Sock gate (again)

[MegaSteve]

Thread reminds me of the old days in the works canteen... Same old faces would be sitting at the same tables every day spending every minute whinging how bad the management decisions were... As, by moaning out loud, they were hoping another would take up their issues with management as they didn't have the balls to do so...

Well, you can question anything in your own club, fair enough, but when visiting? Abide by their rules. It is their play ground, and you are a guest. Do the right thing, wear the right kit, put up, shut up, and crack on with it. Your petty rebellion is not going to change a single thing, and will just label you an idiot.

Why white socks? No idea. Does it really matter? No. So if they ask for it, just comply. It isn't hard, it is not demeaning, it just is.

I go to friends houses. They ask me to take my shoes off. In my view, this is stupid. In my house, I don't give a stuff. In theirs, that is what they want, and I comply. I don't argue. It is their place, their rules. I don't throw a strop. I don't go, you cannot be serious, I don't go home, I just take my shoes off.

At least document the change!

Foxy, it's the same question asked from the other side and it's been completely lost in the thread.
We all know that there are dress code rules to follow and if we don't follow them then we can't play the course.
We know that. We'll comply. No discussion.
What we don't know is the reasoning behind 5-6 inches of fabric being offensive - if it's banned it must be - if it's not a certain colour.
Why aren't black gloves banned....?
Or black caps
Or even black shorts...
Being able to wear black knee length socks but not black ankle socks is insane.
It ain't going to change any time soon I suspect
But it's totally insane

What colour are your socks when you take your shoes off? Do they have a 'white socks only' rule too? 😉

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Are you allowed to wear coloured socks with your shorts in the bar??!! 😉😂

Don’t know, I have too much style to wear anything other than grey👌

 

[Deleted member 1418]

19 pages over an item of clothing that costs less than a pint! 👍👏👏😂😂😂

Let's keep this going till we catch the Brexit thread!! 😉

No. They don't have any rules as such, so I always wear one short white, and one long and stripey. That way I am always covered.

OMG don't bring grey into it!!!! 😂😂

Good man.

Will they allow you to wear slippers though? Might be an idea for next time, particularly in the winter months! Although probably best start another thread for that. 😉

The sexy ones that go half way up the calf, pulled up & fitting so tightly that they start going translucent 😋😛

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Yet nobody has answered the question posted on page 1, why is it so other than because the rules say so!

Is it because you look stupid wearing black socks with shorts?

You should always take your slippers with you when visiting friends!

I bet you drive the old lady members wild with those!! 😉

Definitely! In fact I'll just wear them anyway instead of the shoes! 😂

But that actually has the simple reasonable reasoning of them not wanting dog crap on the carpet, no?

If they wouldn’t let you in the house in black socks once the shoes were off you’d think twice 😂

I've got calves like Big Phil I can pull of black socks.. Black shoes however I'd definitely look stupid 😉

Knowing Murph as I do he'd have had the common sense to check the dress code beforehand! 😉😂

Who the heck owns slippers? They are even more naff than black ankle socks with shorts.

I find it to be a good practice not to step in dog mess. Try it, it works.
