching youth teams (and women's) is brilliant. Reading play in the elite league at U21 level, so their next match at home is against Chelsea. It's all free, even to park, and they do meet the (adult team) player for signings and stuff, it's brilliant! Well worth it.
Our footy players are gawjus... I drooled and tried really hard not to make a tit of myself the last time we went!!
