[purplehaze]

Hello oh thanks so much for sticking up for us ,sorry you nearly got in a fight ,I was so glad to be standing next to you and Becky, say hello to Becky.,see you down the front again sometime 😃

A terrible tale though sadly not a rarity. Good to read that others stuck up for you x

Thanks!☺ Thankfully it's mainly nice folk you meet  whilst at nma gigs

Sorry you had such a rough time down the front in Leeds. The pit usually gets a bit lively, but I wouldn't expect that kind of behaviour at the barriers. Then again, there was a guy (in a red T-shirt) causing loads of people hassle in the pit in Leeds, so maybe it was just one of those nights.

Hope you and your daughter's next gig experience is much more enjoyable. :-)

Over the last few years I've been to nma about thirty times and although it gets rough, it's not the same as bullying and being nasty though ,cause usually I enjoy the front dancing,and having a good sing ,getting shoved about a bit,its all part of a good nma gig,everyone having a good time . I think the man in question was just looking for bother I won't let that idiot stop us going to gigs😀

Blimey, that sounds bad, what an utter c-word.  I have to stay out of the pit these days thanks to those health problems that I'm always banging on about  , but my impression was that the pits were as frenzied as ever but with genuine respect and help if someone got into trouble.  Manchester last week looked manic but it also looked good-natured.  What did the guy look like?  Might be a heads-up if he shows up again...

I was at Leeds too and also felt really disappointed by the arrogance of some fans who seem to think they have more rights to be at the gig than anyone else. There certainly were a couple of really ignorant tossers there that night who spoils it for some. I've been to around 50 NMA shows and this was the worst; most are pretty friendly.

I 'helped' this idiot out of the way several times that night.

Don't know what he was playing but kept coming back for more

We also had another idiot at Cardiff who seemed hell bent on flying in all the time

In my opinion, it's a way better and more friendly place down the front now than it used to be in the days of the circles right across the floor - 'How dare you intrude on our private NMA party?!'... Yes a few idiots around, but in general there are not too many people looking to cause trouble..

So sorry the Leeds gig had to end like that for your daughter - and for some others as well, it seems.

Such a shame there are always some idiots spoiling it for others. 

If it was all happening right at the barrier - why didn't security remove that person, I wonder?

Hoping for better luck for you and your daughter at Nottingham

[purplehaze]

I did wonder why security didn 't chuck him out as he had loads of warnings off them but just threatened them and told them to f off.  We still had good time and it hasn't put my daughter off joining me in fact I'm bringing two daughters to the Newcastle gig
