A TEENAGER has been fined for breaking a seat at Aberdeen’s Pittodrie football stadium.
Parkhead season ticket holder Ross Hampson stamped on a plastic seat at the Aberdeen Football Club ground shortly after Celtic scored at a match against Aberdeen FC on May 2 this year.
Fiscal depute Ian Warburton told Aberdeen Sheriff Court 18-year-old Hampson had offered to pay for the damage when he was spoken to by Grampian Police officers.
Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard the goal had been scored and Hampson had been pushed forward in the crowd at Pittodrie stadium.
Hampson, whose address was given as 28 Carron Court, Cambuslang, admitted damaging the seat at Pittodrie’s South Stand.
Defence agent Iain Woodward-Nutt said first offender Hampson had been in a very crowded part of Pittodrie but accepted he acted recklessly.
Sheriff Graham Buchanan ordered Hampson to pay £28 in compensation to Aberdeen Football Club and fined him £170.


Also in Aberdeen 2 people appeared in court for having a spit roast with a Sheep. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad days

 

Deserved a fine IMO

 

i broke my seat an man city....didnt everyone?

 

did that just give his adress

 

Fs, he's a deadman now

Deserved the fine imo, giving the club a bad reputation.

 

did he jump on the seat on purpose or was it as part of the celebration, because in the past ive seen myself jumping around on the seat

 

hes hardly givin the club a bad name!! he offered to pay for it to the police!! and if he broke it just after the goal well he prob didnt mean it!! but i suppose thats wot happens wen u vandalise meanin it or not!

 

Ban him immediately!..its that simple, we dont need people like this following celtic,

 

happens all the time in every country. no big deal. can't believe this makes the headlines

 

excatly TrollDude, anything to make a news story whether it's worthy of it or not.

 

what we don't need people who passionately celebrate goals...?

catch yourself on.

Ridiculous that people support this fine, chairs in football stadiums are bits of plastic that get broke all the fecking time, get over it ffs...

fined and slated by his fellow supporters for breaking a seat...ffs...

 

so u think it is ok for the huns to damage the seats at parkhead every year?, why do you feel it is acceptable to vandalise something in the name of celebration, * knows what he would do when the other team scored, our fans are diplomats for the club, so stop trying to justify this behaviour, how many seats and other things did the huns break in manchester, is that ok..... i have supported my club since i was 7, and have never felt the need to take my emotions out on any property or person, this is NOT ON!

 

here mate get a grip of your life with alssorts a people jumping about he coulda been pushed forward onto the seat infront of him and that may be why it broke. not as if he refused to pay for the damages either he said he would so shut up .

 

I have no issue with the huns breaking seats in parkhead or anywhere else, as i said they are bits of plastic, very cheaply and easily replaced.

What the huns did in Manchester has no relevance to a tim breaking a seat celebrating a goal in Pittodrie,....

our fans are not diplomats for our club, we are fans, simply that.

i think necks need to be wound way in, shouts of banning some bhoy for breaking a seat whilst celebrating a goal......this is NOT ON!

 

Exactly mate

 

guys ive seen the damage done at the rangers end after the celtic and hun games when our new stadium opened,and to prove it to the rangers board we took two rangers employees over to show it to them,fergus was fecking raging,toilets ripped out,sinks torn off walls,seats broken everywhere,and they won that game,and this as after they banned us from ibrox for a load of broken seats.so it shot them out of the moral high ground.they paid for the damage,there is no excuse for breaking anything in a football ground or anywhere else for that matter,i work in education where our schools are vandalised daily,and parents think theres nothing wrong with their wee boys and lassies doing that as it always gets fixed,aye but who pays for it,its a blight on society.hammer them,make the parents/animals pay.

 

well said that man!!!

 

u shut the * up u little *! what the * do you do to tell me to get a grip...loserrrrrrrrr

 

little * * shut the * up. ban people bcause of breaking the seat , seats can be broken easily u * so shut the * up , your just as bad as a hun

 

:snack:
